They'd want even more power because they'd realize there is much more to be taken.

As part of .NET 7, developers now have the ability to tag strings using the StringSyntax attribute. [ItIsAStringAttribute()]
OK, maybe it's a bit more than that

When I lived in L.A., the congresscritter there was advocating for "Double Daylight Saving Time" -- CA would be on Mountain Standard Time in the winter and Central Standard Time in the summer. Because we don't do Daylight Saving Time here in Arizona, L.A. would be an hour ahead of Phoenix in the summer.

Or increase it...
in the EU was said, that every country could then choose sommer or winter time as they wished... 
If avolished, then every country should go to their geografic time slot, period. Everything else would be totally bullsh1t

So what is Norway's geographic time slot? USA's? China's?
|
|
|

The problem is that tiny little Norway spans three time zones, China spans five. USA runs from -12 to -4, that is nine zones. But Norway has decided that CET shall apply both to the easternmost and westernmost time zones as well. China has said something similar: Beijing time applies to the entire country. Countries split on different time zones are those who will have most trouble.
If USA decides on "whatever they choose" as the common time zone, I guess citizens of eight out of the nine zones will get p***d. So why not make it equal for all and go for UTC.
I think that any change related to time zones, including DST, should conclude with UTC being the thing to go for. Any change will cause disturbances, and UTC is the best end result. Trying to reduce disturbances by going to another solution which really is second rate or third rate is not the way to go. It gives you all the trouble for half the benefits (or less)!
Then it is better to avoid all trouble caused by changing time zones and keep everything the way they are today! If Norway abandons DST, I would much rather that we go to UTC (which would be the "right" one for the westernmost parts), rather than stay at UTC+1 (CET) or UTC+2 (CEST), even if that would require a change all year around, not just half of the year. A change is a change!
