It's October, soon we'll switch to winter time. Does anybody know what happened to the suggestion to remove it? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Latest article I could find is this one: https://www.thejournal.ie/eu-plans-to-abolish-clock-changes-6024800-Mar2023/

I know the EU can be a bit slow, but the vote was held in 2019, seems like enough time elapsed since then.

Your condescending reply ignores that fact that there's a big chunk of the rest of that half of the year where the sun doesn't set at its earliest but still sets early.

Not shifting the time back in the fall would mean people getting home from work still get more evening daylight hours for part of the fall and winter.

You also seem to forget many buildings people work in have these things called windows through which sunlight can enter.
