A few top-level comments from Hacker News, shortened. Read the full thread on Hacker News.
This article mentions that Cuba tried permanent summer time in 2004-06. This makes me wonder, has anyone ever tried permanent summer time and not given up? I know Russia attempted in 2011-2013[1] (before switching to permanent standard time), and the US did it in 1974[2] before going back. I know British Columbia did…
If they still move time back in spring, they will gain 1h per person. If they keep doing it indefinitely, they're looking at some serious profits and boost to GDP.
From what I've gathered, this is the plan for all EU countries as well. But the pandemic has stalled the overall process. https://jp.ibtimes.com/eu-clock-change-plan-stalled-104949
