It is that time again. Yep, time for me to bitch about Daylight Savings Time. If you are in the UK and (I would guess) most of Europe, you need to "fall back" tonight.
But, if you are in North America (or other places) this stupid ritual does not take into effect until next week. Good luck to all those international business meetings on Monday. Better luck to drivers on the road.
It is time to end this practice. There are two options:
I will give you a year on Option 2. All we have to do is lose thirty minutes on 31 December 2019. Some time before the clocks strike midnight, say at 23:00, we set the clocks ahead to 23:30...making New Years Day 1 January 2020 at 00:00 (wherever you are in the world) the new time. From then on, we leave time alone. Remember Y2K? Well, this is Y2K2X!

It is time to end this practice. There are two options:
- Leave the time at Standard Time. Uh...because that should be the STANDARD
- My crazy idea that I have said this for decades: just set the time (in all time zones) a half and hour off and leave it. We do it once, and that is it.
