I work with an office closer to the equator; they don't observe DST ever, as there is no reason for them to do so.

So the offset between us changes twice a year.

I doubt you'll get the world to agree on no DST, though.

Yep, we've had to shift a weekly meeting for one hour, for just this week as we (UK) have just changed, but SF changes next week. Very annoying.

Now add northern vs southern hemisphere scheduling. When DTS would work backwards and is also out of sync.

I had this exact thing with Portugal... the time changed something like two weeks apart, and we ended up spending half a day on each end just getting meeting times fixed.

Yeah, one of the fuckups that the presidency of Dubya left behind. It wasn't like this before 2005!

Big Candy wanted it after Halloween.

Fuckups? I often say that this is the one good thing Bush the Younger got done lol. The less standard time the better as far as I'm concerned (I live in NY where 4pm sunsets in the winter are a huge bummer).
