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

I care which one we stick to because going home at 5pm in the dark is depressing for a whole month in the northern half of the US. I’d much rather go to work in the dark then go home with the last bit of light and do something fun before the sun sets.

I think the USA already tried the permanent summer time thing. They stopped after two years, because it was bad.
If you actually would like to get up earlier for work or school, then yes, summer time is indeed better for you. You are also part of a small minority that sees it that way. Most would like to get up and show up to work later instead.

Standard time is winter time. I never remember what daylight savings time is either. In German it’s just summer time and normal time/winter time. You’re not actually saving any daylight by moving the clocks around!
There is a bit of leeway which time zone to choose. I mean Spain and Poland are doing fine too. But 1 hour offset from normal seems to be the limit of what is reasonable.
This whole discussion would be useless if we just introduce flexible working hours and have school start an hour late. Instead of 9-5 you’d have 10-6 and people won’t have to get up as early.
