    Wait, is it not next week?

    I do agree that we should end it, and I think most people agree. My part of the world (BC, Canada) is ready to drop it and it is waiting for the US states in our time zone to push it through their gridlocked politics. There’s growing pressure to just give up on the US and just do it ourselves. Last I heard, there was bipartisan support in the US to also drop it, but there’s always some other mess to clean up or some other partisan thing that gets stuffed into the bill.

    As for winter time vs. summer time, I really do not care. Both options will hurt some people and help others.

    Pick either one and stick with it

        Ah makes sense, even weirder that we do it on different days.

        What’s the public sentiment like in the EU, are people close to dropping it?

          Obviously I can’t talk for everyone, but I have seen some shows and such on tv or on the internet in favour of dropping it. It would make sense to me as well, but it’s not actively discussed politically afaik. I’m in the netherlands fyi.

        This is my favourite part of the whole ridiculous parade. For a good two weeks or so all my meetings with US colleagues are just chaos.
