I do think there has to be time zones just for the fact that some countries are big enough to be hours apart when it comes to hours that people might be working. But this Daylight and Standard time is a total waste of time and money. If they want to have it be one or the other, fine. But they need to keep it the same year 'round. When we were a more agrerian society DST was established to help the farmers get in their crops. My husband's cousins in Iowa work day and night to get their crops in, depending on the weather and not the time of day.
