Reply to comment by technoferal in It is 7:34 in the morning the day before the winter solstice. Look outside right now, and know that if we did “Daylight Saving” time year round, it would be 8:34. by factotvm

Japan, China and Russia are the only industrialized nations that don't switch clocks. Almost all other nations that don't are tropical so it makes no difference.

It's just another made up first world problem.

That's a nice copy/paste from Google's first hit, but it completely ignores Arizona, Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico... And that's just US. (And there are more) Here's a whole list of countries without DST that your quick Google didn't catch: https://greenwichmeantime.com/countries

None of which had anything to do with the point that we already have mismatches in time change that cause the problems you claim would be caused by not participating.
