Most of the world is the voice of reason actually.
This is a very European / North American problem for some reason. There are some exceptions, but in general Asia, Africa and South America don't do this.

This is surely an exaggeration.
The EU again is all talk and no action on this topic. 84% said in a poll to get rid of it back in 2018, parliament voted to end it by 2021. But here we are at the end of 2026 turning the clocks back again. Next march same thing. Honestly at this point I don't think it will ever happen, they will still be "discussing"it in 2040.

How would something that has been in effect for at least 60 years still lead to a worsening mental state over time?
Calling canceling a time change mere days before it was going to happen "the voice of reason" is rich
