[livejournal.com profile] acroyear70 provided another reason for me to refer to DST as "Daylight Spending Time", with his glimpse into the costs of changing the start/end dates for DST (search for the phrase "crappy time" if you want to skip over the reasons I already mentioned -- or don't skip over it because he discusses it in much more detail and includes some relevant history). His back-of-a-napkin estimate is $10,000,000,000 spent just by folks maintaining systems that use Java, to deal with the change. Now that's some Daylight Spending!
