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!
