Which is exactly my point. Summer time forces me to get up 1h earlier than normal because I can't choose to come to work an hour late.
But with normal time, you can always choose to live on "summer time" for yourself by getting up an hour early.

My Plague Inc run is finally going as planned.

EU allows automakers to "pool" their fleets with others for CO2 measurements, so if one of them is below the threshold and the other above, they can meet it with the average of their combined fleets and avoid the fines.
The automakers dragging the CO2 average down (by selling EVs) are paid by those who wouldn't meet the limit for this "service".
There's nothing inherently wrong with this. It is an incentive for automakers to do even better than the limit, since they can earn money with it.

No one stops you from getting up 1h earlier in the morning.
Permanent summer time would force everyone to do it.

What's the "logical" time zone?
The one closer to Spanish solar time, or the one shared by most EU countries, which facilitates trade and cross-border cooperation?

Sounds like a pretty good opportunity to train under more realistic conditions.
