     not possible. daylight savings is supposed to be around summer, but summer occurs at different parts of the year depending on which hemisphere you're on.
     
     back when (most of) Brazil had DST, my US and Europe weekly meeting times varied by up to 2 hours throughout the year, and remained at each extreme for months
     
     Europe vs US out-of-sync DST is like playing that game in easy mode

     Oh no... EXCEPT FOR THE ONES AT HOME IN SASKATCHEWAN. Welp, my meeting calendar is fucked, pretty sure that it's going to get all the time zones wrong for everything forever now. (Luckily I will leave NZ before they go off daylight savings time, or I'd have to do another rant and watch my meeting calendar get even more fucked...)
