Referring to change from summer to winter time. In North America?
(i.e. USA-Canada.)

Not necessarily same date or even any change at all elsewhere.

Never saw the point of this summer time business anyway.

Since these days it's a world society/economy

Right now it's about 09.45h in London, around 01.45h in Los Angeles
and about 06.15h here!

Some countries don't alter their clocks at all and some observe their
sabbath on days other than than our (western) Sunday.

So what; it's all a human inventionto fit in with the earth's rotation
in reference to the sun and seasons of the year!

If someone decided that we can all work on United Nations Time based
on say New York, or Geneva etc. so be it.

On United Nations' time, we wouldn't get any work done at all.

Arizona in the US does not switch to DST. Yet within Arizona the Navajo
Nation does.

Yeah, I remember finding that a bit confusing when driving through AZ some
years ago -- the time kept changing, and I didn't know why.

Hawaii also doesn't observe DST, and until quite recently neither did Indiana.
