Did the USA switch to daylight saving time?
If not, when do they plan to do it?

Thanks,

At least Pennsilvania swithed approx 3 weeks ago to DST.
I do not know whether all states and time zones switch at the same date.

Yeah they did (well mostly - Arizona, Hawaii and some areas in Midwest don't ever switch).  We are now out of sync with the rest of the world.  Well-intentioned changes in the law a couple of years ago to 'save energy' and for a few weeks every Fall and Spring all the normal time zone differentials with the US are an hour different - with all attendant confusions and complications for airline connections etc etc.  Wish it were an April Fool joke but it's just fuzzy thinking.
