During daylight savings time, Texas is in the Central Time Zone and Michigan is in the Eastern Time Zone. Therefore, when daylight savings time is in effect, Michigan is 1 hour ahead of Texas.
Daylight savings would not be useful in Antarctica since the region experiences extreme daylight variations throughout the year, with periods of continuous daylight or continuous nighttime depending on the season. Implementing daylight savings would not significantly impact daylight availability in such extreme conditions.
The decision to expand the portion of the year in which we would use daylight savings time was made on the principle that more daylight would be saved, that is, the original purpose of daylight savings time would be accomplished to a greater degree; human schedules would better synchronize with the hours when the sun is up.
Daylight savings provides a balance of daylight in the evenings and mornings. Without the time change, there would be darker mornings in the winter, affecting visibility and potentially increasing risks for commuters and school children. Sticking to one time all year could also disrupt schedules and routines that rely on the changing of the clocks.
In "Daylight Saving Time," "Daylight Saving" is being used as an adjective - as in time that is saving daylight. "Daylight Savings" would be a noun itself, and makes little sense applied as an adjective in this context. Many people use the word savings, not knowing the correct way to say it. Edit; "Daylight Saving" time.

Unlikely. It would require a law to be passed.

That would be DST which stands for Daylight Savings Time.

Daylight savings time is intended to give people another full hour of daytime for work and fun, but mostly for extended outdoor work hours. The full hour is subtracted from the time that daytime normally would begin, removing one full hour of daylight.
Hawaii is relatively close to the equator with minor changes to daylight because of season. Daylight savings would complicate international business and tourists, with no added benefit. Arizona has determined the twice a year time changes complicate business operations without energy savings or any other benefit. Energy loss may actually occur because of increased use of residential air conditioning. Overall, daylight savings are not uniformly observed internationally. Most countries do not observe daylight saving time as the US does. Countries that observe daylight saving time do not all change their clocks on the same days or time. Operating on standard time and ignoring daylight saving time simplifies transactions in the global economy.

The majority of Arizona does not observe Daylight Savings Time and so they would remain on Mountain Standard Time year around. However, there are some areas of Northeastern Arizona that do change to Daylight Savings Time and that would make them one hour ahead of the rest of Arizona for that summer season until they change back in the fall and they are then together with the rest of the state again, back on Mountain Standard Time.
Daylight Savings Time was designed to "capture" early morning hours of daylight by moving them into the work day and afternoon. In this way, people on a fixed hourly schedule would not have to adjust their work times to take advantage of an earlier sunrise. It is done automatically by adding an hour when the local sunrise is between 6 and 6:30 AM.

It is more correct to say Pacific Daylight Time when daylight saving time is in effect, typically from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November. Outside of daylight saving time, it is correct to say Pacific Standard Time.
