We need some common sense on this matter. Get off and stay off of Daylight savings!

If anything is permanent, it should be the way we live now.

Where I live, this is what things are like now.

Winter months::

8:01 AM
Thursday, December 21, 2023 (EST)
5:05 PM
Thursday, December 21, 2023 (EST)

If daylight saving time was permanent:

9:01 AM
Thursday, December 21, 2023 (EST)
6:05 PM
Thursday, December 21, 2023 (EST)

I don't know about the evenings, but 9:01 is too late for sunrise, imo.

Summer months:

5:58 AM
Wednesday, June 21, 2023 (EDT)
9:16 PM
Wednesday, June 21, 2023 (EDT)

If standard time was permanent: (which is what most people would rather have)

4:58 AM
Wednesday, June 21, 2023 (EDT)
8:16 PM
Wednesday, June 21, 2023 (EDT)

I don't know about the evenings, but 4:58 is too early for sunrise, imo.

I say stick to changing our clocks, even if it's a hassle. It's the only way to get the right amount of daylight in the mornings all year round. The only part of the world that shouldn't have to worry about that is everywhere closest to the equator.
