What are the arguments *against* ending Daylight Savings Time in the USA? - Lemmy

This seems like such a simple thing to me, and yet the US just can’t seem to get it done. What are the issues preventing this?

BC/Vancouver just removed it but made it DST year round. My only worry against that is that mornings would be hella dark. For where I live, sunrise in the winter (standard time) is around 7:55AM, meaning that’s crack of dawn first light. Spring forward, so 7:55 becomes 8:55, meaning our first sunlight of the day won’t be until about 9am. Now, our evenings will be a bit longer (sunset is around 4-4:30, so now 5-5:30, but still most people won’t even see sunrise.
DST shifts make more sense for higher latitude than it does for southern ones. ironically.
