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.

I just get up later. I don’t get it. The day is the same, just shift when you do things.

That’s how it should be of course. Problem is businesses and companies still follow standard business hours and make their employees show up at the same time no matter if DST is in effect or not.
