      I disagree. The sun does not need to be up at 9pm in the summer. We have light bulbs now.

      Eliminate DST entirely, and call it a day. Like the other person said, Arizona has the right idea. Let’s do permanent fall/winter time. People who live in far north regions like Alaska, Iceland, Norway, etc can go to permanent DST if they want. But it doesn’t make sense for most of the world.

      They tried that for a year or two in the 70s. Everyone hated it.

        Who is “they”? Also, most of the world doesn’t have DST and they seem to be doing okay.

          The US at least I think some of Europe was involved, and that’s what I was saying. We tried full time DST and it doesn’t work.

        “Everyone” hates the status quo, too. And I bet if we made it standard time year round, “everyone” would hate that.

          To clarify, they hated it enough to change it back to switching twice a year.
