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?

    We keep DST for more months than ST so I think more people like it more.

    I kinda think it runs backwards, making the sun set even earlier in the clock day during winter. So much more dispiriting to come home in the dark than to go to work in the dark.

    My argument for ending it is that you can’t make days longer or shorter by moving the clock around, but I think we should just keep adding weeks onto DST and taking them away from ST until eventually it’s just DST. But settling on either scheme would be ok, better than switching back and forth.
