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?

    This has zero impact on our daily schedule except for the numbers we assign to it.

    Daylight-saving time fucks with our daily schedule twice a year for no reason.

      You think losing 2-3 hours of sunlight would make “zero impact”? I don’t. And yes, if it’s sunny when you’re asleep, and dark when you’re awake, you lost the sunlight.

        To take your example:

        almost nobody is up at 4-5 AM, and almost everybody wants to stay out from 7-9 PM in the summer.

        Without daylight-saving time it’s exactly the same except the numbers: “nobody is up at 5-6 AM and everybody wants to stay out from 8-10 PM in the summer”

          why yes, that is the point, more sunlight is better! which is why less sunlight is worse, and we shouldn’t switch to less sunlight. <3
