I grew up in Clay County Illinois in the 1970s and 80s. Our television stations came from Terra Haute and Evansville Indiana. The time was over the place. Sometimes we were on the same time as Terra Haute and other times not. Evansville is in our time zone CTS.

We could switch to a 13 month calendar and simplify the world even more. It would put calendar companies out of business though because every month would be the same 28 days falling on the same days of the week. No need to look up dates because they're all the same. Complexity is job security I guess.

the further north you are the more the time effects you. right now sun rises at 7:08am and sets at 4:42pm. and on Dec 21 2023. sunrise is 7:56 and sunset is 4:22PM. I worked in the navy so you were at work at 7am and left work 3-4pm.. so winter was no sun for us and again for summer time.. jun 21 2023 5:13am sunrise and 9:12 pm sunset. so for me DST makes no real sense in the winter kids still went to school in the near dark and 9-5 workers ended up driving home at or right after sunset . It never made sense to me and it still dose not make sense. but now i am retired and the only think it changes for me is when i take my meds because i take meds at 4 times a day and we separate the meds so i have to actually change when i take them to keep the separation proper

I agree, I work from 6am to 5pm. It’s dark when I leave for work and sun is setting on my way home. I mine as well work a night shift if I want to see the sun.

I say keep it the way it is. It explains why it's dark at 5 p.m....... Plus, the government wouldn't spend the 434 million on us anyway. Probably just send it to Ukraine.

The U.K. tried staying on BST all year in 1968. Due to unpopularity it was abandoned but later analysis showed fewer children died that year.

As some who move to Arizona a year ago, I honestly wish we had DST. Not switching causes some weird problems I had never thought of. But I’m still in support of getting rid of it country wide.

DST causes us to spend more money on electricity for air conditioning because of the heat because the sun is up longer, here in Texas until 830 or later at night. On standard time the sun is up after all, until 730 at night so you get plenty of daylight if you're working outside. But it sure does make it feel hotter longer. I would rather see daylight saving time abolished.

Try living further North. The sunrise and sunset times flux much more than it does for you in the South. In Dallas hours of sunlight between June 20th and December 21st varies by 4:19. In Kansas City it is 5:30 and Minneapolis it is 6:51. Obviously, there are even bigger differences going further South or North. The impact of not changing between daylight and standard time are much more significant the further North you go. Personally, I'd rather have it lighter in the morning in winter and later in the day in summer, but that's just me.

There is no point of it being lighter earlier. I’ve worked outside starting 7am the the last 7 years (Michigan) most places that do landscaping type of work have an hr of morning prep before we roll out. By that time it’s light out. Why does it have to get dark at 5:30 it’s ridiculous imo. By the time most are out of work it’s dark out.

The whole idea of "saving daylight" is ludicrous. Shifting the time around saves nothing. It is annoying and silly, and apparently costly. Stick with one time and be done.
