    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.

      I’m in one of those more northern areas so maybe that’s why I prefer DST. In the summer the sun is up so early and sets so late that it doesn’t matter, but in the winter DST would mean at least some evening light when more people have free time than dark at both ends.

      I’m in Canada and I just don’t want it to get dark at 3PM. That’s why I like DST
