The sun rising even later in the winter is far worse than rising earlier in the summer. It is also giving in to the idea that ‘business hours’, which are lopsided to after noon, needing to drive everyone’s clocks instead of the sun.
9 to 5 or 8 to 5 business hours are the problem. Just make business hours an even 8 to 4 and you have the exact same evening hours as DST but mornings are not any later in the winter than they are with standard time.
You can’t change business hours like that. It would require a lot more of a law to mandate anything of the sort.
I want more evening daylight so I can actually do things after I’m done with work. Changing to DST would make that easier. IDGAF about morning light. Others may want the opposite but I guess they are morning people.

Businesses can just change their own hours. Wherever they want. Doesn’t require a law or anything.
All the government has to do is do away with daylight savings, and you can negotiate with your boss for better start/end times for your personal needs.
Yes. You cannot get a law through Congress that saws all office businesses change their start times. There isn’t a law mandating that now, it’s just convention. The very idea you can make sweeping changes like that without major pushback is silly.
Yes. But in Summer you have MORE light all the time. You don’t have an issue with late sunrise and early sunset in the summer. You have that in winter. And my position is I’d like more sunlight in the evening rather than the morning. That’s it.
If you’re a morning person, you don’t mind rising earlier, so DST is what you’d want. I’m an evening person, and I find it terrible to wake up at 6:30 while my biological clock says it’s only 5:30.

“You can’t change business hours like that”
Businesses set their hours however they want, they’re private.

You can’t write laws for businesses, just for everyone else?
You do know that DST happens in the summer, right?
Yeah, I don’t really understand the concept of needing to save daylight hours during the time of the longest amounts of daylight per day.
