Amazing the lack of consensus here, or maybe not, considering stepping one foot to the west on any of those boundaries changes you ST to DST

It is all politics at thr behesy of the Chamber of Commerce.Indiana was originally CST which made us closer to sun time .But the business people eanted to be in step with New York not Chicago.So Indiana is already one hour ahead of sun time,the “daylight “farce put us two hours ahead.

It was better when the “dayligjt saving” period was shorter

DST March 21 to Sept 21 if you must have it.

I thought about it some more...

Seattle’s longest day is about 16 hours.
Philadelphia’s is about 15 hours.
Jacksonville’s is about 14 hours.
Miami’s is something like 13.75 hours - you’d have to go as far south as Guatemala to get a 13 hour longest day.

I’m guessing Seattle doesn’t want a 4 am sunrise and 8 pm sunset.
