America tried permanent daylight savings in the 70s. It started out popular but then became extremely unpopular once people realized it was dark all morning in the winter. There were extreme safety concerns for children going to school in the darkness

Split the difference and call it a day.
What!?!?!? You mean government can’t give us more daylight?!?!??!
It was also dangerous. People may bbe tired after work but in the morning they’re “stunad”, and far more prone to doing dumb things in a car.
I can adjust to nature’s world and the sun and moon, night and day, morning and evening during different seasons, I just want them to pick a time and stay with it.
It is, if course, totally out of the question to delay school until it gets light outside? Rather than forcing everyone to change their clocks twice a year?
Exactly! Everyone HATED IT!
That is my big concern with DST starting so early in the year.
If we are to have DST it should be for the summer months.
Permanent standard time only.
That is why permanent Daylight Savings Time (Spring Forward / lose an hour) won’t work and why permanent Standard Time (Fall Back / gain an hour) has to become permanent.
Yes, I remember that, and that’s why it should be left alone. The current setup isn’t perfect, but it’s a better way of managing the time so that the hours of daylight are more useful to more people. In the summer where I live, a sunset at 8:30 p.m. is more useful than an sunrise at 4:00 a.m.
And people driving to work in the dark.
