Does everyone who hates DST live in the South. I know in Chicago I appreciate it. If we stayed on regular time all year, the sun would rise at 4:30 in the summer and set at 7:30, if we went to DST in winter, the sun would rise at 8:30 and set at 5:00. Does changing the clock on a Saturday really bother people that much?

The daylight hours (in relation to a clock) naturally change as the seasons change.

It’s not the simple act of resetting a clock that bothers people “that much”. It’s having to make an abrupt adjustment (for a change that is occurring anyway) rather than a gradual one.
