It is dumb to have the extra hour of daylight in the morning. They should have late at night when the crimes happen.

Where I live, on the western edge of the time zone, it’s light in June ‘til 10:00 PM.

Try telling that to the kids at the bus stops and the parents who want that extra hour of daylight in the morning hours!

Supposedly Benjamin Franklin first came up with the idea of daylight saving time when he was the US Minister to France. Paris being pretty far north (almost 49 degrees North latitude) meant that sunlight came into his bedroom pretty early in the morning in the summertime, and he liked to go to parties in the evening.
