Actually, no, add an Atlantic Time Zone for New England states.
For Maine all the way out to Michigan being in the same time zone is ridiculous.
It gets dark so stinking early on the eastern seaboard and the sun comes up when people aren’t.
Yeah, “AST” is too small...I guess USA wanted to keep it at 4 zones instead of including Nova Scotia w/Maine and making it 5 time zones for the mainland:

MA and FL same time zone. If it’s Dec and Patriots-Dolphins play at 4:30 it’s pitch black in MA and sunny in FL.
Heading out west and a bit to the south:
Last Sat. sunset was 5:45 pm in MA.
For my friends in Ohio, it was 6:30.
Both increased by an hr the next day.
Heading out to PA or OH near the summer solstice, the late sunsets there were noticeable. All Eastern time zone.
The idea of MA going to “daylight savings year round” means the 7 months of DST we stay the same while the other 5, we would be on Atlantic Standard Time.
New England noticeably further east than
Florida.
