What BS. We have had DST since the 1930's. The drive-in movie industry didn't even really get going until the fifties.

As for "health" consequences, bunk. Ask leading questions of enough suggestible people and you can get any answer you want.

In the 1930s, a fellow and his date couldn’t cuddle up like what was possible in the 50s and 60s.
I remember the year we had year round DST. The sun came up at 8:45 in January.

Guess they didn’t live in slow time all the time. If they had, I guess they’d have lived to 120.

I hate it too. I hate the change.

Either keep all year or get rid of it.

Getting rid of it would mean the crack of dawn in summertime where I live would be 4am. That’s too early to see anyone’s crack, especially ole Mr. Sunshine.

I wouldn’t mind staying on it all year, I like dark mornings and bright evenings. Florida was considering doing that.

Or you could split the difference and move half an hour forward and stay there.

I would like an extra hour every few weekends, say once a month, as long as I dont have a job where I have to work that extra hour (midnight shift on weekends) like my Mom did before she retired.

I worked on a ranch in Nevada for a couple of years...none of the neigbors or the guy I worked for changed their clocks. We stayed on Austin, (Nv) time which was before the sun came up until after it went down. I never even wore a wrist watch for two years!

What a pain that was when I was working at a mine in California and living in Yuma.
