Is there anyone who is against it?

Sure. More darkness in the morning means more kids getting run over on the way to school. We have a kid killed going to school every year or two around my neck of the woods. It’s almost always in the morning.

Don't give a rip either way but pick a time and stick to it.

“Is there anyone who is against it?”

Polls consistently show a preference for eliminating DST and reverting to Standard time year round.

I think it should be eliminated. It's pointless.

Way back when they tried it during the Carter era, lots of parents were up in arms that their kids would be waiting for their school busses in the dark.

That was still the time before the kids were either (a)picked up at their front door or (b)the parents drove them the two blocks or so to the bus stop and waited with them.

Heck, when I was a pup, every kid was expected to walk a quarter mile or more to their bus stop. The parents had already left for work and ANYONE who passed a school bus with lights flashing in EITHER direction would have then book thrown at them.

Even more weird is that busses would pick up elementary, junior and high school students on the same run. If you behaved like an urban feral, you had your bus riding rights suspended. Thus, there weren't many fights on school busses.

Plus if you lived within a mile or two of the school (distance varied by locality), you were EXPECTED to walk.

I prefer reverting to Standard Time. If groups want dark mornings, then go to work earlier. If Daylight time becomes standard though, that would be ok; just stop with changing the damned clocks.
