I’d rather that standard time be made permanent.
The United Stated tried permanent daylight savings time in 1974-1975, but people didn't like it. In the winter, it was dark too late in the morning. There was morning rush hour traffic and kids were going to school in pitch black darkness.

I remember, I was one of those kids. All of us used to take flashlights, I had one that was like a raygun from a sci-fi movie, we used to play Star Trek or German Spotlight (when the light hits you, you're captured) when we waited for the school bus.

Hardly remember it. Didn’t give it much thought at all.
Pick one and leave it alone.
Shift 1/2 hour and don’t make anybody happy.
There has always been morning rush hour traffic. It doesn’t matter what kind of time we use. It still remains.
We always caught the bus in darkness in the winter. No avoiding it. That’s what happens when you live 20 miles out.
