Changing the clocks in NOT a big deal. It’s “a hassle” because people are lazy. If they can’t do it with their TV remote, it’s a hassle.

I like DST, living in the NE.

I too like DST. Living in NE, November and March suck anyway so what is the difference? We can’t have 50 states with different times FGS.
Sun would come up here at 4AM and set at 7 in the summer. Really? How lazy can you get?

Me too!I am both lazy and happy with DST, now that I’ve adjusted this time around and finished setting all my non-self adjusting time devices.

It's not the changing of the clocks that's the problem. It's the disruption to daily life.

I've long said that the easiest way to make adjustments for the summer time is to simply change your work/business hours. If I want an "extra hour of daylight" in the evening, I should just change my work schedule accordingly and show up an hour earlier for work.

Interestingly, I believe a lot of the pressure to eliminate DST comes from companies that do business globally. Not every country has Daylight Savings Time, and DST is extremely disruptive for a company like FedEx because it operates on such a tight schedule and can't lose an hour of shipping time without causing a ripple-effect through its whole schedule.
