This seems like such a simple thing to me, and yet the US just can’t seem to get it done. What are the issues preventing this?

    That only works at a certain latitude. Further north it remains dark in the morning anyway

      Where I live, in December it’s dark when I go to work and dark when I get out. That’s just how it is, so who cares?

      Meanwhile in June I can’t get to sleep due to they sky still being bright and blocking melatonin production until about 11pm. If we got rid of DST it’d get dark at 10pm.

      And I don’t care if sunrise would end up 4:30am. It’s easy to set up blackout curtains in the bedroom to stay asleep.
