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?

    I’ll give you the only argument I ever give for this.

    Congress once voted to end it, the backlash from constituents was severe and they could not reimplement it fast enough.

      But they changed it suddenly in January, instead of just not changing back in the fall. That was dumb.

      They went about it in a stupid way and now we’re doomed for all time because it gets pointed to as proof we can never end DST 🥲

      No they enacted permanent DST in the 70s. OP is asking for arguments against ending DST. The backlash against permanent DST in the 70s was because kids going to school in the early morning darkness were being hit y cars.
