This.

It would help fend of S.A.D for a lot of people. Bad enough to have to leave for work when it is dark.
Having it be dark both to and from work really makes life feel extra shitty in the winter.

Naturally California is trying to do away with DST altogether.
Yeah, it being dark after work hours won't hurt businesses, especially in tourist areas and near the beach.

Gonna put on my Liberal thinking cap here.

It's RACISM implied in its name. Daylight Savings Time. Daylight has he word light. Light meaning white and not dark. Light meaning white so it's bias against dark. So yeah, it's Racism.

During DST, solar noon doesn't happen at my location until about 1:30 PM.  This is .

The free market (capitalist) solution is for businesses to adjust their hours to accommodate the changing length of the day as appropriate for them during the year.

I suppose that you believe the urban legend that farmers wanted the kids to help out on the farm during the summer.  LOL.

They tried that in Texas.  Teacher and student burnout was the result.

Under current federal law states can opt to standard time only but not daylight time only. IIRC the currently proposed law would allow states to choose daylight time only if they want.
