Kids waiting for the bus in the dark is the most legitimate concern when it comes to this issue.
That’s gonna happen anyway. There is no way to guarantee a reasonable sunrise time all year. I hate changing the clocks and like getting up after sunrise, but nothing is more dispiriting than going home from work in the dark, and there would be less of that with permanent DST.
Well, we could just define sunrise as 7 a.m. and Sunset as 7 p.m.
That would mean very long 12 hours in summer and very short 12 hours in winter, but it would make sure that no kid had to take a bus in the dark (unless they take a bus considerably before 7)
Happens a heck of a lot less though the other way. And you being inconvienced is way less compelling.
I’m all for Standard Time
The reason it happens less is DST though.
