Except they got it reversed. I personally (esp being in east end of time zone) would prefer DST all the time. But the ONE legit argument of all I've heard is kids in the dark before school in winter (don't tell me about the farmers, not only do combines have fucking lights now, many of them are robot/GPS-driven anyway).
So I'd much rather we just stay on standard time - the days will still get longer enough soon enough to do summer stuff anyway.
Yep, of course I understand this. So admittedly we'd have to switch one more time. I just honestly can't get behind the permanent DST as much as I'd personally prefer it for the reason stated is all.
Yes, but reread my whole comment fren, just because this is my preference doesn't mean it's what I'm advocating after listening to the reasoning for staying on standard time.
YES the kids are what this is about now, hobby gardeners after work should not factor into the decision making when kids are so disproportionately affected. My thought is a half hour compromise, take us back a half hour in the fall and leave it. Otherwise we should look at creating another timezone or two and reconfiguring timezones so the west portions of timezones arent so out of whack
Then we'd consistently be 30 minutes out of sync with the entire rest of the world, as time zones are divided into different full hour segments. You can't just move 30 minutes back and still work with the time zones around the world.

I wish they would have split the difference and made it a 30 minutes offset.
Fall back 30 minutes this fall and be done.

Am I really the first to suggest that we fall back 17 minutes come fall?
Several regions are 30 and 45 minutes off.
