How keeping/abolishing daylight saving time would affect your location [map]

It’s that time of the year again. DST is coming so we must screw things up again and change our clocks.
Most people don’t care one way or another if we stay, keep it year round, or abolish it completely.
But for those of you who want one or the other to remain year round, the map below highlights what your location would be looking at with reasonable or unreasonable sunrise/sunset times:
1. Keeping DST year round would give us the awesome sunset times year round, but would really suck for everyone in the mornings around the year.
2. Abolishing DST would give us more of a balance, but people who live on the east side of time zones would have terrible sunset times in the winter. It would be made up for in the mornings in the summer.
Love it or hate it, it’s way past time to stop changing our clocks twice a year.
CGP Grey has a great video explaining where DST really came from, pros and cons, and what abolishing DST would mean for the US.

DST doesn't work in the winter months, the sun doesn't come up till after 0730..

Team always DST

Everyone fights about the longer day but it’s really losing that early morning light that’s bad for the crops. The sunlight before the heat of the day is what they really need. Not the extra hour of hotness at the end.

I would rather stop having to remember which clocks in my house are right and wrong.

What's the visual for landing in between as the permanent time scenario? Meaning, move the clocks 30 minutes forward tonight and then never change it. Show me the heat map for that.

I don’t mind DST cause it’s a reminder that spring is coming.

I live in central time. Flew to colorado yesterday.
So when the clock changes did I really change time zones or did I just imagine it?

Why don't we just move everything up 30 minutes permanently.
That should satisfy everyone

In the winter the east side of time zones aren’t in DST and would keep same sunsets during winter in current system or if DST abolished.

Hate it here in Bama in winter when it gets dark around 4:30. But I also feel for the people further west who will have to deal with 9:00 sunrises. Leave it as is.

If one or the other is kept permanently there are also some tweaks to the time zones depending on which you do that could increase the days with favorable sunrises and sunsets.
Unfortunately I would not expect Congress to be able to figure that out.
I still have not figured out why DST ends when the daylight is a lot shorter than when it starts.

I'm on board with whatever ends global warming

That Map is propaganda, OP. Disagree with reasonable sunrise definition. It should be 6am to 7am, not just anything before 7am. A pre-5am sunrise is NOT reasonable in my opinion.

Keep standard time. No need for it to be daylight until 8:45 in the middle of summer. I would rather the daylight gradually get longer than shocking the system.

I love DST.
I haven't found a reasonable argument for standard time.

We should go to whatever the frick time its supposed to be. Naturally.

The sun rises. The sun sets.
We just keep bullshitting everything in between.

The time should stay one way or the other.
