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've always said a compromise would be fine, DST b/t Memorial Day and Labor Day, Standard Time the rest of the year.
I wish they would go back to this.
Sunrise would get to be very early by late May, but it would still have a huge benefit. We would be springing ahead on a 3 day weekend so Monday would help us recover from the jet lag.
Plus getting up before sunrise is bad.

I pretty much always get up in the dark so that won't change for me either way. Not every weekend but sometimes then too.
Permanent DST gives us 8-9am sunrises part of the year and 8:45pm sunsets at others. The worst of both worlds imo. Extremely late sunrises and extremely late sunsets.

Sun setting at 5 in winter sucks
Studies have shown it as a direct cause of higher depression that time of year
For a lot of people it means spending 90% of daylight hours while working, 5 days a week. It is depressing. Get to work when it's still dark, and get home with minimal or no light left. Neither direction will benefit everyone, but consistency will. In Louisiana, DST would be better for most, as can be seen in the OP.

Crops don’t care what the clock on the wall says dude. They get the same amount of sunlight regardless

DST doesn't work in the winter months, the sun doesn't come up till after 0730..
Not a problem for those who work at home.

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

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.
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.

Please tell me you’re trolling. Please.

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.

Is March - November only 2 months now?
The days get longer after DEC. Have you noticed it's not dark at 1715 for the last 45 days ?

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.

Then in 5 years some critical bug will be in crisis.

I remember they tried it in the 70's and all the parents were pissed because their kids were waiting at the school bus stops in the dark.
But do you remember the rest of the advertisements? The parents weren't complaining about the dark, they were loudly complaining about the children standing in the dark in the RAIN. Pictures of miserable kids in total rain gear waiting for the bus.
Until someone pointed out that DSt didn't affect rainfall. Whups.
Now that a larger % of parents drop their kids off in the morning and park for hours in the afternoon to pick them up, how much does the argument falter?

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.

No one wants to bring their kids to school in the dark, and, believe it or not, some kids still catch the bus.
