Whichever has the sun set earlier so it isn't so damn hot in the evening

Standard Time Vs DST
I said it in the other thread and I'll say it here. Change the clocks 30 minutes and leave it. No more time changes

Just move Louisiana and any central time zone areas that want year round DST to Eastern Standard Time, and if any East Coast States want Year round DST, they move to Atlantic Standard time. So essentially you have year round DST without having to change the law in observing year round DST.
Your state just has to get the transportation secretary to approve it.

Kids having to get to school when it's dark is definitely an issue with remaining on Daylight Time during the winter. It's not such a big deal for me / my kids, because I drive them, but a lot of kids wait outside for a bus or even walk. Don't think we really want that situation to be in full darkness or anything close to it.
Using New Orleans as an example--and e.g. Shreveport would be considerably worse--by the time you get to the latest sunrise of the year (around January 10), Daylight Time would mean it would not even really start getting lighter in the eastern sky* until about 7:36 a.m., and actual sunrise** would be around 7:59. With more than a few schools starting in the 7:45 - 8:00 range, lots of kids would be waiting for a bus or walking in the dark. Go choose your location and check it for yourself.***
*I've chosen the sun 5 degrees below the horizon for that.
**Which is standardly defined as the center of the sun right at the horizon.
***See, e.g., the NOAA website.

Then we basically become India since they're 30 minutes off the rest of the world.

You do realize that darkness doesn't fall at 5:15-30-ish during the entirety of Standard time, right? Also, if we left it on Standard time all year, sunset would continue to shift to a later time.

“Eastern standard time” is not the name of the time zone. It’s the “Eastern Time Zone”. You’re either on eastern standard time or eastern daylight time. But not both.
