Yes, absolutely.

It's dumb that we still change our clocks twice a year.

If Daylight Savings were year round are we working on summer time or winter time?

It won't work because during some harvests that are grown outside of DST, the extra hour of daylight is burning the crops.

Why do people get so worked up over changing the clock. Sure, it takes time to get used too, but I think we can manage.

It was a dumb idea from the start to assume people couldn't adjust their habits based on times of the year. If the Arizonaians can do it, why can't we? It doesn't even matter to the ~50% of people who don't do anything in this state

One good reason not to do it. Especially with global warming.

Only if we are always ON daylight savings time. I like when it is still light out at 8:00-8:30 pm

Only b/t Memorial Day and Labor Day. If not, just do as AZ does, not at all.
