Getting dark at 5 pm suck, but not as bad as 6 yr olds standing on an urban street corner in the dark
They mostly have a dozen parents out their with them or are even sitting in a car with parents waiting for the bus. It's not like the old days. Even 10-12 year olds have parents outside with them.

I have a job and kids and don't care if it's ever daylight past about 7-7:30pm. I'd prefer it to get dark at least by that time

but it used to suck when you’d get home from work and it would already be dark limiting your outdoor activity.
How much outdoor activity are you doing in the freezing winter? Maybe in Louisiana or Florida, but you ain't doing outdoor activities in the winter in most of the continental U.S.

most people would prefer to have more daylight at the end of the day rather than before they get up

So go to work earlier.

The big push is to remain on DST year round. Why?
For me personally, the couple of parks nearby I run or mountainbike in close at dark. From November to March I have to do these activities on the weekends. Sucks.
Also, I'm a DIY guy on a small farm. Daylight after work lets me get more done around here. Sure, you can use artificial light, but these old eyes prefer it naturally.

Why is standard time all of a sudden a controversy? We’ve done it our whole lives and now you pansies can’t handle it?

It varies some by location but in S LA it would not. It would be daylight until 7:40 during peak summer with standard time

If we ever make DST the standard we'll relocate to the eastern portion of a time zone somewhere in the south (fi I'm thinking about that correctly).

Traffic accidents in the morning would be reduced because most people would be commuting after sunrise during the Summer.

I've been suggesting this since the mid-90s: Split the difference by 30 mins and leave it!

Neighborhood busses come through in the dark on SDT. In rural areas earlier.

Yeah I wouldn't move over it
I don't care for eastern time or Pacific because everything starts too late or too early but I could get used to anything

A majority of the US population doesn’t mind if it’s dark in the morning and prefers daylight later in the evening.
A correlation may be found in the fact that a majority of the US population is overweight or obese.
