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..

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.

People playing golf at 2000 in exchange for being dark at 0815 is completely ridiculous.

It only last a couple months, and what would you do for an additional hour in the winter ?
This is the natural course of a day that evolves with the seasons, until we started messing around with it.
I've always said a compromise would be fine, DST b/t Memorial Day and Labor Day, Standard Time the rest of the year.

Thanks for proving my point.. I was kind of being a little liber with that 7:30 time.
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.
I like DST in the spring and summer months, but it sucks in the winter.

You do realize the sun rises and sets at its usual time, us changing our clocks doesn't affect it...

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.

The crops don't know what time it is dumbass

I wish they would go back to this.

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?
