BC got rid of Daylight Savings (opens in new tab)

At least with perma-DST you at least get daylight once you leave work; with perma-Standard you don't get that either.

With pure standard time we would never have sunset before 5 pm but daylight savings puts half the year's 7 am before the sun has risen, and if you are an early riser as I have become, before the dawn breaks.

It also gives us four months where it's very hard to get children to sleep after 8 pm and for me it's even hard to start winding down.

I think summer time is really non-optimal for most purposes, changing the clocks sucks, and most individuals that work do so for too many hours a day. It's a local maximum in terms of how we socially manage time and people mistake optimising our society towards it to be optimising towards a global maximum.

Imagine if there was no DST and someone said "let's change every clock...", I would think it's a classic XY problem.
