Year round standard time would be fine.
Year round DST means the sun comes up around 9 AM in Dec-Jan.
I;m still struggling with my circadian rhythms!
losing that hour of light in the morning is just not sensible
for several YEARS I have been thinking about....”writing” a short concise Ballot Intuitive to end daylight savings time In California
something on the order of:
“California shall recognize Standard Time “
“Time” is an artificial concept anyway, and shifting the clocks twice a year is just a fraud perpetuated by an outdated concept that should have been abandoned with the greater mechanization of industry.
There was a time when day-job employees wanted to get home with their families while it was still light during the summer months, and enjoy that time in the sunlight. But the advent of other time-shifting strategies has largely made this a moot point, and the rationale no longer exists.
It makes a great deal more sense to set staggered start and end times for various employees at the same work place. Even telecommuting jobs have added to this more flexible time management.
The nation tried year-round DST back during the Jimmy Carter years. Like the metric system, it never really took off.
