To be clear this would stop the changes, just make the winter time permanent.
Wrong. It would make the summer time permanent which is what I assume most would prefer. I'd love to have it get dark later in the morning during the dead of winter and not have it pitch black by 5PM. Make going out for afternoon jogs much easier not to mention commutes home.
If winter time was made permanent you'd have the sun rising around 4AM in the summer in eastern parts of some time zones. The sunrise in Milwaukee on June 21 is 5:12AM and it's getting light at 4:30AM already. That did tend to annoy me about living in the eastern part of a time zone. Where I live now (Sioux Falls) the sun would rise at 5:46AM on the same date... further west in time zone. Would people in Milwaukee rather have the sun rise at 7:20AM on December 21 or 4:12AM on June 21... to me the answer is obvious. Give me 8AMish in the winter!

You're right.
To me, as inconvenient as it may be, I think leaving it as is, spring forward, fall back, is generally the way most people would benefit whether a night owl or early bird. Plus, it's a little bit fun and reminds of the changes in seasons. MO
As long as AZ can still opt out and stay on standard time, I'm in. Everybody here lives for sunset in the summer and pushing it back another hour would be cruel.
Wow. One of the only times I actually agree with something the government wants to do.
The only issue I have is I bet there is a bunch of other crap tagged along with it like reparations for non binary trans inverted triple Q+ inter species humanoids.
Me too. It was perhaps useful 100 years ago, but now it doesn't make any sense. It cost too much money and changing schedules twice a year creates unnecessary
havoc.
Creates health issues too, uptick in heart attacks and other strain-related issues.

I thought part of the purpose was so that school kids would not be in the dark waiting for school buses.
I'd think the more critical time would be making it home in the afternoon. In the dark. If it's dark where they have a morning school bus stop, maybe some genius bureaucrat could suggest installing a street light. Call me crazy.
Florida voted for this years ago and guess what? We are still doing the stupid time thing.
