Keep noon the zenith? You do know that we used to do that before standardized time zones right? Didn't quite work out too good.
Just change the hours we are open? Yeah, real good when you're trying to do business with east coast types. Is it 4 hours or 3 hours or 5 hours difference today? Oh crap, is NJ on DST but NY isn't, what about Indiana again? Not confusing at all.
Why is it so damn hard to just accept DST and all the inconveniences it brings? Clearly the benefits of changing the clocks outweigh a few people being tired for a week or two twice a year.

The problems you're pretending would exist already do, and would actually be removed if we all stopped changing the clocks. There are lots of places that don't change them, and even more that change them on a different schedule.

Japan, China and Russia are the only industrialized nations that don't switch clocks. Almost all other nations that don't are tropical so it makes no difference.
It's just another made up first world problem.

That's a nice copy/paste from Google's first hit, but it completely ignores Arizona, Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico... And that's just US. (And there are more) Here's a whole list of countries without DST that your quick Google didn't catch: https://greenwichmeantime.com/countries
None of which had anything to do with the point that we already have mismatches in time change that cause the problems you claim would be caused by not participating.

Correct and I have no patience for those claiming to be tired. There is no reason to be. You know when it's coming. Plan better.
