Crazy people. People that want winter time all the time must not work 9-5. I couldn't imagine someone who gets home at 5 wanting more winter time.

I go to the gym after working 10 hour days. I have maaaaaaybe 3 months a year where I can actually enjoy sunlight during my work week.

It’s not “winter” time, it’s STANDARD (you know, as in regular or normal) time and it’s what sleep experts agree is better for our natural circadian rhythms.

Using Boston as an example, the earliest sunset time on EST last year was 4:11 PM EST in early December 2022. You realize that this would mean a sunset time of 5:11 EDT if we had switched to permanent DST? It's not like 8:00 PM sunsets would be a year-round thing with permanent DST.

And on the flip side, the latest sunrise in January in my neck of the woods was 7:19. If we had been in DST, that would’ve been 8:19. My work begins at 8am.
