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.
