What about those of us who walk our dogs and ride our bikes before work...and take our kids to school.

exactly why we shouldn't make permanent DST, plenty of deaths, goes against the natural order of circadian rhythms?

So you take your dog out and your kids to school between 7:25 am and what, 8:30? That’s some fast action. My middle school started at 7:25!

Do you not have to be at work until 10a or after? How do you have time to do all that in sunlight even during standard time?

given even the latest sunrises are at 730, you've easily got enough time for a lot of that

Assuming you have to be in the office by the standard 8-9am and you have the average American commute of 30-45min, I don't follow how it would be possible.

9am start time, 15 minute commute door to door. I shower before bed so all I need to do is brush my teeth, quick snack, and get dressed.

up at 7:30, 15m to walk the dog, 15m to get your kids to school, a half hour bike ride, and then a 15m walk to work? still leaves 15m in there to flex between things

The average American doesn't have a 15 minute walk to work commute. We're talking about country wide policy change.

yeah but the average american also doesn't drop their kids off at school or walk a dog or bike either. And that still would leave, as I noted, a 15m flex time so that could easily be a 30m commute.
