We should surely stop futzing with the clock. It's silly. However, I want to switch to DST then leave it there.
Standard time sucks.
Give me the "extra" daylight in the evening. Not the morning.

Spring forward - then never change back. Just leave it there.

i would like this post twice if the software allowed it.
 
I would say get rid of it. Or rather keep it all year. I prefer to have more daylight in the evening, and don't really care if the sun doesn't come up until 9 AM in the winter. And I really don't want the sun rising at 4:30 in the summer.
 
reverse it -summer is endless days solstice sun comes up at 5:30 AM sets at 9:30 PM

winter is sun up at 8AM, down at 5:30 -my body never gets a chace to adjust. reversing it would be more even times the whole year - otherwise just do away with it.
 
No, we don't need it anymore.


It's not that DST isn't a safety factor in some areas, it's that those areas can easily adjust their time for what they need. Since computers now control most time-related functions it's just not that hard for an enterprise, whether it be business or government, to adjust their own clocks as needed to account for climate and seasons.
