If DST wasn’t a thing, it would still not get dark in the summer time until after 9PM for me. I’d rather stay on permanent DST because winter is absolutely miserable when it’s dark until mid-late morning, dreary, rainy, and overcast all “day”, and then dark again by mid-afternoon.

I ink it really depends, to be honest.

I know I get a bit grim with winter reducing activities. What is impossible to tease out is just how much of this is weather changing with time zone.

I ink what matters most is the population centres and how they’re affected - my thinking is if most of the population is grouped in places that benefit from being ‘more livable’ because they’re not as dark and damp through ones daily experiences, then it’d be worth keeping.

I live in NZ and think itd be great here, but we’re quite far from the equator, so get a lot of dawn and dusk (I feel like it would have a big affect here, and in my perspective, it would be broadly positive for _most folks _). It’s shocking how much of an improvement DST makes in just the basic liveability - by the weather has generally been subtly improving for a few weeks as well, which completely waters down my argument
