We'd all like more light in the evening if it came for free, but an hour more light on the evening in the winter means an hour less light in the morning. Depending on where you live, that could mean the sun rising an hour after you get into work or school.

Waking, eating breakfast, and commuting before the sun rises sucks. Making it worse would, well, make it worse.

In the summer we don't have that problem, as even with the time change the sun usually rises before most people do.

People live in places where the sun disappears for most of the day for months. Humans can adjust to just about any schedule. The biggest advantage is our bodies won't have to adjust twice a year for an arbitrary time change. I'm fine with either one being the standard, just stop changing it. I fully support this bill.
