California voters actually passed a referendum to move to year round DST, but federal law only allows year round standard time. I think most people prefer the idea of year round DST.

Could always move from Pacific Daylight Time to Mountain Standard Time.

States can't unilaterally decide that either. Federal law[1] determines which state is in Pacific/Mountain/etc. zones.

Could also change working hours, same thing. Why is it even a debate?
