We had a vote but it was essentially deliberately ruined from the get go. Instead of yes or no, it was permanent summer time, permanent winter time, or keep daylight savings so the people wanting permanent time split their vote and lost.
Who are the chucklefucks that want it to get dark at 4:30PM for half the year?
Chronobiologists. The people who actually study how time impacts our well being and health.
The American public. Permanent DST was tried once already and winter with DST is way worse than summer with standard time.
Everyone who hates how early they have to get up for work. Standard time lets you sleep longer. (It's hard to think about, but it's true!)
