Why do we keep DST? Why not go back to standard time permanently?

I don't care which, just pick one - standard, DST, or a 30 minute shift (permanent to split the difference). Just pick one.

It's a stupid idea to begin with. We are no longer an agrarian society and we have electric lights. If it's that big of a problem for you, just get up earlier.

One of the reasons to switch back to standard time is so that little grade school kids are not going to school in the dark. If you stay on daylight savings time all year, kids are walking to school buses, walking to schools in the dark in the morning during Winter.
If anything, stay on standard time permanently, but then people hate it that in the summer time, the sun is rising at 4am.
I don't think anything will get passed. Can't have little kids wandering around in the dark in the morning trying to find their bus stop.....and too easy for child predators to abscond with little kids under the cover of darkness....and as we know, child abduction, is a huge problem in this country.

Farmers don't punch a clock, they work when there is work needing to be done and stop when it's finished, it doesn't matter if the clock says 6am or 3am.
DST was introduced as a wartime measure to save fuel and kept for the benefit of factories.

Breaking News - Dems now love Daylight Savings. Criticize Trump for wasting daylight instead of saving it.
