I feel like I’m in such a minority of people who think DST is great.
No. I don’t like spring forward, but fall back gets me a nice boost as suddenly the sun comes up an 8 am rather than 9.
It’s winter. The sun is going to set at either four or five (where I live, it’s certainly worse other places and better others). You’re not getting daylight after work. It’s winter.
It’s about the change being important.
If we stay on a single “time” (say standard work day starts at 4 hours before solar noon), we’ll drift the work time to start/end the work day at some appropriate time.
The issue is that what that time is that most socially useful changes greatly over the year unless you live close to the equator.
I don’t know where you work, but I go in at 8:00 EST. Every day. If we didn’t change the clocks, I’d still be going in at 8:00 EST.
