DST had good reasoning at the time. It doesn't anymore.
The US tried no dst back in 1970. After 2 years people wanted it back.
They did permanent DST instead of no DST (permanent standard time), so they had dark mornings in winter.
Is it still 1970 today?
What is so different today that people wouldn't change their mind again about DST?
It's 54 years later. Are you expecting a full list or something?
So because you read the news on your phone instead of the newspaper somehow everything is different with the sunrise?
You're right. The only thing that has changed is that newspapers are smaller.
If the list is so long, then it should be easy to list one thing that is different today that would make people not want DST.
I don't need a list. Just one example.
Apart from nearly 2/3 of Americans polled wanting permanent DST, the massive technological advancement, interconnectedness of the entire world, and an ever-growing proportion of renewable energy?
2/3 of Americans polled wanting permanent DST,
Yes Americans want permanent DST like in 1970.
massive technological advancement,
Why specifcally would cause a need for a change in sunrise/sunset?
There was massive technological change from 1920 to 1970 when it was given up for 2 years before it was changed back.
ever-growing proportion of renewable energy?
The current shift to solar would mean an even greater need to synchronize energy use with sunlight.
