@AkaSci not in the US, but as many things are 9-5ish, no matter whether the sun's peak aligns roughly with noon, hence dinners are prepped, house hold energy peak, an hour or three later I guess DST is perhaps a good idea, but apparently having noon and sun peak aligned is beneficial to our health? Waking up with sunlight, not forcing sleep when its still light outside... (In the Netherlands sun peaks in summers around 14:00, so were misaligned anyway)
I think I would prefer a complete reset of what are conventional times, and have a world time, so that 9-5 is no longer a thing (or perhaps in UTCish UK) and life just adjusts more to the sun, to times that make sense locally. And definitely stop changing these clocks twice a year.
