    The idea is that businesses like the extra hour because people don’t shop as much after dark.

      Are you trying to say businesses control everything?

      If that was the case we’d say on DST always because businesses could use an extra hour of sunlight again in the winter as well.

        That’s not exactly what I’m saying. People generally don’t like switching between daylight and standard times. Any state could switch to standard time today, but they don’t because retailers want more sales hours. Instead they’re pushing for a change to allow more sales hours year round.

    Also the sun rising at 4:30am during the summer also kinda sucks for your sleep
