The problem is that there are three options:
1) Permanent DST
2) Permanent Standard Time
3) Status Quo
And the problem is that, at least based on what I've gathered anecdotally from speaking to people and from which side the media pushes, preferences are usually 1-2-3, followed by 2-1-3, followed by 2-3-1, with anyone who prefers the status quo in dead last.
Personally I prefer standard time to DST as well, but we don't really have any power to make that decision.
- sschueller 5y agoWhat about a 30 min shift? There are already time zone that are shifted by 30min.
- HideousKojima 5y agoI'm guessing that would be crazy unpopular (for Americans at least) but I'm not sure. I actually had a 30 minute shifted timezone bite me last week, I ended up being 30 minutes late to a conference call with our team in Mumbai
- DangitBobby 5y agoSeems like it would make much more sense for locales to add their own timezones then to try to globally split the difference.
- tempestn 5y agoI must be a weirdo with my 1-3-2 preference then! I hate the time change, but I'd hate to give up evening sunlight even more.
- colinmhayes 5y agoI could not stand a permanent standard time. The sun would rise at 4:15 in the summer. The sun already rises way to early in the summer, making it even earlier would be unimaginable.
