But school would start at the same time regardless. They'd still have to show up at 7:45 AM in the summer and the winter. (And 9-5s would still be 9-5s.)
Year-round summer time does mean more daylight to enjoy after work, which would probably be an economic boon to stores and restaurants if it enhances after work leisure.

- echelon 2y ago> Are you suggesting that the sun is irrelevant to whether someone is a morning person, and only the time on the clock matters? That wasn't my original argument at all, but yes - I'll argue this too. I'm always sleepy in the "mornings" and get my best work done after I've been awake a while. It probably has more to do with metabolic flux than daylight. I've occasionally worked so hard on things that I've had my schedule "wrap around" the clock, yet I still get the most work done in the back half of my day.
