As long as they eliminate the constant inane switching back and forth. Sleep disruption is harmful in many ways and all this practice seems to actually do, old wives' tales about farmers and circumstantial localized benefits aside, is induce it. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5449130/

I'm bipolar and extremely sensitive to "minor" things like changing timezones during travel. The switch between EST and EDT fucks up my sleep for at least a week, usually longer. This is not going to be a good month.

I can't wait for this to be signed into law.

Night owl and average night enjoyer me thinks this was the right choice.

I want more daylight after work to enjoy. I know the counter claim, "but you could start your day earlier".

All I can say is that this change works for me. I love summer nights, having dusk arrive at almost 10 PM. They're the perfect days.

The point of that 'switching back and forth' between standard time and DST is to let the clock approximate a constant time for dawn, which in turn should lead to the most efficient use of daylight. Permanent DST just ensures very dark mornings around the Winter Solstice period - December and January especially, Nov and Feb to a lesser extent - which in turn means more stress (since it's a lot harder to wake up with no natural light) and lots of car accidents as people commute to work. It's a pretty bad idea all around.
