Give me one 'good' reason we even have daylight savings. It should just be banished completely. Same with time zones, in my opinion (a billion people in China can't be wrong).
I can read a watch.

Good reason: An extra hour of drinking on Halloween night!

FINALLY ABOVE the gnat line

It will be nice to actually be able to see my daughter at the bus stop in the mornings! Otherwise, I don't like it.

I like the extra hour of sleep, but we just lose it in the spring anyway.

How does no time zones work? Would it be the same time everywhere in the country?

DST is a hoot in Alaska. Summer, you have all you need. Winter, there is none. Why try to manage it for us?

Anyone else remember Swatch's internet time? I actually wish that had caught on.

How does no time zones work? Would it be the same time everywhere in the country? yes, it's the same time on the clock everywhere in the country, but a business will have different 'business hours' depending on location.

so whereas it is 'officially' the same time everywhere, technically, it is not.

It'd be just as convoluted as keeping track of a time zone system.
