I've never understood why changing the time is a problem. People live their lives based on when the sun is up. Changing the time twice a year reflects that. If we standardize on the same time year-round most businesses and schools will simply alter their business hours to be open when the sun is up. They will choose to be open 8-4 during part of the year, 9-5 the rest of the year. That seems far more confusing than what we are doing now.
If they don't, you'll have kids getting to school 2 hours before sunup part of the year and getting home right at sundown part of the year. Most construction jobs need sunlight to work. They already change hours with the seasons to take advantage of that. During summers when it is hot, and the sun is up at 6 AM a lot of companies work 6-2 in order to be out of the afternoon heat.
What we are doing now is only a MINOR inconvenience one day a year. No one complains about the extra hour they get one weekend in the Fall. But losing that 1 hour over one weekend in the Spring is just too much for some people to deal with. What we're doing ain't broke. Why try to fix it.
