I'd rather it be how it is in the spring rather than winter. When you get home there's at least a bit more time in the day to enjoy the sun.

If you live, vaguely, in the north (of the 45th parallel) you get that change either way thanks to the tilt of the earth.

I'd rather have the sunset start at 8PM and go over the horizon at 9PM (without DST) in the summer, than the current ends at 10PM in the summer. https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/usa/seattle

Now somewhere like Miami, FL https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/usa/miami with DST has a longest day of about 6AM to 8:40PM (civil twilight start / end), which without DST goes to 5AM and 7:40PM.

Just stopping the change at all would be a good start.

After that I suspect most people will figure out how to adjust their business / working hours to get the sun when they want.

For large parts of the US it’s probably dark by 4:30 so no, not really. I’m not in the US by the way.

Here's a map of the earliest sunset time: https://weather.com/science/weather-explainers/news/2018-12-... . There are parts of the US which have sunsets before 4:30, including some major population centers, but I don't know if I'd call them "large parts".

that map shows most major cities in North America have the sun set before 5PM (traditional work end time). New York, DC, Los Angeles, San Fransisco, Chicago.

New York, Boston, and Chicago all set before 4:30, a minimum of 10% of the population just there.

Right. Most people have sunset before 5 (there's not that much blue on the map), but not before 4:30.
