Abolishing daylight savings and keeping standard time.

If you’re going to abolish it, this is the way. None of this permanent summertime nonsense.

Yes people think they like summer time because they only use it in the summer. Most people will realize it sucks during winter more than “winter” (read: actual) time sucks in summer.
I want summer time all year. In winter it really doesn't matter if the sun rises at 8am or 9am and if it sets at 4pm or 5pm, it's depressing no matter what. But with winter time in summer, you rob working people of a chance to catch some sunlight in a meaningful intensity after work. It will just make people more depressed.
Dude. You are aware that the length of daylight naturally gets longer in the summer and shorter in the winter right?

Eliminating daylight savings means the sun goes down at 8pm in August, instead of 9pm.

yeah, it's depressing to start working at dark and stop working at dark. What a waste of life.
