How the sunrise and sunset times would be affected by abolishing daylight saving time in the USA. Would you prefer to keep it or drop it? (files.catbox.moe)

I'm in favor of abolishing it. This graphic doesn't make it super clear but Daylight Saving Time gives millions of people more commutes in the dark per year than if we always used Standard Time. It's a pretty significant difference.

But you commute home in the dark with Standard time in the winter, I find that more dispiriting than dark mornings.

I thought the whole point of daylight savings time was to maximize daylight during working hours.
