This seems like such a simple thing to me, and yet the US just can’t seem to get it done. What are the issues preventing this?

You brought it up. Just look at the chart. Getting rid of Daylight Savings just makes things worse. With our current system, we get sunrises at a reasonable time and sunsets at a reasonable time. It’s not a positive change.
It seems fine to me. What’s the problem?
almost nobody is up at 4-5 AM, and almost everybody wants to stay out from 7-9 PM in the summer. it’s just worse.
About 8 hours before noon, and about 8 hours after. That’s… as it should be.
So your argument is “Oh, the math is pretty, so we should make our actual daily schedule worse” ???
This has zero impact on our daily schedule except for the numbers we assign to them.
You think losing 2-3 hours of sunlight would make “zero impact”? I don’t.
To take your example:
Without daylight-saving time it’s exactly the same except the numbers: “nobody is up at 5-6 AM and everybody wants to stay out from 8-10 PM in the summer”
why yes, that is the point, more sunlight is better! which is why less sunlight is worse, and we shouldn’t switch to less sunlight. <3
Is that chart hosted anywhere else?
