It's not a matter of what time it should be all over the planet. It's a matter of correctly zoning the time for each location. When it is the same time in Indianna as it is in Maine, and there is about a 2 hours difference in daylight hours between the 2 we have a gerrymandering problem with the clock. But if all the change is bout sticking with the same zoning but the best time for all, then I think year round daylight time will work best for most.

[@elirodriguez0]

It may seem that way initially but in the winter daylight savings becomes more of a problem. The sun will rise later relative to the clock, and the days will still be short anyway because of the tilt away from the sun during those months.

[@HollyDutton-wz8fe]

We already know what happens when daylight saving time occurs during winter. In the early 1970s, daylight saving time was extended to winter. It soon became obvious that winter was not a season suitable for daylight saving time, and was ended in 1975. A friend from Seattle told me that year-long daylight saving time would mean that winter sunrise in Seattle would not occur until just before 9am.

[@RoadRunner592]

Easy solution. Businesses could adopt "summer hours" between May and early September. So, if business hours are usually 9-5, they could adjust them to be 8-4. People already naturally wake up earlier in the summer months due to the longer days. That would be better than messing with the clocks.
