I live in Indiana, where we didn't change time at all until ...was it about 10 years ago? I forget. We were EST year round It was wonderful not to have to deal with DST.

But then we started observing DST and ...glory be, we had sunlight in summer until after 9 pm! That was quite a revelation, and very welcome.

So I'm all for permanent DST. Or putting Indiana in the Central time zone and observing permanent Standard Time.

But that ignores the people on the other side of the Eastern time zone who have a very different experience with when the sun is out.
