It depends where you are in your time zone. For a good chunk of the land in the US, DST is closer to solar time:

But of course a whole lot of the population lives in the part where it's worse.

You got that backward. Everywhere in the red gets worse during DST. In Ohio, the middle of the day occurs at 1pm on EST, and the middle of the day occurs at 2pm on DST.

Growing up in Hawaii, this map makes me irrationally angry

Wait why? Hawaii is on the map. Is it because of how far off Hawaii is when it doesn’t need to be?

That was the point, but on closer inspection, it turns out Oahu is right about where it ought to be, and the pieces sticking out into the next logical time zone are mostly uninhabited. So my anger was in fact irrational.
