So far, it's some cross-boarder commuters and the Florida PTA.

What if we just get rid of it in the Spring but keep it in the Fall? That could get interesting when noon is in the middle of the night in 12 years.

Just get rid of this BS. It can be done, Russia did it years ago and they still exist.

I don't think there are many valid reasons to keep it. Society changed from following the sun many decades back. People expect to be able to go out and shop or the movies or other entertainments/pursuits until pretty late and simply changing the clock does not change what they do. That energy will still be expended no matter what. Saying that we get an extra hour somehow is false science. You get what you get because we're tilted and that's how we orbit.

Indeed. Don't mess with the clock for people's convenience; badger your employer for different office hours.
