Yes please keep it at DST. Wish this was done and over with already. The papers were signed years ago so why the hold up still? I already don’t change those clocks you have to change manually in protest. But then I did brake my favorite clock not long ago so that thing was changed permanently. In fact its at a standstill permanently now. 😛 🙃

Actually, now that I'm retired, I go to bed and wake up whenever I feel like it. So the change doesn't affect me.

We voted on it in CA, it passed, and nothing was done.

Sleep experts argue that reverting to year-round Standard Time would be healthier for humans. It aligns more with natural circadian biology & offers more public health & safety benefits.

DST began in 1918 as a WWI wartime measure to conserve fuel.
From 1942-1945, DST went year-round and was dubbed “War Time.”
In 1966, DST was standardized nationwide and revised in 2007 to the clock-change schedule we use now.
DST is not observed in Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam and most of Arizona.

I think this is a GREAT idea, that was appropriate for what we did decades ago, and switching the time twice a year is NOT needed today

Even though I’ll never get that missing hour back, I’m all for ending disruptive clock changes.
