Personally, while I don't like flip-flopping back & forth, I prefer when the sun sets later on the clock rather than earlier. I'd be ok with just a "spring forward" from which we never go back,
It is actually called Daylight Saving Time without the “s” on Saving….
I agree with Kurt, keep it at Daylight Saving Time throughout the year… Congress was oh so close to I believe the other house voting on it but then they had to go to break… what a joke, something as simple as this and they can’t even get that done!!!
As evidenced by the few comments, most would opt for permanent DST. Legislators are pushing this as well. What’s wrong with real time? You know, when the sun is at its zenith, that’s noon. The clock is adjusted accordingly.
I lived in Hawaii for 9 years and it was nice not going through adjusting the clock twice a year. I also spent a lot of time at sea, and although there’s no DST, we still had to adjust the clock as we transited through time zones. I actually missed my birthday one year as we crossed the international date line at midnight on the night before my birthday, advancing the clocks 24 hours, skipping over my birthday. Can I claim I’m a year younger?
If they ever decide to go to permanent DST, I’ll rebel, because where I live now on DST the sun doesn’t go down until after 9:30pm and at 10 it’s still light.
So much of this depends on which end of the time zone you're on and the climate.
Take the northeast and east coast. Because of business and NYC, New England gets stuck on Eastern time with 4pm winter sunsets (who do they think they are, Canada??), when realistically it should be Atlantic time like New Brunswick. Meanwhile, Buffalo sees the sun set on golfers at 10pm sometimes and further west still it's even crazier. Then down south as you near the equator the days even out. You probably don't need daylight late on the hot, sticky summer days, but you might love more of it in the winter months instead.
So I agree to a point but it's very geography and climate dependent. However due to a one size fits none business culture, good luck!
I think it was first used to limit burning of candles, may be the first energy efficient move . . . Or Carbon “tax” on our nerves. I believe we are better off without any such adjustments. The brain and body need to sync up with the seasons . . .

Oh! I've been mis-naming it all these years!
Yet they get MUCH more complex things done. We'll need to form a Timekeeping Industrial Complex.

I hate the stupidity of Daylight savings time
As you can see, I too hate Daylight Blah Blah Time with a hot hot hate.

I was about to point out that I lived in AZ for quite a while and they don't observe daylight savings time there. But you beat me to it. ;)

Just call it Eastern time, or Pacific time; let the 'permanent standard' become quickly redundant and unnecessary.
Your meme expresses it exactly, stay at DST!!! ❤️
