And if we stayed on summer time, then mid-winter wouldn't get light until about 8:30am.
I suppose we'd just used to whatever it turned out to be.
Just pick one, honestly, it doesn't matter. In Minneapolis, winter days are so short, you'll miss sunshine while you're in the office (sunrise 8:00 and set at 4:30). In the summer sunrise is before 5:30 and doesn't set until after 9:00. Arizona and Hawaii don't bother changing the clocks. (like it matters in Hawaii anyway... )
Here is a great explanation (some foul language) How is this still a thing?
