Right and now that sunrise will change to 7:30/8:30 am if you keep it DST year round. After 9 am in Michigan.

Listen, say what you want. It was tried in the early 70s and everyone hated it so much it didn’t even last 1 year. That will happen again

It’s much better to have the sun rise at 4 am and set at 8 pm in summer than to have the sun rise at 8:30 am and set at 5:30 pm in Winter.

Violent?

Move south towards the equator and you’ll get 6 am sunrise / 6pm sunset year round. Europe regularly gets 4 am sunrises in summer months in northern regions. Scotland. Scandinavia. Etc.

There are lots of studies and expert opinion that all support stopping the change. But only if it stays in standard time.
