In my first poll https://www.sawdustzone.org/forum/di...t-savings-poll
there was a clear preference to ending time changes. I think this may also be reflected in the growing awareness that time change has societal effects on our well being that impacts us around that time when we make the change. For an example there is a measurable increase in heart attacks (24%) in the week following the time changes, Productivity declines and accidents increase during the week after a time change.
Presuming that we do away with time change altogether, then this poll asks whether or not we should be on the standard time permanently or on daylight savings time permanently.
Supposed advantages of permanent DST vs std time

Supposed advantages of permanent DST vs std time
- safer traffic; darkness in evening traffic is more deadly than morning darkness for several reasons
- energy savings (although that is arguable)
- increased daylight hours later is good for business and recreation
- decreased crime with fewer evening dark hours. Apparently criminals don't like to be up early.
