    In June on dst sunset is after 9:30pm. I don’t need it to be light at 10:00, it’s frankly annoying. I actually enjoy it being light when I drive to work in the morning.

    The fact is, the US tried permanent dst in the 70s and everyone hated it. It’s why we took it back

      I would rather it light at 10pm than 3:30am.

      I enjoy having light in the morning. But I enjoy light in the evening MORE.

      And I have discussed the 70s event elsewhere in this post. It was horribly implemented (changing clocks in both October and then in January) and even then some people liked it. It certainly wasn’t “everyone.”
