what i don’t get is why the focus is on permanent DST, i thought permanent standard time would be better

    So much of the country is dark at 5pm on standard time. With the work day centered around 9-5, having some daylight at the end of the day would be nice. I always thought the solution would be making the work day center on 8-4, but work til the sun goes down has been engrained in our society for a long time.

    Permanent standard time is objectively better, if anyone bothered to listen to the experts the opinion is clear. Last time we tried permanent dst it didn't last through the first winter, because people hated it

    Plus it's been studied, having groggy people driving to work in the dark causes a lot more accidents than driving home in the dark

    I'd rather have no DST than permanent DST, but I think permanent would be better than what we have now.

    How will Arizona work, though? Given that they don't do DST now, I'm guessing they'll stay as they are. And they'll just be the odd ones out in the MST timezone. (Like they already are for part of the year, only they'll be off by an hour from other MST timezone states all year moving forward. Unless/until they change things, of course.)
