Because it's easier to change the time than to change business and school hours.

... What? None of that would change if we didn't fuck up our clocks twice a year

[–] Serinus 1 points 3 days ago

I think there's a misunderstanding here. The point is that we move our clocks forward one more time in spring for Daylight Savings Time, and then we never change them again.

The difference between "ending" DST and making DST permanent is either keeping 4:30pm sunsets in winter or having the mornings be dark in the winter. Both are ways we stop changing our clocks.

Personally, I prefer the later sunset.
