This seems like such a simple thing to me, and yet the US just can’t seem to get it done. What are the issues preventing this?

    I live basically on the border on the US side and pray that BC changing will allow WA to change.

    Full DST is better imo. Having light after work/school/the day makes the dark months so much more tolerable. Helps alleviate my SAD partially, personally.

      The problem is that if you’re far enough North, the days are so short that if you work full time, no amount of clock-adjusting will keep you from either going to work or going home in the dark.

        Going to work while the sun comes up, and going home after it has gone down feels a hell of a lot worse than the opposite.

        Literally “working the day away”.

          Yeah given a choice, I’d rather have light after work instead of before. Unfortunately when I lived in Montana, the winter days were so short that I went to work in the dark and came home in the dark. The only light I saw was going outside during lunch break.
