I live both north and east of NYC, I want the later sunlight in summer and winter. The first hour of light is wasted on me and many others. Farmers maybe not, but around here that’s pretty much over by late October anyway.
I’ve also lived at the most extreme opposite end of the Eastern time zone in Michigan, and like the late evening sunlight even more!
Daylight savings time sole objective is to move 1 hour of sunlight in the morning to the evening.
I’m not sure how it’s supposed to help farmers unless they want to sleep in and work an extra hour into the evening. I think that it helping farmers is more of a myth.
So much of DST is misunderstood
Most people I have heard hate daylight savings time because “the sun sets so early in the winter”
Yet that’s the outcome of not staying on permanent DST. Winter is standard time.
Others hate the switch. Once again it’s because we don’t stay permanently on one.
I’m with you though, I enjoy the extra hour of sunlight in the evening.
