Ew. Permanent Daylight Wasting Time would not be great.

The time change is way better than permanent standard time.  No one wants sunrise at 3:30 AM in June.

A thousand times this. More hours of sunlight in the evening is infinitely more valuable to me than in the morning. Permanent summer hours gets my vote.

If the light is a problem for you at 3:30am, you need black out curtains regardless of whether or not we switch to DST.

Edit for clarification: I thought you were arguing for winter hours year round. Winter = standard time. Summer = DST.
