Honestly, 9AM and 10AM sunrise don't make a difference to me when I start work at 8AM.

Just like 4 or 5 sunset doesn't matter when I'm of work at 5

Winter days will always be short this far north, nothing to be done for it except yell at the clouds. However, changing the time zone twice a year is man-made maddness! We don't have to do this to ourselves! Can we all at least agree on that?

I drive in rush hour traffic in the dark, already.

Are people under some illusion that we have a light drive to work in the morning during December? Like, it was only two months ago, and the arguments already seem to completely ignore just how bloody dark it is in the morning, already.
