actually this would be fine. i mean you only have two options when getting rid of the time change and this is the one which causes way less energy expenditure so this is the only one you'd pick (i'm assuming you don't enjoy changing clocks twice a year)

what's the case for removing the DST practice? it serves a purpose right now (more hours of daylight during business hours). the alternative is for businesses to seasonally adjust their operating hours, which is messier than adjusting the clocks twice a year.

less relevant at lower latitudes of course

the case for no longer switching is fairly intuitive. the case for picking the Daylight one for the new standard rather than permanently going back and staying in the Standard one is energy expenditure. (although maybe it's not universal? https://www.marketwatch.com/story/daylight-saving-time-isnt-worth-the-energy-2017-11-02 …)

trading off energy cost savings (mostly lighting costs in the winter) against social coordination cost savings. not sure which one wins or ought to win. I'm assuming at this point we'd just accept that business hours are fixed regardless of daylight.

well nobody says "meet at the bar at sundown" I think. everything social is time-based anyway pretty much?

yeah. I dunno, maybe China has the right idea putting everything on Beijing time. I'm already use to thinking in UTC for everything anyway.
