Were in normal time right now and the sun sets at 4:00. You want permanent DST.

Lot of down votes for a fact. Lemmings are wild.

Or employers could just move their work schedules to 8-4 instead of 9-5. That's all that daylight savings is actually doing.

Yeah and they could pay us living wages too, or at least stop firing people then making everyone else take their workload with no extra pay. They wont do any of that though. And a congress that can barely pass a budget wont help us, they'll axe DST and never do anything about it again. Plus if you have kids Im telling you right now the time they start school will not be changing either.

They say they want the sun up sooner in the morning, so they want normal time

They also say they want it to not set on their way home from work, so do they?

"home TO work"

They want the sun up in the morning before they go to work.

on your way home

Read again "on your way home"

Its insanely unclear but this context should let you know what they meant

and i get of work just in time to watch a million deer try to cross the road on my way home

sounds like they want a lighter commute home still.

Sounds like they want the day to last longer all year, solution is to move south
