How the sunrise and sunset times would be affected by abolishing daylight saving time in the USA. Would you prefer to keep it or drop it?

I thought the whole point of daylight savings time was to maximize daylight during working hours.
It was when farm labor predominated in America, but today's work schedules for the vast majority aren't farmer schedules.
Ok but people were saying with daylight savings they were going to work in the dark. I assume this is only for a short time after it happens because it seems backward otherwise. I have to say I really don't pay much attention to it. It's annoying when it transitions but then I'm used to it. Ultimately I don't really care strongly either way. But if I had a choice, I would prefer to have as much daylight during daytime hours as possible.
