AMA calls for permanent standard time
www.ama-assn.org
At its interim meeting on Monday, the AMA House of Delegates supported ending daylight saving time and moving permanently to standard time.

I hope everyone who wants to be on permanent DST experiences an eternity of the first day of spring forward, never rested again

        OP didn’t back up their assertion with data. They don’t see kids; I do see kids. It’s all anecdotal.

        Quick searching shows a CDC survey from 2017 estimating that a little over 15% of American kids walk to school. More recent data would require more time to find than I have right now, but even if it’s as low as 1 in 10 now, that’s still not nothing.
