I read a study once but cannot remember it.

It posited that lunch time should be half way through the daylight hours and the further away it was from this then the more effect it had on either mental or physical health (I don't remember in it's entirety.)

I'm in the minority I guess, but I like daylight savings time. I like my waking hours to be in daylight. I typically wake up with the sun and I do stuff outside.

My biggest gripe about it is that my job involves working with people in Europe, India, and other places around the globe, and it seems like they all start & stop daylight savings at different times. So for like two weeks the time difference between me & our Berlin office changes by one hour. It wouldn’t be as big a deal if every country implemented it consistently…

I couldn't agree more. I interact with a friend in the UK every Monday morning and THAT is a PITA. I can also understand why people don't like it. I'm all for standardization and I do wish they would do something worldwide. This is one of the reasons I don't think the coronavirus was a hoax. The world can't even agree on something as fundamental as what time it is, why the hell would they agree to make themselves look bad by admitting a bunch of their people died. Anyway, if eliminating daylight savings time is the worst thing Trump does, I'd be OK with that.

Getting rid of daylight savings and staying on permanent standard would be great. When it becomes daylight savings time during the colder months it really does suck ad it gets darker earlier. Thus, I feel there is a lot less I want to do in the evenings. I like the slightly darker mornings and brighter evenings of standard.

Choosing one or the other would be good, though I feel like permanent standard over permanent savings still is a bit better.

Regardless, time change is annoying.
