Perma DST would mean really dark mornings in the winter, and the lack of sunlight in the morning has major health impacts, especially for teens.
Lack of sunlight in the afternoon also has a major health impact, especially for children. A sunset during winter solstice at 4PM would turn into 5PM, allowing them to have one more hour of daylight that is not spent indoors in a school building anyway.
Its already dark when I go to work and dark when I come home in the winter. I wouldn't notice if we were on DST during the winter. I don't care if America/Chicago ends up permanently at UTC-5 or UTC-6, just stop the twice a year shift.
