I have never really understood why people care so much about the change.

You will just wake up one hour later or earlier twice a year, so what? I do that multiple times a week, twice per year isn't too bad.

You obviously don’t suffer from a sensitive circadian rhythm. To that I’d say, lucky you. But there are plenty of people who do suffer. And by the time they finally get used to the time change, it’s time to change again. It’s vicious and disruptive; to more than just scheduling. It has a direct (negative) impact on physical and mental health.

Fair enough. Personally I and many others in northern Europe (and other places far from the equator) feel depressed in winter due to the highly reduced sunlight so removing DST isn't just as obvious as "people will feel better", because DST at least in theory helps with that.

Edit: lol people are really mad about this 😂

Yeah, Seasonal Affective Disorder is a recognised medical condition and its symptoms get worse the further from the equator you live. Don't know why folks are downvoting you for having it.
