Get rid of it and electricity bills will take a hike to pay for the infrastructure needed in the morning and evening peaks.
God help us when millennials are allowed to make decisions based on tweets. Just because something is popular doesn’t make it an optimum solution.

I understand the justifications for it at the time - the reduction in fuel costs as a temporary wartime measure. The need for those sorts of things has long gone.
We've moved into a world that is more than 9 to 5 and is global, so some adaption needs to be done, no matter the timezone you are in. Changing the clocks is just a brute force approach that solves some problems but creates a lot more.
I'm not a millenial and don't deal with tweets. I've been fighting Daylight Savings for years when it was supposedly popular.
