Timezones are an international standard.

UTC offsets are an international standard. The specific UTC offset to adopt in any particular geographic area is by no means an international standard. That decision is made at a relatively low level of government.

Or we could just stop trying to fuck with it and leave it on standard time.

Clearly, you and I don't want to be in the same time zone. Let's dump the "Standard Time" and "DST" names. They are really just confusing the issue.

Eastern Standard Time is currently UTC-5. What state are you in, and what UTC offset do you want to permanently use?

I am in easterm Ohio, and I want to be permanently on UTC-4.

I think Maine and much of New England would choose to be on permanent UTC-3, so sunset is never before 4PM.

I think Michigan would probably choose permanent UTC-5, so sunrise is never after 8AM.

A youth justice system is for dealing with kids and teens who shoplift, or break noise ordinances, or run away from home, or abuse illicit substances, or any number of "boundary exploring" behaviors.

A youth justice system is not the appropriate venue for dealing with "kids" so lacking in moral fiber as to deliberately and maliciously kill another person.

The tolerance we have for "youthful indiscretion" does not and should not extend to this degree of violence. A youth justice system is not an appropriate venue for those determined to be fundamentally irredeemable.

Sunset in Eastport ME is as early as 3:45PM EST. Which is fucking absurd.

You must live on the western edge of your timezone.

Holding that opinion, I am reasonably sure you do not live on the eastern edge of your time zone. Being that militant about it, I reasonably believe you live all the way on the western edge.

That being the case, there's an easier solution. Just redraw the timezone boundaries so your state is just west of the boundary instead of just east, which leaves you on "standard time" in your current timezone, which is "daylight time" to your west.

There is no formal requirement for your state to stay within its current timezone.

If we go to permanent DST, you can petition for your state to switch to the next timezone to the west, which would give you the same time as permanent standard time in your current timezone. Detroit, for example, is on the western edge of ET. Sunrise in winter for them would be as late as 9AM, which is ridiculous. But, if Michigan shifts to CT instead of ET, sunrise goes to 8AM, and everyone is happy.

Move yourself from EDT to CDT, which is the same as EST. Or move from CDT to MDT/CST. Or MDT to PDT/MST. Or PDT to AKDT/PST.

If you don't want to drive home with your the sun in your eyes, take a job to the east of your home.

Where do you live within your timezone?

I think your sentiment comes from people living on the western side of their time zone, where sunrise and sunset is an hour later than on the eastern end. On the western edge of the timezone (Detroit, for example, on the west end of the Eastern timezone), sunrise in winter could be as late as 9AM.

On the eastern end of a timezone, sunset can be as early as 3:45PM. As early as you want your sunlight, I think we can agree that a sunset before 4PM is ridiculously absurd.

If you are, indeed, on the western edge of the timezone as I think, we could adopt DST, and move you to the next zone to the west, which would put you on the same time as standard time in your current zone. You win, we win, everyone wins.

Alternatively, we could adopt Standard Time, and move people on the eastern edge to the next time zone to the east, which would put them on the same time zone as DST in their current time zone. Again, you win, we win, everyone wins.

Are you on the western edge of your timezone, or at least in the western half?

With permanent DST the latest sunrise in Detroit would be 0900.

The entire nation doesn't need to be following year round the schedule that Detroit school kids need from November to January.

The better solution for this little problem is to go ahead and shift the entire country to permanent DST, and move Detroit from the Eastern time zone to the Central time zone. Latest sunrise in Detroit is now 8AM. Your complaint is resolved, without either of us being forced to switch our clocks twice a year.

1% tax on all registered securities, payable in shares of those securities. First $10,000,000 owned by a natural person is exempted.

All securities collected in tax are resold by IRS liquidators in small lots over time, constituting no more than 1% of total traded volume of each security.

I want Trump to have a stroke while taking a dump, collapse, and ultimately drown on toilet water and his own, bloody excrement.

Reviews won't change anything in the US until we eliminate "tipped minimum wage", and raise regular minimum wage to something that would allow a minimum wage worker to conceivably reach the poverty line.

More than both American continents. North America is 595 million. South America is 430 million. You're short about 275 million.
