Rather than have it year round, why not just stick with standard time and shift your schedule to later in the day?

Daylight savings time should be kept. Standard time should of course be abolished.

Yeah, this.

Again, rather than moving the clocks forward and leaving them there, why not just change people's working hours to later in the day?

That would be anti-savings time.  To get the same effect without changing clocks, you'd move schedules to be earlier in the day.  But as already pointed out, it generally is the case that people hate mornings, hence the itch to move daylight hours from morning to afternoon.

Sorry, yes, I meant an hour earlier in the day.

But I don't get "people hate mornings", because these two options are equivalent:

1) Keep standard time year round, but have everyone shift their schedules one hour earlier.
2) Have daylight time year round, but have everyone work at the same time they do now.

Those are exactly the same re: the actual hours people are awake, except that what you call "9am" in one case is called "10am" in another case, and so on.  The one difference is that in the standard time option, there's an actual astronomical correspondence to the clock (the Sun transiting at about noon).  So why mess with that?
