      If the list is so long, then it should be easy to list one thing that is different today that would make people not want DST.

      I don’t need a list. Just one example.

        Apart from nearly 2/3 of Americans polled wanting permanent DST, the massive technological advancement, interconnectedness of the entire world, and an ever-growing proportion of renewable energy?

          2/3 of Americans polled wanting permanent DST,

          Yes Americans want permanent DST like in 1970.

          massive technological advancement,

          Why specifcally would cause a need for a change in sunrise/sunset?

          There was massive technological change from 1920 to 1970 when it was given up for 2 years before it was changed back.

          ever-growing proportion of renewable energy?

          The current shift to solar would mean an even greater need to synchronize energy use with sunlight.

            You’re ignoring the fact that technological advancement is exponential, not linear; world interconnectedness; energy storage; and other renewable energy sources such as geothermal, hydro, and wind.

              technological advancement is exponential

              But what specifically about the technology means you want the sunrise time to be different?

              s geothermal, hydro, and wind.

              None of those are a currently a significant percentage of energy usage. Nor do they have relation to sunrise/sunset that would require a change.
