I was about to say Florida already dropped DST right after I left, but nope they didn’t (Just said they would if congress would???).
States in the south, especially Florida would benefit most from DST. Especially for more touristy and “youth” (<30) areas. (Living in a college town was nice because some businesses would be open to 10pm especially during the longer days.)
I live in the North now, and people/scientists say Standard would be better for health, but honestly, 9-5 jobs/school is still going to be fucked either way.
Either you get an hour of natural light before or after being in a building all day. I’m a night owl so I’d benefit from the DST afternoon hour. My coworker whose a morning gal would benefit from the extra morning hour (likely).
Probably the best solution would be to pick Standard time and force companies to let you come in an hour later/earlier then usual. And let you switch/pick every like 3 months so you can adjust for youself. School requiring busing and scheduling throws a massive wrench in a “good” solution too.
Anyway, we’re likely going to get permenant DST with nothing else. Morning people will complain, people in the middle will support them overall or say nothing, it will be reverted back to switching twice a year, and no one will be happy again.
I don’t get why we don’t try to stagger start and end times for the traffic benefits. But NO, we need every office worker on the same highway at the same time for reasons.

Capitalism is so efficient
