24. It hurts businesses, mostly the construction industry who have to stop working at around 04:00pm

because of it. It hurts public sport parks who many do not provide lights on their Tennis, Pickleball, Basketball courts. It hurts the Golf industry, by 04:00pm you cannot see the ball anymore, etc., etc.

It serves no purpose. I don't agree that any changes should occur, it should be daylight saving time (DST), we want to go back from work to our homes with still some daylight.

I do understand that Standard Time seems to be better for people, but we are adaptable, I personally rather have DST, be able to get out of work and do some sports, and being able to do so because I still have sun light.

I believe the problem with health is the change, going back and forth every year, but if left at DST, we will all adapt, it will stop being a concern.
