For the few workers and/or professions that it might help, they should just modify their schedules accordingly and leave the rest of us alone.

My comment was based on the fact that here in the beautiful Sandwich Islands we don't have Hawaii Daylight Time (HDT), but instead observer Hawaii Standard Time (HST) year around. And we like it that way!
The only trouble is that those of us who do business with folks in the Continental US (CONUS), the time zone offset changes each spring and fall, leading to some confusion for those who are unaware of the barbaric practice that you guys have.
One saving grace is that much of my CONUS business is with people in Arizona who also practice civilized behavior by eschewing DST.
