More directly, what advantage does "permanent DST" offer over simply getting up an hour earlier, getting off work an hour earlier, and enjoying more time in the evenings? You don't need the clocks to change for that.
I think the point is that people on a strict schedule, like teachers and industry workers stuck in front of the assembly line, also will be able to suffer the dubious benefit of the change. /MF
