I will never be able to own a home because the cost of a down payment goes up with the market, while my saved money’s value stays constant (goes down with inflation). It is literally impossible for me to save it fast enough, even if I saved $1000, which is half of what I pay in rent, per month.

You may be right, but at the same time, you getting an inheritance makes it allot easier for your kids to get one too some day.

Not in the PNW. Regular time is absolutely abysmal during the winter.

If DST wasn’t a thing, it would still not get dark in the summer time until after 9PM for me. I’d rather stay on permanent DST because winter is absolutely miserable when it’s dark until mid-late morning, dreary, rainy, and overcast all “day”, and then dark again by mid-afternoon.

I live in the PNW, USA. It’s dark when I get to work and when I get home. I’d rather have light at the end of my day. Winter/standard time is terrible.
