The original purpose of "Springing Forward" is no longer needed (energy conservation). There is no longer a valid reason not to stay on Natural time (like Arizona and Hawaii).

Changing time is inconvenient and annoying, but beyond that, there are serious ramifications of changing time. The Monday after springing forward there are more car wrecks than any other day. In addition, heart attacks increase by 5-10% in the following week after springing forward.

We all know more daylight is nicer, but changing the clock is not necessary; sunlight hours lengthen naturally and gradually on their own in the Spring/Summer just as they shorten in the Winter/Fall. This natural and gradual change has no, significant or insignificant, negative ramifications.
