DST is not a time zone. DST is "daylight savings time", the process of
changing the clocks twice a year. "Abolish DST" means getting rid of
that process.

Many of us, myself included, prefer UTC-4 to UTC-5 for Boston because it
makes both dawn *AND DUSK* later in the day according to wall clock
time.

Calling me a bully for that is not appreciated and I ask you to keep
your insults to yourself, thank you very much.
