In the past six years, 19 states have made efforts to move to year-round daylight saving time. So what’s in the way?

Exactly, people need to get over the fixation on the number the clock shows.
Yeah, the store should just open when it opens and close when it closes, and if shift B shows up an hour after shift A chooses to go home, so be it!
It’s almost like they could plan or something.
Hmm, planning would require coordination. The shift A team would need to agree to stay until the shift B team expects to arrive. How could we make sure they’re on the same page?
Maybe they could do it based on the sun being at a certain spot in the sky? That might be hard on cloudy days. Maybe we could invent a device that tells us approximately where the sun would be if we could see it. We could call it “cock” like roosters that crow to wake us up…but that might make 12 year olds chuckle so how about we call it a “clock” and then fixate on the number it shows?
(If you were being sarcastic / facetious in your initial post I apologize, but I took your original post as one of the “hurr durr just ignore the clock” posts some people have been making, which completely fail to recognize why we do make ourselves slaves to the clock).
There’s a big difference between “ignore the clock” and “simply adjust your expectations of times by an hour.”
