Answer
How would permanent summer time affect farmers and early workers in Mallorca?
People who start work early in Mallorca, especially farmers and some shift workers, would likely begin their day in darker conditions. That can make routines less practical and raise safety concerns before sunrise. For jobs that depend on early light, permanent summer time would be a clear disadvantage.
