This coming Sunday, Daylight Savings Time ends. Please, let’s put a stake in its heart. Let’s kill this thing before it disrupts our lives again in the Spring.
It has been proven that the change to DST disrupts our natural bodily rhythms.It disrupts our society twice a year; nobody knows where to be when for a few days after the change. In our home alone there are at least fifteen clocks or devices that need to be changed manually. Really, I have better things to do.
And you know what? DST does no one any good at all! It certainly doesn’t”save time” because there are still twenty-four hours in a day. It doesn’t save daylight, the tilt of the earth stays the same. It doesn’t save energy. In fact just today I read a report that the opposite is true. We may not turn on the lights as early in the evening during DST, but we crank up the heat on those cold dark mornings.
In short, DST is an antiquated, useless, harmful, and stupid regulation. Rise up people! Let’s make ending DST the issue that unites all Americans! Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, Socialists, make your voices heard in Washington.
I beg you.
