I hope everyone who wants to be on permanent DST experiences an eternity of the first day of spring forward, never rested again

    Who makes money off of Daylight Savings Time?

    I don’t know, but I know someone is making a fortune off of it somehow and I want to know who. It’s the only explanation

      The real question is, how can the rich make money off of changing this? As soon as someone figures that out, I’m sure it will change.

    God yes. I don’t even care which side of DST we land on. As long as we stop changing the damn clock.

    There’s a lot of things that I don’t like about Arizona but the abolishment of moving to and from DST has been such a great thing to have.

    It’s pretty obvious the American government doesn’t care about its citizens health. Sick citizens = more shareholder profits for their scam corporations

      It screws corporations as well, anyone that has a database or deals with time in any way. I’d call it a huge hazard technilogically to willy nilly change the time for no reason.

        We have been changing the time for 70+ years. Nothing about it is Willy nilly. There is a reason. The reason may invalid at this point.

        This same bullshit could be said about jetlag simply moving to a different time zone has worse effects than a single hour shift, yet many people do it 10s if not hundreds of times a year.

        It’s so stupid to argue about this whole thing from a health perspective and using that as if its some kind of disease.

        So stupid

    Fuck that. Keep daylight savings time and end standard time. I like my daylight when I can actually use it; after work.

    Well that was a non article.

    Committing to standard time has health benefits and allows us to end the biannual tug of war between our biological and alarm clocks,” said AMA Trustee Alexander Ding, M.D., M.A, MBA.

    So are they saying committing to standard time, or simply committing to a single time?

    If they are saying Standard is better that Daylight Savings, then they are complete morons. And it isnt because I like one over the other. The fact is IT DOESNT FUCKING MATTER. Just pick one.

    Daylight is constantly changing, depending on what latitude you are in. In the northern hemisphere millions of people will gain over an hour of daylight this month alone. Your rhythms are effected by people fucking with the clock, and that is it.

      The good old days, when the fire hose would occasionally turn off and we could breathe and participate in folksy traditions like complaining about the clocks.

    I want us to go in the direction Canada is going with that. It should be the same time in Washington and Oregon that it is in BC

      Every time the time switches there’s a spike in car accidents, heart attacks, etc. Also, time should just be constant imo, arbitrarily shifting it an hour twice a year seems stupid to me.

      Everybody loses an hour of sleep in the spring which results in a statistical spike in hospital admittance for heart problems and car accidents.
