Apparently DST began in World War I because it was thought to save fuel by
reducing artificial lighting. WWI and WWII are behind us now, so let's stop the foolishness. Somehow once a dumb idea gets started, there is no way to get free of it, particularly if politicians are responsible for the dumb idea.
Think about it: the hour saved in the morning is refunded in the evening, or vice versa.
More unintended consequences from world improvers, it screws up everything from
kids waiting for the school bus in the dark to pets and farm animals feeding times being disrupted.
The grief just begins with resetting the clocks. With DST we are out of sync with other continents and our business days are less productive. Small differences in the amount of sleep we get have large effects on our health, temperament and mental acuity,
Not all states go along with the insanity, Arizona, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands,
Guam and American Samoa do not change their clocks and it works very well for them, thank you very much. Indiana has 14 counties who reset clocks and 77 that do not. Some say don't go along to get along.
With Love and Kindness,
THE HATMAN
