Daylight Savings Time (DST) became popular in the 1970s with the intent of conserving energy; however, the actual energy savings are not significant compared to the social and economic impact. DST adversely impacts interstate commerce because not all counties of all states observe DST equally. DST adversely impacts the ability of overnight service providers to keep accurate records during the autumn time change. For example the clock of a hospital's electronic medical record system is set back an hour at 2AM to accommodate Fall time change, meaning two series of events will both be documented as occurring between 1-2AM on that day.
Ultimately, the public simply does not perceive a significant benefit from this outdated system, and we ask to end it.
