Abolish Daylight Savings Time

Created by E.M. on February 05, 2014

Daylight Savings Time is something that should be a thing of the past. I was born and raised in Arizona where we did not observe DST. I have had many conversations with people that have lived in areas that did not observe DST and then moved to an area that did, every time it is the same story, they absolutely despise it.
According to the SleepBetter.org Lost-Hour Economic Index, moving the clock ahead one hour each spring inflicts at least $434 million in total losses on the U.S. economy each year. I for one find the time change twice a year to be something that effects me for several days up to a week.
It's time we did away with this archaic practice and just let our bodies adjust naturally.
