Daylight savings time changes have become more of an inconvenience that a help in modern times. It screws up our schedules and have none of the supposed benefits.

- It doesn't save energy: https://opencrs.com/document/RS22284/
- It doesn't reduce traffic accidents: https://opencrs.com/document/RS22284/
- Suicide rates go up (which is weird, but apparently happens): http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1479-8425.2007.00331.x/abst...
- It costs money: http://variety.com/2007/scene/news/daylight-saving-dock-ratings-1117961488/

So why should we bother doing it? Let's get rid of this annoyance that hurts rather than helps.
