Ever since the New Deal, Daylight Savings Time has been a fix looking for a problem: any advantage claimed more than offset by excellent arguments against it. With each spring solstice, it has robbed Americans of their early morning daylight and the late afternoon equivalent six months later.
It is a bi-yearly waste of time, effort and accuracy, as every clock in the nation must be reset by someone. It places an additional burden on the already inadequate sleep cycle of the average American. Its elimination would help demonstrate government’s willingness to correct its errors and perhaps inspire that vital trait in matters of greater importance.
Any downside would be trivial compared to the mass of citizens who could breathe more freely in the untampered flow of time.
