end Daylight Savings Time!

Created by D.I. on March 06, 2015

Daylight Savings Time hurts more than it helps...
1. We don't need to conserve candles anymore.
2. It doesn't save any energy, in fact gas consumption increases.
3. Creates a sense of jet-lag in the entire population twice a year for up to a week, for some longer.
4. Causes an increase in traffic accidents - some fatal!
5. Causes a spike in heart attacks - also some fatal!
6. Causes hundreds of deaths per year.
7. Causes an increase in suicides.
8. Lowers our SAT scores compared to countries that don't observe DST.
9. Anyone with kids know how it completely disrupts home life for at least a week twice a year.
10. School teachers know how hard it is to teach the week following DST changes.
