end daylight savings time

Created by D.H. on March 16, 2016

Dear Mr. President,

Daylight savings time has been a plague on society for far too long. Numerous studies have shown time and again that the rate of car accidents, depression, homicides, etc. all spike the morning after the time change in both the fall and the spring. This program's merits were dubious in 1918 when President Wilson first introduced it and remain dubious today. While several studies purport that the US saves on energy costs by adopting such a system, this claim is purely farcical in the modern era.

We therefore urge you, Mr. President, to make yet another mark on the world that will stand the test of time: end daylight savings time in the US once and for all.
