End daylight savings time.

Created by B.C. on June 14, 2013

Daylight Savings Time (DST) is no longer necessary and should be eliminated because of the cost to our nation. Findings of a study entitled “Estimating the Economic Loss of Daylight Saving Time for U.S. Metropolitan Statistical Areas” commissioned by the Carpenter Co. shows that DST change can lead to an increase in heart attacks, workplace injuries in the mining and construction sectors, and reduced productivity for people who typically work in offices. A reasonable economic cost was then developed from the data to be $433,982,548.00. The need for DST has been debunked over the years: Farmers work with the sun, not a clock; and energy savings have proven to be nonexistent. DST provides no benefit but great harm and should be abolished.
