keep the United States on Daylight Saving Time permanently.

Created by B.I. on October 31, 2013

Daylight saving time (DST) is an antiquated practice that is no longer appropriate for an industrialized nation. Originally enacted during WWI to save energy, DST has been found to cause a decrease in worker productivity, and an increase in suicide, depression, deadly car accidents, heart attacks, and cyber-loafing. The cost of DST could be up to $434 million to $2 billion in the US alone. That's an added up figure from all of the health and lost productivity mentioned above.

While there is no proof that DST actually saves energy, there is ample evidence that it is detrimental to the personal and economic well being of the country. We respectfully ask to move stay on DST permanently.
