Why is the U.S. still switching their clocks by an hour twice a year?
This is not a farming society (anymore). This outdated practice just
causes many problems with computers and also with people.
It's painful to have to wake up an hour earlier just so that at
bedtime the kids can't go to sleep because there is full sunlight
coming in through the windows.
Most people are in an office or at school most of the day so we'll be
using artificial light regardless of the clock. For those who work
outside in the northern hemisphere, they're getting longer days
already in the summer without having to change the clock.
So, really nobody wins - Daylight Savings Time should be abolished!
Especially "Spring forward" ... we can do one more "Fall back" to get
an extra hour of sleep and then leave the clocks alone. Is there a
political group or grassroots organization I can join or send money to
get this change in the Constitution?
