There are roughly 342 million people in the United States. If 30% spent an average time of one minute changing their clocks, that's 102 million minutes of time spent adjusting clocks. That's 1.7 million hours of what I consider wasted time, and wasted money, if the adjuster is being paid. Common sense says such things are stupid, since an easier solution of manipulating when people go to work is to change the arrival time. Of course, that requires common sense, which Congress, bureaucrats, and a substantial amount of citizens are lacking.
I'm a Standard time fan. Daylight Savings is the devil.
ReplyDeleteThe ridiculous winter sunrises near 9:00 am in northern states is a convincing argument for the repeal of any supposed saving of daylight.
DeleteSheer madness. The spawn of brain-dead politicians.
ReplyDeleteAgreed! Get rid of DST!
ReplyDeleteIt's looking like around half want DST, and the other half standard time. I personally prefer standard time, but considering the erroneous whims of others, this madness will continue.
