U.S. lost $433,982,548 because of Daylight Savings Time switch | The Sideshow - Yahoo! News
The above number sounds ridiculously insane to me.
An observation
I remember when Michigan was thinking about going to daylight savings time back in 1980's the golf courses were in favor of it but the Drive Inn Theaters were against it.
The Drive Inns said DST would put them out of business and it pretty much did that.
In northern areas the time change keeps kids from standing in the dark along a highway waiting for the school bus, that's the only good reason for it I can think of.
Simple fix - start school one hour later. Problem solved.
That could conflict with working parents schedule that don't want to be gone as their kid waits for the bus.
Not buying that as the most reasonable excuse.
School starting an hour later and ending an hour later would put most kids in school at roughly the same times as parents are at work.
It'd actually blend the two schedules together better. In more cases than not is my guess.
the change to DST costs lots of loss work, fatalities, traffic accidents etc
its an obsolete idea that should be eliminated. we don't need people working in "victory gardens" after they return home from building tanks and machine guns and fighter planes
Which is why we should just leave the clocks where they are right at this very moment and never change them back.
Leave the "usable daylight" at the end of the day and leave the darkness at the beginning of the day.
Leave the time alone. You get no more daylight with one or the other. Since different people work at different time it makes no sense to say people get an extra hour of daylight in the evening to do things. People who work midnights or afternoons do not benefit. So leave the friggin time alone, I hate it! :Nuff said! :soap

People who work afternoons or midnight tend to be criminals and other societal outcasts. The good guys work 9 to 5 and need that extra hour of day;light in order to maintain.

Tell that to all the doctors and nurses who work those hours along with all the staff that works with them also. Tell that to all the waitress' and cooks, bartenders, janitors, truck drivers, cabbies, and paramedics too. I hope it was just a bit of whimsy on your part.
I thought the presence of Vampire Cat might give you the idea that a bit of humor was involved.
Well, I thought as much, but then sometimes things fly over my head.............:Oopsie
