It's because Old Daylight Savings Time Money have elite lobbyists that keep the legislature from getting rid of their cash cow.

These guys have had government officials in their pockets as far back as the original corrupt politician- Ben Franklin.

The rest of your life doesn’t adjust with it, though. Work still starts at the same time and ends at the same time. Your kids go to and leave from school at the same times. So while you may have equal amounts of daylight, it’s not equal in practice unless you have zero obligations and can restructure your life around the difference.

For me it’s really just switching back and forth. It’s an abrupt change to your internal clock. I’m all for avoiding it, and think DST makes more sense as regular time would have the sun coming up before 6am in the summer. But would be fine with sticking to either.

Then maybe it makes more sense to focus on adjusting things in life than fu(king with our biological clocks twice a year. As stated previously, the amount of sun doesn't actually change...just the clock.

So, instead, all schools and businesses in the nation should adjust their schedule twice a year? That would be far more disruptive.

It's because of the children!!! School Bus stops in the morning are not lighted. Don't you ever worry about the children!?
