Sweet! I love that shite. Much more than being dark at 8 am.

From Google AI:

The US government doesn't have a specific annual cost for switching to Daylight Saving Time (DST), but studies have estimated the total economic cost to the nation is substantial, ranging from approximately $430 million to over $2 billion per year. These estimates include costs related to health issues like heart attacks and strokes, decreased productivity, increased workplace and traffic accidents, and higher energy consumption in some areas.

Economic cost: Studies estimate the total annual cost to the U.S. economy to be between $430 million and over $2 billion, though figures vary depending on the factors considered.

Health costs: Increased rates of heart attacks, strokes, and other health issues associated with the time change are a significant part of the cost.

Productivity losses: Sleep deprivation and circadian misalignment resulting from the time change are linked to decreased productivity, with estimates pointing to hundreds of millions of dollars in lost output and increased "cyberloafing".

Accident costs: There is an estimated increase in workplace and traffic accidents in the days following the switch, contributing to the overall economic impact.

Energy costs: Some studies have found DST can lead to an increase in residential energy consumption, resulting in higher electricity bills and costs associated with pollution.

Cotton is a dip shite.

Tom Cotton is a cuck for this.

I suspect a lot of how people feel depends on which side of their timezone the live on. It gets dark here 30 minutes earlier than it does where my family lives in Texas. Dark before 5 vs dark after 5 is a big deal.

No doubt. I live is SE Alabama about a 40 minute drive to the eastern time zone. The people right across the time zone in Georgia hate DST because it gets dark there around 9:15 pm in the summer. I hate standard time because it gets dark here around 4:45 pm in the winter. It sucks.

I did some work in Marianna, Florida years ago. The time change sucks there in the winter.

Yep. Those to western side of a time zone hate DST and those close to the eastern side of a time zone hat standard time. Just imagine living in Alaska. Almost 24 hrs of daylight in the summer and dark during the winter. Would rather have a fork stuck in my eye!!! Maybe that’s why rogertheshrubber is such an arsehole lol.
