Changing our clocks twice a year is associated with increases in highway fatalities and workplace accidents. It's also associated with an increase in heart attacks and strokes. What it doesn't do is reduce energy consumption, which is the reason why it was instituted.
Congress could do away with Daylight Saving Time. Sometimes, I wonder if they don't repeal it because they hate us. Or maybe it's just a power trip. They keep it because they can and there's nothing we can do about it.
Think about that while you're changing your clocks.
