Government: "Hey people, guess what. Starting today --- and we'll keep changing the date all the time --- you shall all lie to each other about what time it is".
Citizens: "Yes master, we hear and obey".
Is that it? Are people just so stupid that they think changing the clock to a time it ISN'T .... actually forces the freaking SUN to change its schedule??
FFS, if you want more light in your day, just FREAKING GET UP EARLIER. And it need not be an hour; you can get up as earlier, or not, as you like. Strike an agreement with your employer that you'll come in at 7:30 instead of 8. Whatever. But DON'T force it on everybody.
AridZona, to its credit, stiff refuses to kowtow to the thumb of Big Gummint and puts its thumb in the eye of forced time-lying. So does HawaƬi. Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas have bills in their state houses proposing to (finally) give the same finger to the temporal government jackboot. Florida is retardedly leaning backwards on the issue (well it is Florida) and actually proposing to lie to itself about what time it is ALL YEAR. Canada, Mexico and Australia are also split up nationwide.
There's a video at the link above for a quick history of the INSANE TOTALITARIAN WACKOS that have pushed this stupid idea over the last century. They've got about 20% of the world's population to bow down to their stupidity. In the Southern Hemisphere those places that bend over for it are turning their clocks in the opposite direction, whether that's today or whatever date they have designated. Which basically means nobody anywhere knows what time it really is.
Blue (northern hemisphere) and orange (southern) represent places that order time-lying
A number of countries in the light gray have seen the light (heehee) and ditched the silly mindless mendacious practice, among which are Algeria, Argentina, Brazil, Congo, Colombia, Morocco, Namibia and Russia.
Get that? We're behind freaking Namibia in figuring this out.
Russia gets it; we don't.
CONGO gets it; we don't.
Do not mess with Nature. "Noon" is supposed to mean the time when the sun is at its zenith HERE. PERIOD.
STOP THE MADNESS. Stop it now, and stop it again an hour from now. Or an hour ago. Whatever.

>> The impacts of this change, and the paired āfalling backā of the clocks in autumn, run from mild annoyances to potentially severe consequences, including higher risk of heart attacks, fatal car crashes, and harsher judicial sentences. Yet with many business interests siding with the annual observance of daylight saving timeāoften incorrectly called daylight āsavingsā timeāthe pesky time change persists across most of the United States.
āIt drives everybody nuts,ā says Yates, who is a daylight saving time activist and entrepreneur-in-residence at the nonprofit firm CableLabs. Heās been campaigning for change since 2014, when his wife, Kathy Yates, challenged him to turn his grumbles into action.
.... the Uniform Time Act of 1966 .... did exactly as its name implied and imposed a uniformity of time observance across the country, including setting the beginning and end of daylight saving time. Though later amendments have shifted the exact start and stop dates, it is this act that still regulates the time changes today.
... The Uniform Time Act allows states to opt out of observing daylight saving timeāand remain on standard timeāwithout any federal say so, and some states and U.S. territories have long chosen this option. Today, most of Arizona (except the Navajo Nation), Hawaii, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, and the U.S. Virgin Islands don't change their clocks.
This year, dozens of states have bills proposing changes to daylight saving, and a scattering of states, including Oklahoma, Texas, and Kansas have bills in progress to opt out of the shift entirely. This option would require the state to stay on standard time year round. But that's often met by opposition, because [WATCH THIS NOW] this would mean the sun would rise and set an hour earlier than citizens are used to for most of the year. << -- Tired of DST? These Places are Trying to End it
