F Daylight Savings Time

[Dirtbag59]

Seriously this is crap. We have to move the clocks back for 8 months and only get it to move forward for 4. Am I the only one that sees a problem with this picture?

Originally we were to suppose to move the clocks back in April but our amazing congress decided to move it up.

But in 2007, Congress adjusted daylight saving time to begin three weeks earlier and end one week later, a move they hoped would help save energy. At the time, they pointed to the fact that longer daylight in the evening hours reduced the need to turn on lights in homes at night.

1% reduction in energy usage, 3% drop in productivity. hmmmmmmmm. Economic recession or Energy savings?

Matthew Uhles with the Clayton Sleep Institute talks about it. According to the SleepBetter.org, moving the clock ahead one hour each spring inflicts nearly half a billion dollars ($434 million) in total losses on the U.S. economy.

Lost sleep has a cost, studies have shown, that missing hour of sleep has both physiological and psychological effects – effects that can lead to an increase in workplace injury, cyberloafing and even heart attacks.

Here's to you congress.....you f****g A-holes.
