The country should have learned by now that government solutions (central planning) solve nothing. But no. The people demand “solutions” from the government, which just screws everything up.
The State is supreme, comrade.

Arizona´s one sensible position...No DST!
DST was copied from Paris, France by Ben Franklin when he asked about ‘Why’ they tampered with the time. The French did so to cut down on the whale oil expense the public lamps burnt all night. When Franklin saw the enormous savings he instituted it in Philadelphia. New York, Boston all fell in line and it became a regularly accepted nuisance. It is unnecessary now because we don’t use whale oil and stores, hospitals, etc. are all lit up 24/7/365/
DST is for those who like to sleep in.
Don’t forget the farmers’ dilemma. That extra hour
of daylight is burning up their crops.
