Daylight-saving time is dumb and we should get rid of it

Steel yourself: It's nearly time to turn our clocks forward an hour for the start of daylight-saving time (DST).
This arcane and terrible ritual officially starts on March 13, 2016.
At 1:59 a.m. on Sunday morning, our clocks will wind forward an hour to 3:00 a.m. instead of 2:00 a.m.
That gives us one less hour of sleep and means the sun will rise an hour later than we're used to.

DST is very popular...with third shift workers (as they get paid for a free hour that night).

Yeah me too. Wristwatches clocks etc. etc. I got a new car last month so I go to out this morning to adjust it but it did it by itself. They are getting smarter and smarter. I think Skynet controls it now.

That’s why Stonehenge was abandoned. Too much work moving all those stones twice a year.

The problem with 34 is way more than 3% answer with 34.
Plus 5+8=13...

The thing that gets me is it isn’t even spring yet.

With all the constant chatter about global warming, they have overlooked the obvious cause.
It's Daylight Saving Time.
If you have an additional hour of sunlight, of course it's going to get hotter.

I've been in Latin American countries in the summer where it was dark by 7:30 pm but bright sunshine at 5 am, figured it was no wonder their economies were broken if they couldn't figure this out. Actually they were up and businesses were open by 4:00 AM.
They thought you were quite stupid trying to do business during the hot part of the day.

It was SUCH a joy to come home from work tonight and find that I still had hours of daylight to play with my animals outside, chop some firewood, and do some prep work for the spring garden. So depressing to come home in the dark and not be able to see well enough to do anything.
