Daylight savings time is great
but why do they take it away from us in winter, when we most need it?
​
Somebody please explain to me how DST actually helps reduce energy consumption in the U.S. and if it doesn't then what is the point?
I'll grant that I use more electricity in summer than in winter, but that's due to air conditioning. Lights are on for less time in summer, and daylight savings time does help.
​
Even if it doesn't save electricity, I like it to be still daylight at 8:30 pm.

Farmers or city slickers?
I mean, if farmers really wanted to, ...
Maybe I'm confused. But I don't think DST was for farmers. It is my impression that farmers have always been against it. DST is for us city slickers.

Purple
This thread explain a lot.
​
Both purpledawn and PurpleTeddyBear are from Indiana. After reading this thread, I now realize it is because Indiana folk are just purple with rage over daylight savings time
