It's doesn't save energy, just set your lights to darkness, not time.

Farmers: Get up at dawn, you lazy fucks.

Kids don't need more daylight.

Any other lies you've heard?
 
Slightly stupid, yes. But thanks to the "average working week" and etc., we can't help it.
 
Once again the powers that be are simply using these tools to mess with us.

I just read that gas prices are going to rise because they think people are going to drive more due to the early DST change.

So, they moved up DST to " save on energy " but now want to raise gas/oil prices because we are supposedly going to use more fuel(?)!


Does this sound like a scam? :Smug:
 
I don't really care either way about DST, but I did like it better when they did it in April.
I love it when it is like 7 or 8, the sun is going down and there is a nice Spring breeze.

:erk: I read in the Guardian the other day that DST was originally proposed to allow rich folks to play more Golf.
 
If old people in Florida can play golf in the rain, darkness and during a heat wave, people can still play when it starts to get dark.
