This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

The real question is, how can the rich make money off of changing this? As soon as someone figures that out, I'm sure it will change.
Whoever has a business full of hourly employees that are working during 1-3am and lose an hour of pay.
You know they understand parents. Also it messes with my sleep
God yes. I don't even care which side of DST we land on. As long as we stop changing the damn clock.
Today has been the absolute worst. Daylight savings shift coinciding with my job becoming absolute trash and my idiotic self doing a Sunday funday yesterday.
There's a lot of things that I don't like about Arizona but the abolishment of moving to and from DST has been such a great thing to have.
It’s pretty obvious the American government doesn’t care about its citizens health. Sick citizens = more shareholder profits for their scam corporations

Yeah i'm not trusting American anything at this moment.
Who could be for keeping that around?
AMA....Ask Maria Anything, right?
Well that was a non article.
Committing to standard time has health benefits and allows us to end the biannual tug of war between our biological and alarm clocks,” said AMA Trustee Alexander Ding, M.D., M.A, MBA.
So are they saying committing to standard time, or simply committing to a single time?
If they are saying Standard is better that Daylight Savings, then they are complete morons. And it isnt because I like one over the other. The fact is IT DOESNT FUCKING MATTER. Just pick one.
Daylight is constantly changing, depending on what latitude you are in. In the northern hemisphere millions of people will gain over an hour of daylight this month alone. Your rhythms are effected by people fucking with the clock, and that is it.
