Daylight Savings Time is dumb.

The original reason had to do with the time children had to be in school and the farm chores that they had to perform at home.
We no longer have much farming to do at home, and this only carries on a traditiion.

The daylight isn't "saved". You will get the allotted amount of daylight in spite of the clocks, and the farmers will get up at dawn regardless of the clock anyway. If sunset is at eight, changing my clocks will not change the time of sunset, only the perceived time.

The time change only screws with my internal clock for a few days until I adjust and reset. And makes me find out just how many timepieces I really have...VCR, two watches, three computers, stove, microwave, wall clock, car, motorcycle (yes, it has a clock) etc. Just a lot of work for no real benefit, sez I.

Bah on time changes.
