Daylight Saving Time Sucks!
READ THE DESCRIPTION!
This is part random video, part serious. Daylight Saving Time has been a pain in the neck for decades and deserves to be made fun of because it's kept in place for no good reason despite being terribly inconvenient and tiring to manage, makes people late/early because not everyone remembers it and can be downright dangerous.

DST increases energy use + farmers hate it:

Traffic accidents increase after DST:

I also just found it increases workplace accidents for the same reason:
http://www.vox.com/2015/11/1/9640018/daylight-saving-time-year-round
.... which makes sense. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if it increased accidents all across the board. At home, work, anywhere.
Stroke and heart attacks increase during the DST change:

DST bring in effect increases sales:
http://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/daylight-saving-time-brings-with-it-myths-frustration/
....so why not just make it the "standard time" year round rather than changing it twice if the sales period during DST is so good? No matter what the clocks say, they aren't going to magically increase daylight during the day. It's like cutting off the edge of a board then gluing it to the other side and saying it's longer...
Especially in the winter when there's low daylight hours anyway which makes moving it back completely pointless:

If businesses that are advocating DST don't benefit from there not being a flip flop are worried, they can just change tweak their store hours twice a year rather than make everyone follow suit... Not to mention that people are not on the same sleep/work schedule anyway. So it's pointless to do the flip flop on the clocks. Just pick one and stick with it!
Also, if you don't know the real history behind this bologna, check out the history behind DST here:

If this convinced you or if you always hated DST, feel free to sign the official White House petition against it here:
