A Dozen States Might Drop Daylight Savings Time

If you’re like most people you grumbled over the weekend about Daylight Savings Time stealing an hour of your sleep. I’m not sure why we bother doing this. I’m told it’s for farmers, but I’m related to farmers, and on principle farmers wake up an hour or two before dawn just to make the Sun feel lazy. You can call it 8:00 or 3:00, they’re going to wake up when it’s dark. It’s not like they have a punchcard at a factory.

The interesting thing is that states thinking about dropping out of this nonsense are really proxy battles between morning and evening people. Morning people want the day to start an hour earlier, and say there would be fewer morning traffic accidents because of increased visibility. Evening people want it an hour later, so they can enjoy sunlight after work.
