The Daily Show asks 'Daylight Saving Time: Why?'

As the meme I used for Many states considering bills ending or keeping Daylight Saving Time permanently read, "Happy Daylight Saving Time Day!...said no one ever."  That's why Daylight Saving Time (sucks) was the theme for some of the most read entries during this blog's seventh year.  It's also why a majority of Americans want to stop changing their clocks twice a year.  I'm part of that majority.  I'm with "Last Week Tonight" asking "how is this still a thing?"  Maybe it shouldn't be.

In that vein, I'm marking the occasion by sharing United Swing States of America - Arizona’s Daylight Saving Time Opt-Out from The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.

Desi Lydic heads to Arizona to discover how the residents of this swing state feel about not participating in daylight saving time and attempts to figure out why DST even exists.

Lock The Clock — now, that's a catchy name for a movement to stop changing our clocks twice a year!  Until it succeeds, my readers and I will still have to spring ahead for Daylight Saving Time even if we hate it.

That's it for Daylight Saving Time until November, when we fall back for the end of Daylight Saving Time even though it affects health and increases traffic accidents.  I don't think the Block The Clock movement will succeed by then.  In the meantime, stay tuned for a post about International Women's Day.
