Daylight saving time — still mostly a scam, killing Americans for no reason

Daylight saving time doesn’t save energy — quite the opposite.

Daylight saving doesn’t seem to impact gasoline use and driving habits one way or the other.
Daylight saving time might increase traffic fatalities.

Daylight saving can be bad for your health.
The disruption in sleep patterns caused by setting your clock forward can actually kill people.

Daylight saving has mixed effects on the economy.
