I have to rethink my priorities I guess.

Nice body shaming.
Show me the papers that support your point instead of using emotional arguments.
Nah, we are well beyond rational arguments at this point. Nobody is providing papers supporting any of their claims, whether the idiotic idea that traffic fatalities will increase, or "sleep experts" or any other bullshit on either side of the argument.
Changing the time twice annually is one of the stupidest things we have culturally inherited. We managed to kill it once, and some nostalgic idiots decided to resurrect it, and inflict it on us again. There is no serious argument about actually keeping it. The only discussion remaining is whether it should be killed in Spring or Autumn.
We have spent 2/3 of our lives on spring/summer/fall time, and 1/3rd on winter time. Minimizing disruption, we should permanently adopt the schedule we use more often: DST.
There is no support for permanent standard time. You know how I know that? Because the states are free to adopt it. The federal law instituting DST permits states to adopt permanent standard time if they like. That law expressly prohibits states from adopting permanent DST.
The overwhelming majority of the public prefer to eliminate the time change, but only two states have elected to do so by adopting standard time. The remaining 48 could go to permanent standard time tomorrow, but they all prefer DST.
Can we agree on simply removing the federal prohibition against the adoption of DST? Can we allow the states to choose what they want to use?
Not American, so I don't give a fuck what mess you have going down there.
To quote MIB, people are stupid, and they'll take the wrong decision if you let them. Your disdain of scientists is proof enough.
