Why do we need to change the clock twice a year when we know how many downsides there are?

  • sleep disruptions, can take weeks to adjust
  • 24% spike in heart attacks on the Monday after setting the clock forward
  • 8% increased risk of stroke
  • increased depressive episodes, worse mood, decreased cognitive performance
  • 6% increase in traffic accidents
  • more frequent workplace injuries
  • increased pedestrian risk
  • estimated between millions to billions of dollars in productivity loss annually in the US alone
  • international coordination confusion

It fucking sucks

There's been numerous referandums on the subject in which people have had the opportunity to vote on dealing with this shit.

Option A) leave it as is.

Option B) permanent DST

Option C) permanent whatever the other option is called.

Since getting rid of changing the clocks 2 times per year gets split between 2 different solutions, not fixing it wins the vote.

Is this true? If so, that's a pretty crazy statistic.
