The United States has a 24x7 economy. The supposed "Energy Savings" from changing our clocks twice a year has been proven to be a farce. Businesses spend millions of dollars each year dealing with issues caused by hours disappearing and reappearing. So why do we continue to participate in this archaic practice of changing our clocks? If you think it's as ridiculous as I do, sign my petition! I'll be sending the results of this petition to my Congressman. It's going to take all of us contacting our Representatives to finally do away with this silliness, but my hope is that the shear numbers seen on this petition, shared with all of our Representatives, might give some much needed traction to the movement to do away with "Time Change". (Also, please note that I'm not advocating keeping Daylight Saving Time year around over keeping Standard Time. I don't care which we wind up with--I'm just tired of dealing with this twice a year change!)

I was just staring at my stove clock trying to figure out why we even bother with this nonsense and honestly it feels like a total fever dream at this point. People keep messaging me with their own stories about how exhausted they are after the shift and it really makes me feel like we are finally starting to align on how outdated this whole thing is despite the radio silence from the folks in office.
