Time change

I hate the time change. It takes me about 4 months to adjust and by then it’s almost time to change again. At least this is the fall back change. It is a little easier on me.
Now 8 pm will feel like 12 am ugh
Our state legislature tried to end it, and someone quietly put the total kabosh on it.
I can't figure out who is lobbying for this garbage. Who makes money from DST? Does it have something to do with more people eating at restaurants or grocery shopping or playing golf with the different hours? Is there a large workforce of people who reset public clocks twice a year? Makes no sense to me.
Arizona, USA doesn't have DST, either.
The local news reporting the weather said
yesterday that one benefit of daylight savings
time was that the sun comes up earlier so it's
light when kids are on their way to school,
safer for them.

I'd want to compare how many additional car wrecks happen due to sleepy drivers and the effect that has on overall "child safety".
The only consistent lobby I know of is a legitimate one. The interest of public schools and parents regarding children on their way to school in the dark versus morning motorists who may not see them. But this is Nevada. Where drivers have a propensity to hit walking schoolkids in broad daylight. Another reason why auto insurance is so high here. Bad drivers. They may- or may not statistically have a point.
Then again if casualties were to suddenly pick up, blame would begin directly towards the State Assembly. And it would seem some of them don't want the prospects of reelection diminishing. With most successful politicians striving to achieve nothing as a twisted strategy to pacify voters.
I think this year I may try to offset the added hour, by going to be maybe two hours later. But with my messed-up metabolism it probably won't matter.
Umm, under DST the sun comes up later. It comes up earlier when it switches back.
Yes, that's what they said on the news.
Since it's November, 'fall back' time.

I like her work! Thanks for sending me that direction. The illustration didn't have the artist name, but it looks like it is probably her.
