Now that Daylight Savings Time has been springed forwad upon us, I look to the Wikipedia for some solace.
However, there was less than none to be found there.
My love is an hour further away from me and why? Why!? I cry. (I'm still not talking about you Wonka)
Turns out it's the fault of airconditioning: The reasons are simple: Having everyone come home from work an hour earlier to turn on or turn down their apartment or home's central air conditioner would cost the state a prohibitively large amount of money. However, many homes on the reservations have only a swamp cooler, if even that. Source
It really amazes me that this passes for good science. Daylight Savings Time is a bunch of ho-ha which amounts to little more than national doublethink. If they can trick us so easily with the tme... what else are they tricking us with already?
God damn it, that quote infuriates me. Like we don't leave the A/C on all day long anyway so that the house is temperate when we reutrn. Gag me with a fucking spoon already.
