Abolish The Daylight Savings Time Shift

There was a time and a place for Daylight Savings, but I feel that that time has passed. Back in the day when farming was more prevalent and when people depended more on daylight it seemed like the right thing to do.

Nowadays, most people conduct their lives independent of the location of the sun. This fact alone minimizes the advantages of Daylight Savings. When you also consider the actual time change and what it does to people for a few days, there appears to be no advantage to Daylight Savings at all.

Lastly, this slow migration to increase the amount of Daylight Savings is causing more trouble than it is worth. It would be best if the government picked a time period. Be it Standard time or Daylight Savings time and stick with it going forward.
