I'm curious as to the reason.
Daylight Savings, as with all savings programs administered by government or large banks and corporations is illusory, with small charges and fees, diminishing any true gains. These small micro-liens are cleverly hidden. Like "cash-back programs" and "rewards" programs there is no free lunch and the "house" always wins in the end. Over the last century the international time-keeping cabal has filched on the average 6.33 years of daylight from each man, woman and child that has lived, and they are keeping it hidden in a cave masquerading as a diamond mine in South Africa.
