Permanent DST in 1974-75 didn't reduce energy consumption as intended. Standard Time aligns with our natural biological rhythms.

A Great America is One That's in Sync with the World

U.S. Arbitrary Measurements vs. Metric System
U.S. Arbitrary Measurements vs. Metric System
When I was a software instructor for a multi-national corporation, I'd start with my joke ab-out how American's view the world and I'd draw the picture above. Later, someone would inevitably ask me if I was raised outside of the U.S. No, I wasn't, but I'm smart enough to realize that I live in a country where I have to be careful to not use "big" words longer than three syllables if I want the average person to be able to understand me.

The US.A. is so regressive, it still hasn't converted to the metric system. If the U.S.A. wants to be a great country its citizens will stop being tunnel-visioned xeno-idiots, and recognize that to be a leader, the first step is to get in sync with the rhythm of the world.
Think of all the Math teachers (expecially those with students who have learning challenges) who would be thrilled to simplify Math standards by getting rid of the Imperial system of measurement.

- Keeping people up later at night is beneficial for a few of Florida's major industries -- bars & nightclubs, drug dealing, and prostitution.
- Florida is overloaded with retired old farts who don't give a hoot about the education of our nation's children nor their healthy circadian rhythms.
- There are far too many xeno-idiots concentrated in that swampy, pest-ridden den of iniquity, giving far too much power to a state government that is so corrupt, it was able to rig the 2004 U.S. Presidential election in a coup that installed the Florida Governor's brother in the White House. Hello, Afghanistan War, Vice President Cheney's hired mercenaries (and his happy shareholders).

Everybody loves ‘DST’: Daylight Saving Time all the time wins over committee
2018 Article by Mitch Perry
"Extending Daylight Saving a month in 2005 barely saved any energy. Meanwhile, another study found that when Illinois adopted DST in 2006, any energy saved was more than canceled out by people using air-conditioning longer."

Science? The hell with science if it's good for a Florida Republican's bank account.

This quote from the Florida Politics 2018 article shows how stupid Floridian Republicans can be.
Daylight Savings Time doesn't give you more hours of sunlight.
It only means that to get more hours of sunlight in the evening, you have to steal it from the morning. You have to wake up and get out of bed hours before the sun comes up.
xeno-idiot - (n) a person so absorbed with zir own environs ze doesn't recognize that worldwide standards are a good idea.
