On average, there were 3.6 more injuries on the Mondays following the switch to daylight saving time compared to other days, and 2,649 more days of work were lost as a result of those injuries.Apparently the time change results in an average of 40 minutes less on the Sunday night they switched to daylight saving time. One more reason to get rid of the government's control of time.

"The government control of time?" Dude, you are taking on more and more libertarian traits every day - namely, paranoia.
ReplyDeleteReally interesting article, though. I wonder if there's a psychological/medical benefit to Daylight Savings time. People are probably happier and healthier from experiencing more sunlight.
Well of course I didn't mean their control of time itself, but the control of how we keep time. I mean look at the haphazard reasons for creating it: http://www.webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/e.html
ReplyDeleteI'm just not a fan.
