2019-03-10 | Time’s running out on daylight saving shift - Los Angeles Times
'What Congress should not do is allow states to do their own thing, or force the nation to keep observing this outdated time shift. '
'We don’t save energy; the expected large-scale energy savings that drove the invention of daylight saving time during World War I never materialized in peacetime. '
' In fact, farmers were the main opponents of the 1949 ballot initiative that started the clock-changing tradition in California. '
'And though many people were told that the shift had something to do with agriculture, farmers apparently couldn’t care less about the numbers displayed on our timekeeping devices. ', "The length of day does not increase; even all our fancy technology can’t alter the tilt of Earth's axis as it orbits the sun."
