Daylight saving time is a scam that won't save you money

Sunday, March 8 marks the start of another scam perpetrated on us by The Man. You remember The Man, the one who's always trying to keep you down? He's at it again, demanding you "spring forward" and move your watch an hour ahead.

Not only will you lose an hour of sleep Sunday as Daylight Saving Time, or DST, starts by moving your clocks ahead an hour, but the myth fed to the public by Congress that the extra hour of daylight will save energy because the lights won't be on for an hour is wrong. If anything, it encourages people to use more energy by giving them more time to consume.

And to make the issue more of a headache, this is the third year that DST has been extended to such an early start date of the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. It's supposed to start in spring, and in much of America right now, where rain and snow are falling, it certainly doesn't feel like spring.
