This weekend, everyone in the US has to change their clocks forward one hour (except the wise Arizonans and chill Hawaiians). Does this insanity serve any purpose?

Just wait until you discover that:
September - 7
October - 8
November - 9
December - 10
Are numbered according to a calendar we don't even use.
February is last month.
We get our spring marching orders in March which is named after Mars. Mars is the first month!
But not all Arizonans.

I did not know about this. Sucks to be surrounded.
It happens too infrequently for its resulting mass irritation to generate political action.
I've never really cared about it. It's only twice a year, and the day of the change is normally the only time I think about it. This fall I didn't even realize it had happened until the following morning, when my phone showed a different time than the wall clock.
Because the government wants to control us
When we really look at the gubbermutt, there is no government. It's just mind control. Individuals act and that's the way it is.
reminded me of this video of Neil DeGrasse Tyson i watched some time ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yf0KNm0cals
Clock changes are just another pointless hassle. Nothing much changes, and it's more of a nuisance than anything else.
It also kinda kills people, so there’s that too.

My country lives in a couple different time zones and should share the same. It creates some disadvantages either we don't have mornings or evenings that's why we live with daylight saving system
It doesn't really affect me personally because it's already been daylight for a while when I wake up, but I understand that it would be beneficial for people who get up earlier, because they would be able to enjoy more hours of sunlight.
It has not been implemented in Turkey for years. The nation is fed up.
Because :
*Children go to school in the dark.
*Those who go to work turn on the lights in the morning. And, of course, most workplaces are open the lights too.
Reason:
The relatives of our dictator Erdoğan own electricity generating companies.
Where I've been living, in Quintana Roo, Mexico, there is no semiannual time change, which is nice. However, I work for a U.$. company so I still usually adjust my working hours to accommodate. smh
Helps limit the population a bit by increased heart-attacks when switching.
