DST is actually the topic for my current paper in Composition class (for persuasive+research)

but when looking for sources I'm finding way too many articles which support that abomination akudood;

As much as I love David, I don't want him to be president. He'd make it to where we could never get married.  :(

DST never bothered me and at most it only took me a day or two to acclimate to the time changes. You guys are just too weak.

but it annoys perfectionist desires to no end :'(
it's unnecessary complication, executed routinely yet also inconsistently, is a messy workaround to a perceived problem (work hours' alignment with sunlight, which may even be a non-problem in the first place considering DST makes people start morning in the dark) which may or may not solve anything while at the same time causing more significant problems, is frequently expanded in an even more messy way for various reasons unrelated to its original rationale, and further complicates/misaligns time zones.

lol even if it does help some businesses and such, it supposedly actually has adverse affects on agriculture

I wonder why agriculture would even use a rigid clock system like those affected by DST when it's directly reliant on sunrise and sunset times which vary throughout the year confuseddood;

But aside from farming, various evening-focused entertainment industries apparently also have statistically significant losses due to DST.

anybody should be able to enter into a contract with the government granting them the privileges you get along with being 'married', but it should be up to individual religious organisations to decide which unions they want to bless with the term marriage :|
