Daylight Savings

Not sure if everyone is aware of this but Daylight Savings is changing when it's happening this year from now on. They're saying it could cause bigger problems than Y2K since people aren't preparing for it.

There's daylight savings in which the time changes by an hour. Starting this year it's going to last an extra four weeks.

since 1986 the government has been studying averages of when people conserve the most energy, and they have concluded that through whatever findings they got, that by starting daylight savings this much earlier, Americans will save a ****-ton of energy....how much? I dont really know, but if the U.S. is actually going to manipulate time (this isnt the first time its happened) again to save energy, it's gotta be alot
