Daylight savings time is based on a false assumption.

We do this every year where we spring forward

and we fall back, and we spring forward and we fall back.

We just switched from daylight savings time to standard time.

And not only does switching from summertime to regular time

make life more difficult and more complicated,

there's evidence that it literally kills people.

California voted to abolish daylight savings,

and to that I say no thank you, sir, madam, people.

I say no because standard time is terrible.

the longest day of the year, would be 735 PM.

Instead, let's just keep daylight savings time forever,
