WASHINGTON — This week’s unanimous Senate vote to end the need for changing clocks twice a year has Americans buzzing over the impact of daylight saving time...
back and forth to mark daylight saving time — a ritual Rubio called “stupidity” — but that there are plenty of reasons to stay on daylight saving year-round.. “For example, reduced crime as there’s light later in the day. We’ve seen decreases in child obesity. A decrease in seasonal depression that many feel during standard time.”
Sen. Sheldon Whitehosue, D-R.I., presumably spoke for many New Englanders when he lamented the moment clocks change in November and cast afternoons into darkness. , Whitehouse cited greater energy savings and reduced risk of stroke and heart problems during daylight time.. “We have sunset in Rhode Island at 4:15 — 4:15!”
The retail and leisure industries, along with gas stations, have supported switching to daylight time — more light in the evenings would give consumers more time to spend money, they argue. When there’s more sunlight at the end of the day, Americans go out to parks and malls, and need gasoline to get there, the argument follows.
