Should daylight saving time be abolished permanently?

As a cardiac nurse, I dread the Monday after the spring clock change. A 2014 study presented to the American College of Cardiology found a 24 percent spike in heart attacks that day, and a 2020 study in Current Biology found fatal car crashes rise about 6 percent in the week after we spring forward. Our bodies run on circadian rhythm, not legislation, and losing an hour of sleep is a population-level stress test. The [American Academy of Sleep Medicine](https://aasm.org/) formally supports permanent standard time, noting morning light is what anchors healthy sleep. The Senate unanimously passed the Sunshine Protection Act in 2022 to lock the clock, but sleep scientists say permanent daylight time is the wrong half of the choice. Abolish the switching, keep standard time, and stop the twice-yearly health shock.

our indie theater does 35mm nights and they sell out. curation is the whole game

this comment section is about to be a warzone lol. anyway nobody is forcing anyone to shop at amazon, the "exploitation" argument falls apart the second you remember people choose these jobs and these products

The long tail point is exactly right. Everyone knows the big names, but the flashlight app with 50,000 downloads selling location pings is the one tracking my kid's walk to school. Automatic audits are the only thing that reaches those companies.
