    It's not a Monday. It's the time change.

    There are more accidents after the Spring Time Change. There are more fatalities after the spring time change. Why are we doing this to ourselves?

    This is foolish. We should either stay standard time or stay daylight savings time. But this back and forth kills people and productivity.
