Challenge
There’s a $10 bill here at AMD corporate headquarters for the first person who can name one—just one—advantage of Daylight Savings Time. I’m not talking about how much everyone enjoys the extra light at the end of the workday; I’m talking about a tested, proven, and verifiable benefit to humanity.
Stumped? Yeah, that’s what I thought.

Government propaganda would have us believe that it allows us to save energy by having more daylight therefore using less electricity.
“Studies done in the 1970s by the U.S. Department of Transportation show that we trim the entire country’s electricity usage by about one percent EACH DAY with Daylight Saving Time.” I know, 1970s…right?
I am not saying I believe the argument or supporting it. So I do not expect the $10.00
