Arrogant, Ignorant, and Reckless

The incredible destructiveness of casual government action is enough to give one pause.

Changes in daylight-saving time were added to the Energy Policy Act of 2005 on what must be fairly called a whim since there’s debate as to whether the time change is effective as an energy saving measure. After all, there’s no way to calculate the unseen changes in energy consumption patterns even if the entire 1% of electricity savings of a 30-plus-year-old study is actually realized. For example, what if more gasoline is consumed because of an evening of longer daylight?

Then the 21 day movement of the start date to the 2nd Sunday of March by the act amounts to a one-tenth of 1 percent change of the maximum hypothetical benefit. On the other hand, thousands of hours of human productivity are consumed in reprogramming software, and some technological devices are instantly rendered obsolete by their hardwired old daylight-saving time rules.

There are probably as many tiny (and big) gashes to our economy for as long as you care to look.
