Daylight savings time in the hackklotz again, says non -partisan panel

In 1957, the Rockabilly singer Bob Ehret repeated: “We have to stop the clock, to spend more time with them” – and in a hearing from the Senate trade committee, the legislators, in a way, in a way used the advantages.

The chairman Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said that the daylight saving is based on good efforts to faith to reduce energy consumption. Instead, this led to increased car accidents in the dark problems and objections to the workplace from the agricultural sector, which supports the early sunlight in spring.

“We act our watches … forward and fall back in autumn. For many Americans, this semi -annual ritual is a minor inconvenience … but if we take a closer look at the effects of the change in the watches, their effects on our economy, our health and our daily life, we can see that this practice is more than one trouble,” said Cruz.

“The idea was simple. Less hours darkness meant less power consumption for lighting and heating.”

In contrast to the early 20th century, when the US economy was heavily dependent on the energy consumption associated with daylight, today’s effects of sunrise and sunset are “de minimis,” he said.

Cruz spoke together with Massachusett’s neurology doctor Dr. Karin Johnson about the health concerns, which are associated with the change of time twice a year and the durability of the summer time (DST) compared to the standard time.

“Investigations have shown that the abrupt time difference, especially the spring transition, when we lose an hour of sleep,” said Cruz when Johnson spoke about the effects on the effects of the circadian rhythm of people, the vascular system and sleep deprivation.

The committee also organized an official from the National Golf Course Owner’s Association when he and other legislators spoke about the increased income from the evening tea times and other tourist activities that are only possible in daylight.

On the democratic side, Senator Lisa Blunt-Rochester made of Delaware agreed that it was time to take a “permanent time for our country” into account.

She noticed an invoice from back then. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. To abolish the DST in the house.

“This body (back then) took a harder look at how the changes in time for the state of state for the state change,” she said.

“What works in my home state of Delaware may not work in the state of Washington, but I know that I speak for many Americans when I say it’s time. It’s time to find out.”

Witnesses of the hearing found that it is indeed southern states such as Florida and Texas, in which the negative effects of a permanent summer time feel the most.

Senator Edward Markay, D-Mass.

Brandy joked that his decades of work on this topic brought him the nickname “The Sun King”.

“We have to stop the clock,” said Blunt-Rochester. “We know that the change in the watch disturbs sleep, which can lead to negative health results. Several studies have increased problems with mood disorders that increase hospital admissions and even heart attacks and lines.”

Scott Yates, founder of the watch Movement, said about the incorrect history of the DST and found a time in the 1970s -energy crisis that the Nixon administration made DST permanently.

Nixon signed the law in December 1973 when it was involved in Watergate – but it came into force the following year the following year – January 6, 1974.

“So you can imagine that the worst Monday of the year already after the holiday break in which you have to go back to school and everything – an additional hour of sleep straight away.

The break -in of the “plumber” in the Watergate Hotel also occurred in the night.

“So maybe if we had more daylight, the Watergate slump does not appear,” joked Cruz as an answer.

“And the story would be different.”
