Loading ...DST!
Well Daylight Savings Time comes to an end this weekend. Sunday morning at 2 a.m. we turn our clocks back an hour. And just think, this was when the world was supposed to come to an end but oddly enough, it’s still here. No children have been hit buses waiting for them to pick them up from school. I’ve seen no reports of drive-ins shutting down in droves. I’ve not even read one newspaper article about farm animals having their sleep schedules thrown off because of Daylight Savings Times. Hoosiers changed their clocks and the world kept turning.
Hoosiers will turn their clocks on Sunday morning, or before going to bed, and the world will continue to turn again. Now some counties have petitioned the U.S. Department of Transportation to go from the Eastern to the Central and back to the Eastern Time Zone again. That’s not a criticism of DST, but sounds more like people who can’t get their act together. Of course Fed Ex did bring quite a few jobs to Indiana, credited in part to DST. So for all you people, who had an issue with DST, change your clocks and go to bed. Enjoy the extra hour of sleep. It does wonders for your brain.

Nope, the world did not end. And Indiana has turned into an economic powerhouse with more jobs and higher wages for all, just as promised. Hooray for DST.

I have quieted a few opponents, who style gripe with the following comment: Our Kentucky cousins have had it figured out for several decades, and done well. We can too.

What jobs? Can anyone say that Indiana has more jobs because of DST? Why didn’t the Republicans do the hard work of deciding on Eastern or Central?
