That's a deliberate lie: Problems do increase on Monday, but if you look at the week as a whole, it meets the weekly average. In other words, people who would've had an issue anyway that week are more likely to have them on Monday instead of Friday.

@Gomer By that reasoning I suppose the customers should also be responsible for the wages, benefits, taxes, and everything else employers are obligated to? Being the boss doesn't sound so fun now, does it?:P
well yes. They indirectly are. How do you think the self employed are able to pay for said expenses & their own retirement ls. Taxes on the other hand is their (the self employed individuals) own responsibility. Self employment is a mixed bag. You have good years & not so good years. I just love people who say “I’m self employed, it’s the greatest. I get to work whenever, however I want” but they don’t realize that their customers who call them to do a job, are their employers.
@@Vickvineager If customers were employers then they would have to adhere to the same legal obligations as one, making them directly responsible. They don't, so why should they expect to be treated as though they do? That mentality comes from a rule of thumb pushed upon employees by upper management that don't have to deal with the repercussions. Businesses aren't obligated to serve any more than customers are to be patrons.
@@ZombieBarioth obligated and responsible for what? Their wages, benefits, retirement? And whose “they”, pronoun games are for gaslighting nitwits. But again if you want to hold your hand again & walk you through AGAIN why self employment isn’t what everyone claims it is.
Hilariously I had a conversation with a fellow gardener who tried to explain to me how his states DST was helpful because it increased the amount of sunlight for his garden.
The week after the spring time change has more workplace accidents than any other week. The energy saved by not needing to turn the lights on in your house is more than offset by the heat of the summer day requiring the AC to work harder to keep the house cool. This crap needs to be brought to an end. 😠
Since 2006, it’s really been called “Winter Time” when we fall back, because we spring forward the 2nd weekend of March and don’t switch to historic Standard Time until the 1st Sunday of Nov. Historically, until 1985, it used to be exactly 6 months ST, 6 months DST, from the last weekend of April until the last weekend of October. In 1986 the spring forward was moved up to the 1st Sunday of April. I personally would stay on DST year round because I’d rather it dark at 5PM in December than 4PM like it always does (public safety issue). I’d rather have the extra hour of daylight at the end of the day. I’d rather squint in the morning than be greeted to blaring sunshine!
I don't change my clocks . My bowels know when it's 8:00am . Anyone comes in my house ends up a n hour late . 😁 I don't care what time it is in the Matrix of government mind control .
There are three options A) No Daylight savings time, which stinks because we get dark summer evenings, earlier B). Keep Daylight savings time permanent, which stinks, because we get Dark winter mornings, later or C) change the clock, every six months, like we do know. Losing one hour of sleep once a year is a small price to pay I PREFER...C
Growing up on a farm I never once saw anyone use a time card to clock in to go feed the animals. You got up before sunrise and did your job no matter what time the government said it was. Most farmers I know never change their clocks anyways so it is "time" to change by not changing the time.
You can always tell when it's going to be a particularly good rant. when Lewis can hardly keeps from laughing while he's trying to read the rant. that's when I really LMFAO.
I like Daniel Tosh’s take on daylight savings time. Half the year noon is set to midnight, so all the folks that work the graveyard shift, will in that case get half a year of normal life. And you might realize at bar close you were taking home terridactyls, once you they see the light off day on the way home.
Ya know who HATES DST? Barkeeps. They all have a number of timers and clocks to reset. Fridge and freezer timers, cash registers, safes, and lounge clocks from a zillion beer companies. Then there are watches, alarms, vehicle clocks, and so on. As my late brother once said: "I waste TWO Effing hours a year to gain NOTHING! What the Hella have I saved?"
When i was a child, I inquired of my parents, (Both with graduate degrees, at the time) "Why do we change the clocks, twice a year?" They explained that it went back to WWII, when the mercantile system needed to encourage more consumer spending, and those in power thought that more light, after work, would help. It did, initially, and so the process became standard. (I'm autistic savant, and so this made a sort of sense, at the time) As I grew older, I realized that the time in which such a procedure would generate profit had long passed. It was a case of the activity having been useful, for a couple of decades, but the usefulness faded. The procedure did not. If we don't put an end to daylight savings time, then how about this? When the clocks change, so do all of our activities. Things that opened at seven, now open at eight, or the reverse, for Widdershins when things opening at eight, open instead at seven. The same with going to work, and school, and even church. (many people still go to church, even though they know that God is pissed off at Humanity, and just sits with his arms folded, waiting for someone to notice) This wouldn't solve all the problems, but it would make everyone see how totally fucked to tears the activity remains. It would open the eyes of the "silent majority" to notice that changing when you did stuff, twice a year, is easier than changing the time and trying to adjust to the fuck-for-brains idea which some illiterate fuckers thought of, back when the Second World War was the news of the day. Surprise, Motherfuckers! World War Two is OVER! We no longer need scrap drives, and meatless tuesdays. Well maybe we still need those things, but the reasons have changed. So, in conclusion, if you want Daylight Savings Time, try this... Find a point for it. Come up with a reason it should exist. Otherwise just end it and get over the Second World War!
I worked for a state department of natural resources many years ago. I swear this is true. A woman called and I happened to get the call. She pleaded with me to not change the clocks because her plants needed the light we were taking away. I tried to explain but that went nowhere.
Doctors urge Standard Time is best for health and safety. Special interests profit from DST. Tell lawmakers: No to permanent DST. Yes to permanent Standard Time. #SaveStandardTime
Here's why I hate daylight savings time. I used to have my alarm clock set to wake up every morning at the same time, and it just so happens that it was set on a radio channel that played the same recorded set list every day, as well. Thus, I found myself waking up to the radio switching on to an intro to the song, Love in an Elevator, by Aerosmith. The intro was a lady saying, "Good morning Mr. Leach. Going down?" Needless to say, this was the perfect thing to wake up to every single morning. That is, until daylight savings time, and I had to switch out the time on the clock! Sadistic bastards!
So a few years ago I realized that I was getting older and starting to not give a fuck about many things that I used it. To solve the daylight savings issue I changed my clock by half an hour and half of the year I’m early and half of the year I’m late. Fight me if you don’t like it I’m not father time I don’t give an F.
Arizona and Hawaii DO NOT observe daylight savings time. Loved it, spent my childhood living in both of those states. However, now as a f🔥cking adult, I live in California and it sucks!!! Stop the insanity!!! #Daylightsavingscancel😂😂
@@ernietetrault3403 sooooo we now have 25 hours in a day?!!! you full of it you nitwit!!!! it's still the SAME amount of TIME in a day...there is NO logic to you thinking!!!
Seems like this is one of the few YT channels left that doesn't censor the word "fuck". Please continue! Censoring cuss words is fucking stupid. Just gives them even more power, really.
Any State can just decide by Governors decree to stop changing the clocks. It's not hard. Get a petition and take it to your Governor. Most have visiting hours for regular folk, but you still need an appointment. Better yet get your state Representative in there with you in support. Good luck. My sister lives in AZ. I have always been jealous, until I visit and die of heat-stroke.
Question asked: If daylight saving time was never invented, what year would we possibly be in? My answer: Great question. The Uniform Time Act was passed by Congress in 1966 (52 years ago) after television broadcasters lobbied them (Congress is not always that smart to do much on their own) for scheduling tv shows. Daylight Savings Time was invented long before 1966 however it wasn’t uniform across the country so I’ll calculate it based on uniformity. In answering your question based on today’s date of Sunday, October 28, 2018 at 9:00 A.M., when the clocks change next weekend in the states where DST is recognized, they will fall back one hour. Since 1966, that’s 52 hours you have had to repeat, or in other words 52 hours in the negative direction. If DST wasn’t invented, it would currently be Tuesday, October 30, 2018 at 1:00 P.M. You would be late to work two days in a row and are probably already fired. And since you didn’t get up in time, your dog peed in your living room on the couch. Not all is lost, cause in the spring the clocks spring forward. Since 1966, that’s 52 hours you skipped in the positive direction. It DST wasn’t invented, it would currently be Friday, October 25, 2018 at 5:00 A.M. You would have the whole weekend ahead of you to learn some basics. You missed church and the Red Sox coming from behind and beating the Dodgers last night. So alas, since you lost 52 hours and gained 52 hours since 1966, for most of us the current year is 2018, however in your case, you’re still in 1966 which is a good thing. You can now pay more attention in school and learn some simple thinking skills. And quit watching Bewitched, Batman and Get Smart on tv!
My state decided years ago that we should stop with the clock changes. Okay t hasn’t happened yet because it can’t be agreed on if it should always be forward or backward. It’s bs

He's got it backward though. When we spring forward we are going back to standard time. It's the extra hour they give you in the fall that needs to go away.
I have a solution to the Daylight savings time. We set our clocks forward or back every month by 10 minutes. Think about it the first weekend of the month you reset your clocks, by the end of each month you only have to lose or gain ten minutes every month, but it will result in total freaking chaos. No one will be on time to work or school!
I have had the same time on my bedroom for 22 years. It has two alarms...they're set an hour apart and both are on. The first goes off and I try if its real time or fake time...If it's fake time I get another hours sleep, lucky me...if it's real time the mental exercize has gotten my mind working and it's easier to get up...Works for me and the clock has lasted for over 22 years...Win/Tie/Win...
I absolutely hate daylight savings time! I grew up in southern Louisiana on standard time. Then the 1970's " oil shortage" happened, and D.S.T was implemented to save energy. That's what we were told anyway. There was no oil shortage. The Arabs simply reduced the supply, thus causing a panic that we were going to run out. Now-a-days, DST is used so rich people have more daylight to play golf, or something like that. It's a pain in the neck, but I know that "the powers that be" won't get rid of it as long as it is profitable to them....
Do you realize how many people that would put out of work ? Its all part of the huge Conspiracy Theory… adding ‘fixers’ and ‘calmer downers’ to the work force ! LOL
An old indian explained daylight savings time as such: You cut a foot off the top of a blanket and sew it to the bottom of the blanket and think the blanket is a foot longer.
Twice a yr., this subject comes up, everybody hoots and hollers, every politicians claims they are getting it throw out......then the time passes to the next season, everybody hoots and hollers, every politician.........
I just found out who invented Daylight Saving Time. The Kaiser in WWI, so Germany could run munitions plants during daylight. They quit after the war. Then in WWII, Hitler started it again, for the same reason. Do these sound like good reasons for us to be doing it? That's what I thought.
All year, at 5 o'clock, I feed my dogs. Until the winter. When 5 becomes really 4. But my dogs come to me at 4 and say WTF? Where is food?? So I explained to them that we changed the clock. They say whats a clock. So I tell them it makes the time the time. So they ask why do you change it, humans? So I said I have no idea. So they said this doesn't make any sense. I'm hungry. This continues all winter or until I break down and finally feed them at 430.
Oh I love this SO, SO much! My circadian rhythms (and my poor elderly cat) ducking HATE this BS with twice a year freakin’ WHY!?! Clock changes! Some traditions need to be buried for a reason. Just Pick one already, fuuuuck! 🥰
Interesting... Or, we could celebrate New Year's at 6:00AM one year, Noon the next year, 6:00PM the next year, and then.... Actually, it kind of falls apart after that.
Or re-arrange the whole calendar altogether. Why have one month with 28 days but seven with 31 days? Shorten January and March by one day and make February a regular 30-day month.
@@einundsiebenziger5488 I've got a better idea. Make each month 28 days long, and add a 13th month. That way, every month will divide into four weeks. (Of course, we'll have to add one extra day to the end of the year, but we could just count that as a three-day weekend.)

If customers were employers then they would have to adhere to the same legal obligations as one, making them directly responsible. They don't, so why should they expect to be treated as though they do?
That mentality comes from a rule of thumb pushed upon employees by upper management that don't have to deal with the repercussions.
Businesses aren't obligated to serve any more than customers are to be patrons.
@@ZombieBarioth obligated and responsible for what? Their wages, benefits, retirement? And whose “they”, pronoun games are for gaslighting nitwits. But again if you want to hold your hand again & walk you through AGAIN why self employment isn’t what everyone claims it is.
Hilariously I had a conversation with a fellow gardener who tried to explain to me how his states DST was helpful because it increased the amount of sunlight for his garden.

The week after the spring time change has more workplace accidents than any other week. The energy saved by not needing to turn the lights on in your house is more than offset by the heat of the summer day requiring the AC to work harder to keep the house cool. This crap needs to be brought to an end. 😠
It's actually called Daylight Saving Time even though no one ever says it correctly. Both the name and the time change need to go.
Since 2006, it’s really been called “Winter Time” when we fall back, because we spring forward the 2nd weekend of March and don’t switch to historic Standard Time until the 1st Sunday of Nov. Historically, until 1985, it used to be exactly 6 months ST, 6 months DST, from the last weekend of April until the last weekend of October. In 1986 the spring forward was moved up to the 1st Sunday of April. I personally would stay on DST year round because I’d rather it dark at 5PM in December than 4PM like it always does (public safety issue). I’d rather have the extra hour of daylight at the end of the day. I’d rather squint in the morning than be greeted to blaring sunshine!
I don't change my clocks . My bowels know when it's 8:00am . Anyone comes in my house ends up a n hour late . 😁 I don't care what time it is in the Matrix of government mind control .
Fine, as long as my employer is OK with my shift being an hour earlier all summer...
you know something is unpopular when kids and animals don't like it
There are three options
A) No Daylight savings time, which stinks because we get dark summer evenings, earlier
B). Keep Daylight savings time permanent, which stinks, because we get Dark winter mornings, later or
C) change the clock, every six months, like we do know. Losing one hour of sleep once a year is a small price to pay
I PREFER...C
@@vicepresidentmikepence889 "Dark summer evenings" means like 8:00 pm in our neck of the woods. Plenty enough time to do whatever. I PREFER...A
Growing up on a farm I never once saw anyone use a time card to clock in to go feed the animals. You got up before sunrise and did your job no matter what time the government said it was. Most farmers I know never change their clocks anyways so it is "time" to change by not changing the time.
You can always tell when it's going to be a particularly good rant. when Lewis can hardly keeps from laughing while he's trying to read the rant. that's when I really LMFAO.
I like Daniel Tosh’s take on daylight savings time. Half the year noon is set to midnight, so all the folks that work the graveyard shift, will in that case get half a year of normal life. And you might realize at bar close you were taking home terridactyls, once you they see the light off day on the way home.
Ya know who HATES DST? Barkeeps. They all have a number of timers and clocks to reset. Fridge and freezer timers, cash registers, safes, and lounge clocks from a zillion beer companies. Then there are watches, alarms, vehicle clocks, and so on. As my late brother once said: "I waste TWO Effing hours a year to gain NOTHING! What the Hella have I saved?"
So this is the guy George Carlin left his voice in the will to.
When i was a child, I inquired of my parents, (Both with graduate degrees, at the time) "Why do we change the clocks, twice a year?" They explained that it went back to WWII, when the mercantile system needed to encourage more consumer spending, and those in power thought that more light, after work, would help. It did, initially, and so the process became standard. (I'm autistic savant, and so this made a sort of sense, at the time) As I grew older, I realized that the time in which such a procedure would generate profit had long passed. It was a case of the activity having been useful, for a couple of decades, but the usefulness faded. The procedure did not. If we don't put an end to daylight savings time, then how about this? When the clocks change, so do all of our activities. Things that opened at seven, now open at eight, or the reverse, for Widdershins when things opening at eight, open instead at seven. The same with going to work, and school, and even church. (many people still go to church, even though they know that God is pissed off at Humanity, and just sits with his arms folded, waiting for someone to notice)
This wouldn't solve all the problems, but it would make everyone see how totally fucked to tears the activity remains. It would open the eyes of the "silent majority" to notice that changing when you did stuff, twice a year, is easier than changing the time and trying to adjust to the fuck-for-brains idea which some illiterate fuckers thought of, back when the Second World War was the news of the day. Surprise, Motherfuckers! World War Two is OVER! We no longer need scrap drives, and meatless tuesdays. Well maybe we still need those things, but the reasons have changed. So, in conclusion, if you want Daylight Savings Time, try this... Find a point for it. Come up with a reason it should exist. Otherwise just end it and get over the Second World War!
actually was created by europe during the war....research and ye shall LEARN something
I worked for a state department of natural resources many years ago. I swear this is true. A woman called and I happened to get the call. She pleaded with me to not change the clocks because her plants needed the light we were taking away. I tried to explain but that went nowhere.
Maybe it was in the water...
Doctors urge Standard Time is best for health and safety. Special interests profit from DST. Tell lawmakers: No to permanent DST. Yes to permanent Standard Time. #SaveStandardTime
The party that ends DST could win the midterms, so much it is hated.
I never mess w my clock anymore...😜 F$#%k daylight savings Time!
I always spring ahed, but I never fallback, I have a whole day saved up!
Classic as always, Mr. Black!!
Here's why I hate daylight savings time. I used to have my alarm clock set to wake up every morning at the same time, and it just so happens that it was set on a radio channel that played the same recorded set list every day, as well. Thus, I found myself waking up to the radio switching on to an intro to the song, Love in an Elevator, by Aerosmith. The intro was a lady saying, "Good morning Mr. Leach. Going down?" Needless to say, this was the perfect thing to wake up to every single morning. That is, until daylight savings time, and I had to switch out the time on the clock! Sadistic bastards!
Great session, doctor Black.
So a few years ago I realized that I was getting older and starting to not give a fuck about many things that I used it. To solve the daylight savings issue I changed my clock by half an hour and half of the year I’m early and half of the year I’m late. Fight me if you don’t like it I’m not father time I don’t give an F.
That's a solution worth trying! Although it means buying new clocks that dont self update 🤣
Arizona and Hawaii DO NOT observe daylight savings time. Loved it, spent my childhood living in both of those states. However, now as a f🔥cking adult, I live in California and it sucks!!! Stop the insanity!!! #Daylightsavingscancel😂😂
My favorite comedian.
The screaming is what’s in my head too! Thanks 😊
Daylight savings was for one thing an one thing only, rural communities. That's a thing of the past so its time to get rid of this stupidity
Adding another hour to 2021 is like getting a bonus track on the new Yoko Ono album

adding another hour???? WTH is that!!!!
@@forthefunofit3230 "Fall back, Spring ahead". In the Fall, 6 pm becomes 5pm, therefore you gain an hour
@@ernietetrault3403 sooooo we now have 25 hours in a day?!!! you full of it you nitwit!!!! it's still the SAME amount of TIME in a day...there is NO logic to you thinking!!!
You always end up losing an hour on your day off, gaining one in the middle of a shift, & having to fight for compensation. Fuck daylight saving.
Time is an illusion and there's never fucking enough of it.
Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.
Seems like this is one of the few YT channels left that doesn't censor the word "fuck". Please continue! Censoring cuss words is fucking stupid. Just gives them even more power, really.

Any State can just decide by Governors decree to stop changing the clocks. It's not hard. Get a petition and take it to your Governor. Most have visiting hours for regular folk, but you still need an appointment. Better yet get your state Representative in there with you in support. Good luck. My sister lives in AZ. I have always been jealous, until I visit and die of heat-stroke.
...and in AZ, the clock has nothing to do with how hot it is... even when it's cold, it's hotter than most places...
Our governor doesn't listen
We did. And the asshats in Texas legislation decided DST somehow protected school children from getting run over while walking to school, and kept it.
Question asked: If daylight saving time was never invented, what year would we possibly be in?
My answer: Great question. The Uniform Time Act was passed by Congress in 1966 (52 years ago) after television broadcasters lobbied them (Congress is not always that smart to do much on their own) for scheduling tv shows. Daylight Savings Time was invented long before 1966 however it wasn’t uniform across the country so I’ll calculate it based on uniformity.
In answering your question based on today’s date of Sunday, October 28, 2018 at 9:00 A.M., when the clocks change next weekend in the states where DST is recognized, they will fall back one hour. Since 1966, that’s 52 hours you have had to repeat, or in other words 52 hours in the negative direction. If DST wasn’t invented, it would currently be Tuesday, October 30, 2018 at 1:00 P.M. You would be late to work two days in a row and are probably already fired. And since you didn’t get up in time, your dog peed in your living room on the couch.
Not all is lost, cause in the spring the clocks spring forward. Since 1966, that’s 52 hours you skipped in the positive direction. It DST wasn’t invented, it would currently be Friday, October 25, 2018 at 5:00 A.M. You would have the whole weekend ahead of you to learn some basics. You missed church and the Red Sox coming from behind and beating the Dodgers last night.
So alas, since you lost 52 hours and gained 52 hours since 1966, for most of us the current year is 2018, however in your case, you’re still in 1966 which is a good thing. You can now pay more attention in school and learn some simple thinking skills. And quit watching Bewitched, Batman and Get Smart on tv!
Californians voted 3 YEAR ago to stay on DSTime, but politicians didn't make it a law.🤔😳😠
My state decided years ago that we should stop with the clock changes. Okay t hasn’t happened yet because it can’t be agreed on if it should always be forward or backward. It’s bs
I Love You, I Love It!!!!
You don't lose or gain time, if you fall asleep at 8 and wake at 6, you slept 10 hours. A pound of feather, a pound of bolts. Same same.
See, it's not just me!
It was never just you

In modern times, with 24/7 internet and commerce, changing times is pointless

This kind of ignorance makes me sad for humanity.
Haven't seen this guy in years.👏👏
Yeah, let's protest and make it a NATIONAL holiday.
He's got it backward though. When we spring forward we are going back to standard time. It's the extra hour they give you in the fall that needs to go away.
I have a solution to the Daylight savings time. We set our clocks forward or back every month by 10 minutes. Think about it the first weekend of the month you reset your clocks, by the end of each month you only have to lose or gain ten minutes every month, but it will result in total freaking chaos. No one will be on time to work or school!
Lots of people just pissed they got kids. It was your choice, get over it!
I have had the same time on my bedroom for 22 years. It has two alarms...they're set an hour apart and both are on. The first goes off and I try if its real time or fake time...If it's fake time I get another hours sleep, lucky me...if it's real time the mental exercize has gotten my mind working and it's easier to get up...Works for me and the clock has lasted for over 22 years...Win/Tie/Win...
Oh so much agreement.
I absolutely hate daylight savings time! I grew up in southern Louisiana on standard time. Then the 1970's " oil shortage" happened, and D.S.T was implemented to save energy. That's what we were told anyway. There was no oil shortage. The Arabs simply reduced the supply, thus causing a panic that we were going to run out. Now-a-days, DST is used so rich people have more daylight to play golf, or something like that. It's a pain in the neck, but I know that "the powers that be" won't get rid of it as long as it is profitable to them....
If that is the way you feel, then let's get rid of all time zones and have everybody on "Co-ordinated Universal Time."
Wait til you hear about Barycentric Coordinate Time. All the planets can share a common time zone.

I just found out who invented Daylight Saving Time. The Kaiser in WWI, so Germany could run munitions plants during daylight. They quit after the war. Then in WWII, Hitler started it again, for the same reason.
Do these sound like good reasons for us to be doing it?
That's what I thought.

So I tell them it makes the time the time.
So they ask why do you change it, humans?
So I said I have no idea.

Or, we could celebrate New Year's at 6:00AM one year, Noon the next year, 6:00PM the next year, and then.... Actually, it kind of falls apart after that.

Or re-arrange the whole calendar altogether. Why have one month with 28 days but seven with 31 days? Shorten January and March by one day and make February a regular 30-day month.
@@einundsiebenziger5488 I've got a better idea. Make each month 28 days long, and add a 13th month. That way, every month will divide into four weeks. (Of course, we'll have to add one extra day to the end of the year, but we could just count that as a three-day weekend.)
