Personally, the idea of daylight savings time puzzles me. The idea of starting the day earlier to save energy/money, is a puzzling concept to me. If it really made sense, people would just do so. Unfortunately, if you're the first, you incur losses associated with having different office hours. So the state steps in. In a free economy people can't tell you when to open and close your business but the power to decide what time it is rests with the government and they choose to exercise it. So, does daylight savings actually save energy? I don't think it would have been extended if it didn't.
So, question now is what is this a symptom of? Too much inertia in the system to operate efficiently? I don't know.
