This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Who makes money off of Daylight Savings Time?

I don't know, but I know someone is making a fortune off of it somehow and I want to know who. It's the only explanation

The real question is, how can the rich make money off of changing this? As soon as someone figures that out, I'm sure it will change.
