Daylight Savings Health Problems?
Timothy Birdnow
Oh balogna!
Changing clocks for Daylight Saving Time linked to potentially deadly brain condition threatening 300,000 Americans
I get why people don't like switching the clock,butthese days health nazis make every issue into some sort of health emergency with specious data and outlandish, unprovable claims.
I wish we would get back to actual science. The Western world has done precisely what Nietzche warned was coming; science has dug up it's own fundamental principles and rejected them. Now all science is "political" insofar as it serves an end rather than is science for science' sake. And since novelty gets noticed every bit of "research" is aimed at some sort of new and wild conclusion that will get noticed, while at the same time acting to support core principles of the funders of science, who just so happen to be government and the Rruling Class.
It's just like eugenics back in the day; that served the Ruling Class at the time, arguing that some were "more fit" than others and therefore should be given special privileges. That was junk science then and we've had nothing but junk science ever since to no small degree.
I've heard atheists call religion superstition and say we need "more science" yet science has become increasingly superstition and falseclaims and belief over reason. What do they mean by "science"? The orthodoxy, which produces results desired by the funders of the research? Or real science which looks first to the universe and then draws conclusions from that?
Certainly we don't have that these days. We have climate science which does not comport with actual events on the ground but rather is a series of models. We have science telling us there are multiple "genders" when in fact it's crystal clear there are just two, and anyone claiming otherwise is a liar or mad. I could go on.
We have to stop lying to ourselves because we want a certain outcome.
The Stanford study argues the changes in circadium rhythm causes strokes.
I used to work not just swing shifts but at all hours; I'd have to be in a six a.m. one day, then work overnight the next, then in the evenin the evening the next, then a mid shft.It sucked and I was always tired but it didn't kill me. That was far worse than one single shift in six months.
I'm not saying it's a picnic, but I am saying people need to suck it up. I doubt there are any health consequences at all, and it there were we'd have noticed them by now.
I call B.S.

It's too late at night for me to read what promises to be a Mickey Mouse article, but I'm assuming it all boils down to a matter of the Left wanting "Science" to provide a reason for the gummint to weaken us further. Further than they already did with their Covid vaccines and whatnot. Yes, every time we go on and off Daylight Savings Time it messes with our circadian rhythms, but only for an hour each time and if we are so weak that an hour is gonna mess us up, well gee, we need more than one RFK Jr.! I already mess my sleep cycle up enough sitting up dealing with this blog!

My previous remark about RFK Jr. may have been unclear. I meant that if the government thinks we are so weak that we can't stand to deal with a one-hour time switch twice a year, I guess we need more than one of Bobby Kennedy's PT regimens to toughen us up.

Amen Dana.
Yeah; if we are so pampered we can't deal with one hour change then what does that say about us?
Personally,Iwish we would stay on DST permanently; I hate it getting dark at 4:30 in December. But I get it; people who have things to doearly in the morning want the sun to come up before 7:30, and we don't want kids waiting for school buses in the dark.
I remember in the seventies when we did DSLyear round to save electricity. Kids had to use flashlights to go to the bus stop. Now of course it'sfar too dangerous to risk that. Back then it was reasonably safe.
