Nah I love daylight savings.

The practice of changing the clocks forward has a significantly significant impact on increasing heart attacks and deer collisions.

The practice of ensuring daylight occurs in the day reduces attacks on people in the early and late hours.

Without DST, it'd be dark outside when most people at mu lattitude finish work. They'd be walking home in the dark. What wonderful targets.

Not my problem, I don't drive. I like it when it's brighter outside for longer in the evenings in spring and summer.

I also like when we change the clocks back in the winter. I like that 1 extra hour of sleep that night.

It's brighter for longer in the summer regardless of what your clock says.

I'm also a little irked by how brazenly you proclaim "I don't care if it actually kills people".

Yeah it's brighter for longer and it's brighter for even longer with the time change. I like that.

If I had to care about every single thing that kills people, I'd have to care that stairs kill people. Electricity kills people. Fans kill people. Doors kill people. Tide pods kill people. Hotdogs kills people. Hot water kills people. Water kills people. Dumbells kill people. Stoves kill people. Showers kill people. Bathtubs kill people. Sound kills people. The sun kills people. Candy kills people. Plants kill people. Trees kill people. Fireplaces kill people. And so MANY MANY more things.
