8 The Monday after Daylight Savings Time.
Why it should be a public holiday: This is universally the hardest day of the year for people to get up and go to work… one study says the day’s a lost cause anyway (with $434 million in lost productivity)… it’s clear the government still isn’t ready to get rid of the time changes, so at least throw us a bone.
Why it should not be a public holiday: “People be sleepy” probably isn’t enough to warrant a day off… probably makes more sense and would be easier just to move the time change to 2:00 A.M. Saturday from 2:00 A.M. Sunday.
