Daylight "savings" time is kind of like income tax. Near the beginning of the year, the government takes an hour from all of us. Then, several months later, our efficient bureaucrats graciously give those confiscated hours back to us. And, just as inflation diminishes the value of our refunded tax dollar, so our returned hour is now worth less because we are older and time is moving faster.
Do you know what they do with those extorted millions of hours? I don't. Our trusty public servants certainly aren't spending that time in areas where they need to speed up operations, like the DMV or the post office. I don't know where the savings is, but I'm pretty sure we're not the recipients.
