The idea behind it goes far beyond kids going to school in the dark. There are many studies found that during the months of standard time, depression is much higher than during DST. Car accidents are also typically higher during standard time due to workers traveling in the dark to and from work.

I work 10 hour shifts so I go to work in the dark and come home in the dark, and I wouldn't say I get depressed but more so unmotivated to do anything. I am the type of person that would rather spend my free time outside playing with the kids or working in the garage and that extra hour of light in the evening makes a big difference.

However this is an argument of personal opinion with pros and cons from both sides. But there are adverse issues with changing time and it would be nice to not have to deal with that anymore.

You know you didn't quote that correctly, right?

Democrats never say "it's all politicians". Because this line is only used by Republicans to deflect criticism of their candidates. It's justification for voting for a candidate you KNOW is awful. You know your candidates suck. But you still vote for them.

That rule would have only applied to Ethanol and Crude oil trains, so it wouldn't have applied to this train.

It also wouldn't have mattered because the train derailed because a wheel axle hotboxed and failed, it didn't have anything to do with braking.

Electronic Pneumatic braking also has its own problems and issues with little advantage on braking using front and rear locomotives.

>Cool, i understand you you favor a certain political party,

No, you think you understand. The only republican I voted for in the last election was Marla Gallo Brown and that was more because the incumbent democrat had been in office for close to 30 yrs. I said republicans have done more because the representatives in the area are republicans.
