I fucking hate the changing of the clock for the season. I wish it was banned across the planet. It's stupid and statistically shows it's bad for traffic, deadly to older people, especially men, and generally bad for businesses.

Elaborate on "especially men."

Specifically, I'm assuming they're talking about the change in spring when we lose an hour overnight. That morning is pretty deadly, statistically. The lack of sleep causes car accidents, heart attacks, and strokes. The stress lack of sleep puts on the body is no joke, and when it hits most of the population all at once, people die. And I'm assuming men are more likely to suffer from heart attacks maybe?
