Why Daylight Saving Time? Retailer Lobbyists.

"The powerful retail lobby, particularly recreation, bbq, and home and gardening remains invested in keeping DST. Longer nights mean people have more time to shop and go to baseball games (and use more gas—further cutting into the alleged energy savings)..... each year the convenience store lobby (a large supplier of gas) gives out gift bags to Congress to celebrate DST..... every 20 years the federal government adds another month of DST—the last one in 2005, in part, because the sugar lobby wanted to extend trick or treating hours. And each time we extend DST, America becomes more out of sync with the rest of the world.
The anti-DST movement doesn’t have the organization to compete with the retail lobby. The American economy has changed since the early days of DST. Now, retailers wield more power than the traditional voice of opposition, farmers....by 2000 more Americans lived on golf courses than farms."

In short, citizenry counts less than lobbyists once again.
