Daylight Saves Time & Money?

November 6 is officially the greatest day of the year because as Daylight Saving Time ends, we actually gain an hour — and who doesn’t need more time? Yes, the days are getting shorter and you’re probably waking up in darkness (and making your commute in it as well) — but we gain an hour of sleep on Saturday night as Daylight Saving Time (DST) ends at 2 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 6 and Standard Time begins…

Most of the United States begins Daylight Saving Time at 2:00 a.m. on the second Sunday in March and reverts to standard time on the first Sunday in November. In the U.S., each time zone switches at a different time.

In the European Union, Summer Time begins and ends at 1:00 a.m. Universal Time (Greenwich Mean Time). It begins the last Sunday in March and ends the last Sunday in October. In the EU, all time zones change at the same moment.

Why do we change our clocks?

There are several reasons for why we change our clocks twice a year, and why we fall back and spring forward. The following is a list of just some of the primary reasons for changing our clocks on a standard basis:

  • Energy Conservation
  • Increased Productivity (daylight utilization)
  • Decreased Crime Rates
  • Higher Voter Turnouts
  • Fewer Automobile Accidents

ATTENTION: section 179 tax deduction (news alert – section179.org)

According to Section 179 of The Tax Relief… 2010 Act, if a print shop purchases a wide format printer like the Legend 72HUV, they can deduct up to the full purchase amount in the first year – $85,000. In fact, those businesses investing less than $800,000 in qualifying equipment can immediately deduct up to $250,000 (that’s way up from the previous amount of $128,000). Spend over $250,000 that year on equipment and you get an additional 50% deprecation bonus.
