    Not to sound too utilitarian about it, but less people die the day after they add an hour, too, so though more people die after going back an hour the losses cancel out

      As a fellow (mostly) utilitarian, I believe that suffering and joy also need to be taken into consideration. I think suffering wins out when it comes to time changes.
