I'll search for the link as well, but yeah it's been shown without a doubt that DST does pretty much nothing about what it was originally designed for.

That's ridiculous. Daylight Savings Time was promoted heavily by Benjamin Franklin as a way to cut down on the number of candles burned. And considering we use way less candles now than we did before I'd say it's been a resounding success.
