The Spin

Narrative A

The scientific evidence is mounting that the constant changing of the clocks is bad for our health and has been linked to increased traffic collisions and work place injuries. It should be abolished, but the bigger question is whether Trump would be able to make it happen.

Independent

Narrative B

While there are some inconveniences with changing the clocks twice a year, there's plenty of benefits as well. Structuring our days to increase the amount of sunlight we get increases our intake of vitamin D, and has been shown to increase the amount of time we spend exercising and socializing — all of which has important health benefits.
