Capitalist Candy: A Halloween Spectacular

        Ok, so this is going to sound like a crazy conspiracy theory, so just bear with me here. Okay? Okay. Remember the little shift in daylight savings time in 2007? If you don't, Congessed passed a bill called "the energy policy act."And  now instead of ending the week of October, daylightsavings now ends the first week of November. And it was all to make you buy more candy. 

                   Capitalist swine

        Alright, so the whole peropose of the "energy policy act" was, as you may have guessed, to have America conserve more energy. And even though there is no actual proof that the bill would work (in fact there was evidence to the contrary) the bill was passed. Why? 

      On a completely unrelated note, did you know that the candy industry can make over $2 billion per Halloween? 

      Ok I lied. The above statement was not unrelated. The biggest groups pushing for the bill to pass were in the candy industry. Giving kids another hour of candy gathering time would result in a small fortune for them. And it did. And still does. The end.

      And that's the story of how the candy industry controlled time. 

        I'm pretty sure this would make

        a great Disney movie starring

        Scrooge McDuck.
