Summary

This quote humorously explains the concept of daylight savings time by comparing it to the actor Robert Downey Jr. getting out of bed. Just as we "spring forward" by setting the clocks one hour ahead in the spring and "fall back" by setting them one hour back in the fall, the quote suggests that Robert Downey Jr. has a tendency to sleep in and delay getting out of bed, just like the extra hour of sleep gained when we "fall back" during daylight savings time.

The striking point about our model family is not simply the compete-compete, consume-consume style of life it urges us to follow. The striking point, in the face of all the propaganda, is how few Americans actually live this way.
