History of Daylight Savings: 'Just Gimme the Light'

It’s that time of year that we all hate when the sunsets at 5pm- its actually quite depressing. Every year, twice a year, most Americans switch all the clocks forward, or backward, one hour for daylight saving time (DST) beginning and ending.  BUT why do we shift time twice a year? And who came up with this? Cause I want to speak to management. 

Listen to this quick  20-minute solo solo episode. were our host answers these questions:

Who the hell proposed DST ?When did Daylights saving time start?Why falling back might not be such a good idea? (Like duh I can think of a couple reasons off the top of my head)What states and countries that don’t participate in DST? And  what states are trying to be set free from it?What would life be like if we just got rid of the whole damn thing?- Based on research of course.

Tune in now wherever you listen to podcast. 

Where I get my info from:

The Real Reason Why Daylight Saving Time Is a ThingWhat Would Happen If We Got Rid of Daylight Saving Time?South Carolina passed a bill to end daylight saving time. Will we still 'fall back' this year?
