So,enlighten me: Why is it we have DST?
It's origin dates back to the establishment of time zones in 1918, but was abandoned in 1919. It was again instituted year round during WW II to prompt people's working times to take advantage of more daylight hours. Keep in mind artificial lighting wasn't as prevalent and efficient 50 to 100 years ago as it is today so there was good logic in making the most of daylight hours. DST remains one of the most controversial subjects of modern day America. Here are some good reads.
