The Misery of Day Light Savings Time

https://fee.org/articles/daylight-saving-began-as-war-time/

A few quotes, "government’s attempts at controlling time and the implementation of daylight saving time was started to support war. Daylight saving time (DST) or “Fast Time” as it was first introduced in the United States in 1918 was signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson in order to support World War I. Seven months later it was repealed by the majority of the states. Until President Franklin D. Roosevelt instituted year-round “War Time” in 1942. That’s right, even daylight saving time was instituted and enforced to promote war."

"There are also parallels between government’s control and manipulation of time and currency. Regardless of the government's manipulation, changing the time of day does not mean that there's more time in a day, nor does printing more dollars mean an increase in buying power. In fact, government intervention in time and currency creates more problems than anything."
