Subtitle: "Daylight Savings as a Rebellion Against Nature."
This is a reissue of DHP episode 198, which was originally published back in early March 2020, only about a week before the covid crap hit the fan.
Join CJ as he discusses:
Where the idea of biannual time changes & Daylight Savings Time (DST) came from historically. (Hint: As is often the case, Woodrow Wilson bears some of the blame.)
Some of the problems, costs, and even dangers of DST
The origin of standardized time zones (which originated more in the private sector) as a contrasting case study
The idea of DST as a rebellion against nature
