Lock The Clock, Time To End The Madness
The aggravating practice of changing our clocks every few months started during World War I, over one hundred years ago. It was created as a way for the United States to save power and fuel and enhance the economy by spurring consumer shopping in the evening.
The practice was halted after the war but was resumed in 1966 after the passage of the ‘Uniform Time Act.” This clock changing madness is part of our tradition of switching from standard time to daylight-saving time. The country will remain in daylight-saving time until the first Sunday of November when we “fall back” to standard time.
