Yes. In the 1970s. People hated it so much it only lasted 1 year.

From wiki...

From January 6, 1974, to October 1974, Congress passed the Emergency Daylight Saving Time Energy Conservation Act in response to the 1973 oil embargo. This was intended to save energy, but the public quickly grew to hate the dark, freezing winter mornings (particularly for children going to school). Congress amended the law to end the year-round experiment early.

I can tolerate the month or so of it.

This is the key.. We are discussing this issue in late May .


Ive said for years, to anyone who would listen- the only way this thing gets changed is consistency.. NOT just bitching and moaning about the time change in the two week period twice a year around the time it happens, and then everyone just forgets.. human nature, and all that


Me, i was never really all that bothered by the time change , i could take it or leave it.. hell, i dont even live in America anymore, so im just whatever.. but it’s nice to see a little follow up on the brief period of bitching and moaning i hear twice a year .
