We still have farmers? :oops:

btw, daylight savings was started by Ben Franklin to save on candles. Not farmers or the like. Although i think farmers in AZ got DLST removed or something?? Is that what you are going on about Hostile?

Franklin introduced it but only Europe caught on. It originally pissed off farmers when it was first introduced in 1918, but it came back as "war time" during WWII. Then it was standardized in 1966 but re-adjusted in the 80's.
