Just an FYI, Farmers OPPOSED it when it was proposed in 1915. It wasn't until 1966 that it was set completely observed by the states that participate in it, now.

In fact, it costs the populous of the US over 1 billion dollars in mistakes made, due to time change, each year. 8.6 million of that was in household electrical cost in the data collected, in 2006.

Good one, Pete Holmes. Chalk one more up for the stupidity of mankind.

Do your homework, or get made fun of, when you run your trap.
