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.)

The idea of DST as a rebellion against nature

DHP Ep. 278: DHP Villains: Woodrow Wilson, Pt. 14

In this installment of the Woodrow Wilson series, he gets us into war.

Join CJ as he discusses Woodrow Wilson’s presidency from late-1916 through early April of 1917, when he gives one of the most famous and (tragically) influential speeches in American history, asking Congress to pass a war resolution against Germany in order to make the world safe for democracy & create the League of Nations, a resolution passed by huge margins in both Houses, despite strong public opinion to the contrary.
