The clocks fell back, and the debate over Daylight Saving Time is heating up again. But why are we still changing our clocks twice a year? From a bug collector and two world wars to a controversial experiment in 1974, the history of Daylight Saving Time is stranger than you might think. America tried ending the clock changes once before. So why didn't it last? In this episode of Flyover Focus, Amy explores how Daylight Saving Time began, why Congress can't agree on a solution, and the three ways the time change could finally end. Would you give up an hour of winter morning sunlight to keep longer evenings? Watch the full episode to discover the surprising history behind the clock change. What do you think? 💬 WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU: Where do you land on this debate? Should we go with permanent Daylight Saving Time, permanent Standard Time, or stick with the twice-a-year switch?
