DST was first used extensively in war, but I do not believe any of the official excuses for it, although it does benefit some activities at the expense of others. The main reason for the state’s foisting it on us is love of control. True, the state is all about redistribution, but pols and crats live to order us around. Indeed, next to killing people, foreign and domestic, it is their favorite recreation.
