Richard Nixon tried to end daylight savings time in 1970s and kids got hit by trucks walking to school in the dark so Congress stopped it quick as they could what is wrong with these freaking MAGAs?

I remember laughing with my dad as we watched the news stories about this. Google it and this is what you get:

The 1974 Year-Round Experiment

The Energy Crisis: President Nixon signed the Emergency Daylight Saving Time Energy Conservation Act on December 15, 1973, to save fuel during the Arab oil embargo. [1, 2, 3]
The New Schedule: The plan pushed clocks forward starting January 6, 1974, for a multi-year trial giving extra daylight to late afternoons. [1, 2]
The Backlash: Winter sunrises in some areas did not happen until after 9 a.m., forcing children to walk to school and adults to commute in pitch darkness. [1]
The Repeal: After a sharp drop in public approval and reports of traffic accidents involving children, Congress ended the experiment early, and President Gerald Ford signed a bill returning the country to standard winter time in October 1974. [1, 2, 3]
