This article is advocating Standard Time (eg: EST) be chosen instead of Daylight Time (eg: EDT) that many other articles have pushed for.

I believe that's where it went wrong in 1974 also. They chose permanently forward and hour - Which is kind of stupid if you're going to make it fixed.

Personally, I'm happy with switching twice a year. It's a small adjustment that fits the summer/winter swings of mid latitudes where I live.

Reminds me of where I live. It was a common trope that we were located well away from any earthquake fault lines until an earthquake destroyed a number of buildings here. Afterwards, the local papers happily reported how there was lots of evidence in the hills and rocks all around of ongoing activity but also past city records of prior events doing damage to dwellings when it was a smaller town. In fact, even the university here has always specialised in earthquake engineering.

It was a known, but public belief almost seemed to bury the history for some odd reason.
