every year, it takes me like 45 min to figure out how to change the clock in my car. Screw it .. it will be correct in a few months.

Ben Franklin's Joke
Writer, inventor and American founding father Ben Franklin is often credited (or blamed) for starting daylight saving time. He apparently joked that the people of Paris should be home and in bed as soon as the sun set because horse-drawn coaches -- taxis -- should be banned from the streets at night. He took his facetiousness further by saying the citizens of the City of Lights should be awakened every morning by a blast of cannon fire, and that anyone shuttering their windows from sunrise would be taxed.
Franklin was writing with his well-known dry wit. He loved Paris and traveled there frequently. But somehow, his suggestions about going to bed early and rising early planted the notion that he was behind this whole business of changing our clocks to match the sunrise and sunset.
In reality, Englishman William Willett, an avid outdoorsman, gets the credit for all this clock adjusting. The Victorian-era builder and pamphleteer felt that people were missing the best part of every summer day and argued strongly for daylight saving. One of the primary points of his argument was that adjusting our clocks would save money and resources since people would be using artificial lights less if they were up and working when the Sun was up.

There are several states that do NOT use it. Imagine what happens if you have a job in the next state where it does change. Going back and forth must make you nuts.  ALSO ANYONE WHO TRAVELS RT.287 KNOWS THAT TRAFFIC WILL NOW BACK UP FOR MILES (@ 5:00 pm) BECAUSE NOBODY KNOWS HOW TO DRIVE WITH THEIR LIGHTS ON!

Until April 2005, when Indiana passed a law agreeing to observe daylight saving time, the Hoosier state had its own unique and complex time system. Not only is the state split between two time zones, but until recently, only some parts of the state observed daylight saving time while the majority did not.
|
We had a vendor in Indiana and they never changed their computer system clocks so it was odd.

pretty sure it started so that farmers had more light to harvest crops/work later in the farming months

It was originally designed for energy conservation during WW1 I think.
