Ora de iarnă ascunde o poveste incredibilă: ce legătură au războiul, insectele și bomboanele de Halloween

The history of daylight saving time reveals political and economic motivations, starting from World War I to modern implications. Romania will switch to winter time, gaining an extra hour. Initially introduced to save energy, the practice has faced opposition from farmers who rely on natural light. Benjamin Franklin's early suggestion was satirical, while serious proposals emerged later. The U.S. extended daylight saving time for safety during Halloween. Current energy savings are debated, with the European Commission considering abolishing the seasonal change. The impact on human biology and accident rates remains complex, and many countries, including major powers, do not observe the change. The EU's proposal to end seasonal time changes is stalled due to disagreements among member states.
