there are zero URLs in your text. "Someone named Pocket said so" is not a
strong enough assertion for me to reject every other source citation
I've found.
Start Here
The *Standard Time Act* of 1918, also known as the *Calder Act*, was the
first United States <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States>
federal law implementing Standard time
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_time#North_America> and Daylight
saving time in the United States
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time_in_the_United_States>.^[2]
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Time_Act#cite_note-2> It defined
five time zones for the United States and authorized the Interstate
Commerce Commission
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_Commerce_Commission> to define
the limits of each time zone.
The section concerning daylight saving time was repealed by the act
titled /An Act For the repeal of the daylight-saving law/, Pub. L.
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Law_(United_States)>Tooltip Public
Law (United States) 66–40
<https://uslaw.link/citation/us-law/public/66/40>, 41 Stat.
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Statutes_at_Large> 280
<https://legislink.org/us/stat-41-280>, enacted August 20, 1919, over
President Woodrow Wilson
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodrow_Wilson>'s veto.
Section 264 of the act mistakenly placed most of the state of Idaho
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idaho> (south of the Salmon River
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salmon_River_(Idaho)>) in UTC−06:00
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTC%E2%88%9206:00> CST (Central Standard
Time <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Standard_Time>), but was
amended in 2007 by Congress to UTC−07:00
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTC%E2%88%9207:00> MST (Mountain Standard
Time <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_Standard_Time>).^[3]

was observed prior to the correction.
