https://news.yahoo.com/senate-passes-bill-daylight-savings-191651195.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall In a surprise move on Tuesday, the Senate passed legislation making daylight saving time, which began this week, permanent for the entire United States. The bill, titled the “Sunshine Protection Act,” was co-sponsored by Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.). It passed unanimously. Rubio cited increased heart attacks and car accidents during standard time as reasons the country should do away with clock-switching, in addition to people enjoying more sunlight at the end of the day for things like sports. “Pardon the pun, but this is an idea whose time has come,” Rubio said Tuesday as he asked the Senate to pass the bill.

This would be awesome. Would let me wake up later to go duck hunting. Get in a few more after work hunts. Have time to do chores in the afternoon.

Not law yet but hopefully it will be
Gustaf Kilander Tue, March 15, 2022, 2:16 PM·3 min read The US Senate has passed a bill to make Daylight Savings Time permanent.
The Sunshine Protection Act was passed by unanimous consent on Tuesday.
“I’m hoping that after today, [the bill] will go over to the House, they’ll act quickly on it. I know it’s not one of the most important issues confronting America, but it’s one of those issues where there’s a lot of agreement. And I think a lot do people wonder why it took so long to get here,” Mr Rubio added.
The Florida Senator said that if the bill is passed in the House and signed by President Joe Biden, the change would be delayed to November 2023 because “the airlines, the rails, transportation methods, others, have already built out schedules based on the existing ... timeline”.
“The good thing is that if we can get this passed, we don’t have to keep doing this stupidity anymore ... pardon the pun, but this is an idea whose time has come,” Mr Rubio quipped in conclusion.

Because not doing it is stupid. Kids ain't milking cows before school anymore. Letting everyone have a later sunrise, and later sunset is a good thing. It's at least better than what we are doing. That December 21, dark at 5:20 pm is terrible!

Does this require bipartisan support to pass? Because I have zero faith in that actually happening.

I'm all in favor of DST year round, but the teachers unions may kill it. I'm not sure what their reasoning is, but they've opposed it in the past and they're one of the democrat's biggest special interest groups (also called donors).
Silver spurs and gold tequila keep me hanging on. Pretty girls and old cantinas give me shelter from the storm.

It makes sense to pass it, which leads me to believe that it is not going to pass.

So if this passes there will be no more switching back to standard time in the winter. I like light in the morning. I would prefer standard time.

I could care less if we do DST or standard time. I just don't want to switch back and forth all the damn time!

As long as Trump doesn't say he likes it or is in support of it.....it will have a chance to pass.
Otherwise....Dems will kill it (just because).

Somewhere this will be racist, won't set well with LGBQ community, illegal aliens won't go for it, American Indians will be upset, white privilege people will be blamed and the list goes on and on.
