U.S. Senate approves bill that would make Daylight Savings Time permanent in 2023

Works for me, I hate switching back and forth.
 
If the DST bill becomes law, Arizona here will need to move from the Mountain Time Zone to the Pacific Time Zone.
 
kids in the future...


"teacher, are you saying they use to just change the clocks??"
 
Agree

Europe nor the Middle East use day light savings. It has no place in the modern world.
 
Arizona would be able to stay on Standard time year round, which would essentially put this state to the Pacific Time Zone.

Two states have passed measures to stay on standard time — Arizona and Hawaii. Both congressional bills would allow states to stay on standard time if they adopted the time change before the Sunshine Protection Act went into effect.
 
As someone who has an extensive collection of 37 watches I welcome this. What a pain, in addition to appliances.
 
Like going back and forth? I'm gonna have to report this post now
 
I detest DST, put it on standard time and keep it there, do you really want children walking to school in the dark?
Yeah, why not just keep it on standard time all year? Makes no sense to me to ever be on DST, or change clocks.
 

I agree with this. You would think because Florida is the southern-most continental state, moving from Ohio made winter days longer. Nope - sunset is still early at the beginning and end of each year.

In case people are wondering, Arizona and Hawaii are the two states that do not honor DST. This is a problem in Arizona because one of its Native American tribes does honor it and Hoover Dam is right on the border with Nevada. I went to Hoover Dam once. On the property, there are two grandfather clocks - one in each state - that are sometimes the same and sometimes an hour apart.
 
Oh it was a good time .. . and if i recall correctly this went on for at least a year or two he made these claims and was dead serious . . .it was mind-boggling somebody could be that stupid but also type

Be careful there. I know a learning-disabled person who types because she can't talk or write.
 
Good, I hate time change. What's holding this up in the house. This is purely non-political. Get it passed and signed
 
LOL, so much hatred...

Just for this, I'm going to work harder to convince more people to write to their congressmembers to request that they pass a bill to make standard time the new normal, which would conflict with the Senate bill, causing chaos to ensue as they fight back and forth about which should be the time we go to.
 


You know who does this? A socialist..

We need mod action now!

Technically anything that reaches the house or senate is political. Standing for the pledge is political.
 
I was thinking an anarchist, or follower of Ian Malcolm. Embrace the chaos.

Yeah but we label everything we don't like as socialism these days.
