This would be about the only good thing Republicans have done ever if they pass this. Hope they don't let states opt out. When I lived up north by Canada, the logic was "you don't want kids having to walk to/from school when it's dark!!" Okay, so... wow, did you know they could change school hours.

SHUT THE FUCK UP! OKAY? They vote on this every fucking year and it dies in the Senate. Big Clock is going to lobby this shit until I die. Just shut up. Stop talking about it. Daylight Savings will be in the USA for at least another hundred years.

Why not standard time?

Trump just fired the federal election commission and fucks kids. Epstien files.

Lucy removes the football in 3...2...

1. "Allow states to opt out?" Isn't this already something under their control? How is this a federally mandated thing? I mean Arizona already doesn't do it.

2. if its a federal decision just make the change apply everywhere. No one wants every state doing this differently. Think of the poor programmers.

Boo, the permanent time should be standard time, it's standard for a good reason.

Standard Time should be the default. And sadly, we don't even have that. Even our Standard Time has been mucked with. This website is a good source (not mine by the way). https://savestandardtime.com/ Let businesses change their hours instead of making people change clocks.

Standard time is better for health, and much less stupid to have the clock synced to the day cycle

Of the two options they could have standardized on they picked the worst one. This literally defeats the point of noon

As someone who works too damn early, please let's be sensible and do permanent standard time.

I'm sorry Canada, you're usually right, but you're wrong about this

Who even fucking cares anymore? How about demanding proof of life from the Senate Majority Leader? Stop wasting your breath on this bullshit.

Noon should be noon, not 1.

Getting rid of this and getting the u.s. to finally do to metric are my two low bar societal dreams before I die

I'm too lazy to find my years old comment on this but they didn't vote on it because they pocketed it to use as a rider base or ticket.

There is literally no opposition, they wanted to use it to pass other bills or measures at the same time because it has complete bipartisan support.

Congress sucks ass.

Ending the clock change is a great idea. The question becomes, do we want to:

Go the permanent daylight saving route. Be an hour off from the rest of the world adding to the stack of weird and arguably stupid things the USA does different so we can have a bit of light after work instead of questioning why we're working our lives away. Also, drastically increase the number of morning injuries and fatalities, especially among children, as schools will be starting in the dark.

OR

Be sane.

It appears Congress has spoken.

This is just a half measure. They need to fix the tilt of the Earth for a real solution to this problem.

I love living in one of the 2 states that DON'T change time . I absolutely hated it and always thought it was stupid all the back and forth it's only an hour, just leave it at one time (honestly I don't care which). I used to live in the Midwest and the time change was the bane of my existence

Should split the difference and go with a permanent 30 minute offset just to screw with everybody.
