Trump champions bid to nix clock changes by adopting permanent daylight saving time

[rto]

President Donald Trump is championing the prospect of putting the kibosh on twice-annual clock changes by making daylight saving time permanent.

A bill to make daylight saving time permanent has been folded into a larger measure that the House Energy and Commerce Committee advanced in a 48-1 vote on Thursday.

"Big Vote today (48-1!) in the Energy and Commerce Committee on a Bill including The Sunshine Protection Act, which will be making Daylight Saving Time Permanent!

Finally a POTUS that might actually do something about the time changes. Had Washington been paying attention to the DDB this would have been done over 20 years ago.

I remember as a little kid asking my Mom about daylight savings time. It was something she didn't understand either, but tried to explain as best she could. This is kinda how I remember the conversation going:

Me: Why are we changing the clocks?
Mom: So the farmers have one more hour of light to plant their crops.
Me: Changing the clocks makes the sun shine longer?
Mom: Yes. That's right. It will give all of us an extra hour of daylight.
Me: What happens if we don't change the clocks?
Mom: You would miss the school bus and be standing alone in pitch darkness while the rest of the world is bathed in warmth and light.

Democrats will oppose it because Trump wants it.

I like the idea, but I think there are more important issues President Trump needs to focus on.
