Congress might make daylight saving time permanent.

[rto]

The House of Representatives on Tuesday passed a bill that would make daylight saving time permanent throughout the United States, marking a major step forward in a longstanding effort to end the time changes Americans endure twice a year. The bill, called the Sunshine Protection Act, must now be approved by the Senate before it can become law.

Thune will probably shoot it down.

I remember asking my Mom about daylight savings time when I was just a little kid. I'm still confused.

Me: Why do we have to change the clocks?
Mom: So the farmers will have more sunlight to plant their crops.
Me: Why don't the farmers just wake up an hour sooner?
Mom: Hurry up. You'll be late for the school bus.

SOP for the RINOCRATS to focus on petty shit instead of working on bills like the SAVE act, stripping birthright citizenship, etc.

I think there are more important things than changing the time the sun rises, which still happens at the same time.

Agreed and it has been tried before

I'm 73 now and can remember when I was a little boy, my grandfather, who was a farmer, said "I don't understand this standard time and daylight time. When I was young there was just TIME."

A lot of farmers have to work

a regular job too…The extra hour

of sunlight sure helps, instead of

getting home when it is dark…

They need to pick a lane and stay in it.

just a dog and pony show so looks like they doing something the Save act will never pass and birthright citizenship is a done deal both sides want it

I'm glad someone is finally getting rid of daylight savings time. It has been a constant annoyance for decades. I realize there are more important issues in the world today, but why not knock out a quick project?
