In May, the House Energy and Commerce Committee voted 48-1 in favor of the Sunshine Protection Act. The U.S. Senate voted unanimously in March 2022 to make daylight saving time permanent but the House never took up the measure in the face of opposition. The proposal the House will consider next week would allow states to opt out.
I’m not really sure I understand your comment.
Who is what? Who is experiencing twice as much DST as standard time? The US. And the post is about changing what the US does, so that’s a relevant detail. I don’t really care that Sweden doesn’t do that because nobody is talking about Sweden.
No, not what?
Idk dude, you seem really upset and I can’t really make heads or tails of it.
And regardless of if it’s Sweden or USA, it’s still stupid to have a misaligned clock.
I’m not upset, just annoyed that people choose to be stupid when they know there’s a better choice.
I guess I just don’t see the point of doing it that way. You’re not wrong, but we’re already on DST so much more, so it’s less disruptive to just keep that in place here. What we call the time is arbitrary, even if it wasn’t always that way. I’d rather just go with DST year round than get stuck bickering over whether standard is the better choice and then pass nothing and keep this dumbass system of changing the clocks in November and March every year, fucking up sleep schedules and causing more car crashes and having confusing computer anomalies because our clocks change but theirs don’t.
