The US House voted Tuesday to pass a measure to enact year-round Daylight Saving Time across the country, springing Congress forward into an issue that has long stumped lawmakers and spurred impassioned pleas by parents, farmers and others with sharply divergent views.
It will now head to the Senate for approval before going to the president for his signature — though its chances in the upper chamber remain unclear.
Permanent DST is more popular as most are evening people
Yeah but I like my evenings dark. Do you know how hard it is to get a 6 year old kid to agree that it’s bedtime when the sun’s still up? They’re not stupid, dad!

Poor you! We need to structure the world to benefit the parents of young children!
How dare someone have an opinion on a topic informed by how it will personally impact them.
They should just pick a stance based on vibes alone or just do what you want. That would be easier
It personally impacts me bro. I have teenage kids they’re grumpy with not enough sleep. We should make daylight savings 2 hours.
And that would have been a very valid point to raise. It’s a good point even, but just a blanket statement of judgement because someone has an opinion informed by their circumstances is unproductive
Exactly, the significant majority of people hate the sun going down extra early in winter. The winter is so depressing with so much darkness, we especially need to maximize how much sunlight see in winter
Honestly having darkness until 8 or 9 in the morning would be great for sleeping in during Christmas break.
