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.

    They’ll fuck it up and pick the wrong time, and it will be dark at 4:30 PM for the rest of our lives.

    In 50 years, they’ll try to switch to the other time, but Conservatives will fight it because they think they’ll lose two hours, and they’ll literally threaten a Civil War over two hours, then someone will try to explain that they’ll actually GAIN two hours, and they’ll say it’s a Communist hoax with their two Socialist hours, just handing them out to people who don’t deserve them, like the welfare queens just helping themselves to as many hours as the Demon-rats can steal from the billionaires who have more hours than everybody else combined.

    So they’ll compromise, and go back to switching times twice a year to keep NOBODY happy, and America can go back to normal.
