The House passed a bill Tuesday that would make daylight saving time permanent. Proponents, including the White House, argued the change would provide more daylight during the times that Americans are most active. The vote was 308-117.

Longitude != Latitude.
I get them confused sometimes but then I just think of Jimmy Buffet…“Changes in attitude…changes in latitude”.
But yes. New England gets doubly-boned for being both on the far North and far East stretches of a very large time zone. Not as boned as, say, Halifax…or maybe Quebec or Montreal…but there’s as many people in just Rhode Island as there are in Nova Scotia.
Think of it like a ladder, the long part of the ladder is the longitude and the ladder rungs are the latitude.
