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.

    Yeah fuck this I work early morning and I don’t need the sun in the mornings, especially when that trade off is it gets dark at 4:30 pm in the winter up where I am. Fuck that. I get off work and I get an hour or less of sunlight?! It’s so depressing. It’s not like the sun makes it any warmer when it’s -30 degrees and it’s too low to even hit me so no body heat or my car so no defrost… Give me my 9:30 sunset and wake up in the dark please and thank you

      I… if the sun currently sets at 4:30 in the winter then permanent daylight time would only push that back to 5:30, hardly sounds like a significant difference to me.

        When it’s the only time I have to spend with sunlight every second matters. I would just prefer it in the evening when I have more leisure time
