The U.S. Senate voted unanimously Tuesday to make Daylight Saving Time permanent, a move supporters say would make winter afternoons brighter and end the twice changing of clocks.

The measure still needs approval from the U.S. House of Representatives and the backing of President Joe Biden. On Sunday, most of the United States resumed Daylight Saving Time, moving ahead one hour. The United States will resume standard time in November 2022.

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said after input from airlines and broadcasters that supporters agreed that the change would not take place until November 2023.

Don't get your hopes up.  I'm sure there's discrimination in this .... somewhere.   

[DefiantMassRINO]

Really?  This is the nonsense that concerns them.  How about solving REAL problems, you Congressional dinks!

[Kamaji]

Just get it done and passed.  I cannot stand the constant clock-changing.

I do know years ago, daylight savings times was passed in FL and we're still having to change our darn clocks!!!  Leave the time alone!

I have a Hallmark Beauty of the Birds cuckoo clock that is a pain in the bootie to change!

[Smokin Joe]

These people need to get a real job.

But what about all the little school kids waiting for the school bus in the dark some will say.

It took me 20 min to change  the clock in my car yesterday.  They said it was so easy a 12 y/o could do it.  I could find a 12 y/o anywhere outside.  They were all inside on their play stations.

They either have their own phones, or they're standing with a parent/guardian who has a phone or a flashlight!

I am sure glad that congress could get such important legislation thru without interfering with their vacations...

Standard time is a sign of the colonialist white patriarchy and it objectifies the transgendered, or something.

It oppresses non-sighted people.

Oh great.  Another Windows patch.

Arizona now enters the Pacific Time zone all year round.

Those of you who live in the South and/or in the middle of a time zone don't realize the utility of changing the clocks because it doesn't really help you.

But if you live far north of the equator, especially in the far east or west of a time zone - you appreciate the value of the seasonal change.

Example: I live in New Hampshire - eastern part of the time zone - pretty far north. If we had year-round Standard Time, then in late May and June, the sky would get light in the morning at around 3:45am. Hard to sleep.  Conversely, if we had DST all year, in late December and January, it wouldn't get light in the morning until 8:15-8:30am.

I know some folks may have a preference, but the thought of not having to jack with clocks twice a year is pretty appealling to me.

And me!

I wonder how much time gets wasted on clock changing per year in this country.  Must be millions of manhours.

Hey they're just trying to do something to justify that 21% salary increase. Somehow I don't think it's going to make people any less pissed that the people telling us to just suck it up are actually sucking up more of our tax dollars for doing jack shiite!!

The Democratics and the Great Reseters may be planning to move us to Metric Time instead.
