https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/15/politics/senate-daylight-saving-time-permanent/index.htmlThe Senate on Tuesday passed a measure that would make Daylight Saving Time permanent across the United States. The Sunshine Protection Act passed the chamber by unanimous consent. The bill would still need to pass the House and be signed by President Joe Biden to become law. If the measure clears Congress and is signed into law, it would mean no more falling back every year in the fall. CNN has reached out to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office for comment on when or if the House will take up the bill and did not immediately receive a response.
Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, a sponsor of the legislation, said he doesn't have any assurance the House will take it up, but "it's an idea whose time has come."
Democratic Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, who was presiding at the time of the bill's consideration and who represents Arizona, a state that doesn't observe Daylight Saving Time, could be heard on the mic saying "Ooh, I love it." Following its passage, she let out a "Yes!"
The bill has bipartisan backing including several Republican and Democratic cosponsors. "You'll see it's an eclectic collection of members of the United States Senate in favor of what we've just done here in the Senate, and that's to pass a bill to make Daylight Savings Time permanent," said Rubio in remarks on the Senate floor. "Just this past weekend, we all went through that biannual ritual of changing the clock back and forth and the disruption that comes with it. And one has to ask themselves after a while why do we keep doing it?"
"If we can get this passed, we don't have to keep doing this stupidity anymore," added Rubio. Sen. Roy Blunt, a Missouri Republican, expressed support for the bill after being told it had passed. "I just think the extra hour at the end of the day consistently is better than having it dark when kids go to school and dark when kids get home," he said.

This means we wont have to reset the clocks on our feeders ever again!! Those deer and hogs need to know when to show up. The cows never leave. We had a guy at the lease that was hell bent on changing the feeder times when we return to regular time in the fall. He would call me and ask me to change them if he couldn't make it. He was afraid that the feeders would be feeding in the middle of the night, what a goober.

This means we wont have to reset the clocks on our feeders ever again!! We never do. We just leave them on CST. Time does not matter. Only sunrise/sunset matters. I have one clock and my thermostat that switch automatically. This means I will have to change 2 versus 6.

Adding an hour in the morning would put sunrise at about 8:15 - 8:30 in the colder months. That is here in San Antonio, northern states you can add to that. That would suck. And that is what got this idea removed when they tried this in the mid '70s. If I understand correctly.

I wish they made regular time permanent. Not me. It is hard enough to get up at 4:00 to make the drive to Texoma.

Why not split the difference and move the time back 1/2 hour this fall and leave it there year round?

Honestly this would be the best idea to me as well but getting lifer politicians to agree on something this simple would have about as much luck as having Colt 45 leave and never come back. Some things are simply to much to ask for,
