A group of US senators from both parties have submitted a bill to make daylight saving time permanent throughout most of the US.
Currently, daylight saving time is observed from March through November in most of the US, except for most of Arizona and Hawaii. Under the proposal, Arizona would be in the Pacific time zone all year, and Hawaii would be six hours behind the eastern time zone. The bill would also eliminate the need to change clocks twice a year.
The legislation, if approved, would give most of America additional evening daylight in the winter months, but would reduce the amount of morning sunlight during daylight standard time.
Five Republican and three Democratic senators are co-sponsoring the legislation.
it’s about time.
Yes, it is about time.
I’m all for it!
How will we know when to change the batteries in our smoke detectors?
Are some people so ignorant that they think they can “save” time just by moving the hands on a clock dial?
Saying goes… only in America do people think you can make a blanket longer by cutting off the bottom and sewing it to the top.
Long over due! Can’t believe the Congressional fossils will approve this with their very old mindsets.
I will believe it when it no longer gets dark at 445pm in December!
They tried that many years ago but it didn’t work Wound up with little kids waiting for the school bus in the dark during the winter months.
And there it is again. Its all about the kids. Tell me, where have the kids been going during last year? Not to the bus stop.
Wake up and embrace the change.
In Alaska kids go to school in the dark all the time.
