In May, the House Energy and Commerce Committee voted 48-1 in favor of the Sunshine Protection Act. The U.S. Senate voted unanimously in March 2022 to make daylight saving time permanent but the House never took up the measure in the face of opposition. The proposal the House will consider next week would allow states to opt out.
SHUT THE FUCK UP! OKAY? They vote on this every fucking year and it dies in the Senate. Big Clock is going to lobby this shit until I die. Just shut up. Stop talking about it. Daylight Savings will be in the USA for at least another hundred years.
It passed in the Senate. It died in the house.
I imagine it’ll be the same when they federally legalize weed. Each chamber will take turns killing it for decades.
^^^^ Legitimately one of the funniest things I’ve read in a long time.

I didn’t even say anything!
Dude, what did he say?! Shut up!
It’s actually been gaining steam over the past 5-ish years. If it dies in the end, it’s because people can’t agree which time should be permanent.
MAGAs have been pushing it because it’s one of the few innocuous issues they’ve got that isn’t a human rights atrocity.
People in America can’t even agree on voting for a pedo or not. What makes you think they could agree on a timezone?
