The House Energy and Commerce Committee overwhelmingly approved the Sunshine Protection Act by a 48-1 vote on Thursday. If passed, the measure would likely be implemented as part of a five-year transportation bill

    Imagine if this becomes Trumps version of Hitlers “but he built the autobahn”. The one good thing he did that people in the future will use to make it look like he “wasnt all bad”.

    So this idiot wants DST to be the standard, instead of the actual Standard time. Typical trump fucking up a good idea. In 1974 we did this and people HATED it. The whole planet should be on Standard time. If you need to change hours so your business is open more during daylight, change your damn Winter hours, don’t expect an entire nation to change the clock.

      That’s the plan Congress has been tossing around for years. It’s always staying on Daylight time for some stupid reason.

    No, give us permanent DST, during winter half the country drives home from work watching the sun set.

    Edit: wait that’s what he’s doing. Even malicious and incompetent people accidely do something good occasionally.

        Exactly, permanent DST buys you an extra hour of daylight in the evening, at the cost of having to do morning stuff with 1 hour earlier levels of sunlight.

            NYC is north of most of America. The earliest the sun sets is 430, itll be 530. So yeah in the absolute worst case, northern people in the dead of winter, they will drive home as the sun sets instead of at night. But later in the year and further south, it will give you meaningful time at home during daylight. I do kinda wonder if itll increase car accidents for people who drive to New Jersey after work.

                I haven’t been in America for a year and a half, but the data says otherwise. Are you in a cloudy area?

    I’m just wondering what happened to all the daylight that we did save up over the years?
