DOGE leaders Musk and Ramaswamy float ditching daylight saving time
- Sen. Marco Rubio has been at the forefront of trying to "lock the clock," as he puts it. He has introduced legislation to try to make daylight saving time permanent. It's called the Sunshine Protection Act and he reintroduced in 2023. Congress hasn't passed the bill.
The article from Deseret News discusses the ongoing debate over Daylight Saving Time (DST) in the United States, highlighting the recent legislative efforts to make DST permanent. It mentions the Sunshine Protection Act, which has been reintroduced in Congress to end the biannual clock changes. The piece explores the arguments for and against permanent DST, including benefits like more evening daylight for outdoor activities and potential energy savings, versus drawbacks such as disruptions to sleep patterns and concerns from farmers and other early risers. The article also touches on public opinion, with polls showing a majority of Americans favoring the elimination of clock changes, though there's division on whether to stick with standard time or DST year-round. Additionally, it notes that some states have already passed laws to adopt permanent DST if Congress allows it, reflecting a broader national conversation on the relevance and impact of time changes in modern society.
