The Senate passed the Sunshine Protection Act which would make daylight saving time permanent across the U.S. beginning in 2023.

SenTinaSmith amyklobuchar … you know that the Sunshine Protection Act will keep over half of MN in the dark until 9am for almost 2 months of the year, right 🥺🥺 Standard time is where it’s at!!! DaylightSavingTime StandardTime

They got it all wrong… as always

Standard time makes better sense to me. Who cares if it is still light at 9PM...but sticking to one is a welcome change.

About time!

I’m so excited that we might finally be doing this. I don’t care if we pick Standard or Daylight Savings Time as long as we don’t have to change times twice a year. 👍👍👍

USA marching ahead to the 19th century. Keep saving those candles, y'all.

Why not just split the difference between standard and daylight time by permanently shifting the clock by 30 minutes?

NEXT - get rid of the penny!

WHY?!?!?!?!!!?!?!?!?!?!?

Yahoo they took an hour from us

POVERTY IS A POLICY CHOICE $15hr Living Wage = CANCELED Allowing the Child Tax Credit to expire effectively doubled US Child poverty

It's about time.

I for one am happy to switch my clocks twice a year. It’s not difficult. I work very early so I rose early and go to sleep early. I’m adjusted already. Why do people find this to be too difficult?

Personally, I'd prefer standard time year round, but recognize many would prefer daylight saving time, compromise seems the best option... move the clocks a half hour, and leave them there.

Congress coming together only to major in the minor. This is a failed path they have ventured along and I fully expect to see us once more observing Standard Time within a year.

It’s to close to April to believe this yet.

Have to love the name of that law…. How does it protect sunshine? Does it have a provision about dissolving clouds?

This is a sick and twisted liberal agenda

Badgergrrrl Health wise Standards better. So say what's really going on The Chamber Of Commerce lobbied this to get people to spend more money after work. They have a choice, and btw I hate clock change, Improve health or money for businesses. Which do you expect they'll choose?

Please POTUS RepBonamici get this done! enddaylightsavingtime DaylightSavingTime

Makes my blood boil knowing that this is the legislation that time is wasted on. And, the fact that so many citizens are more passionate about this than fixing income inequality, our healthcare or education, or anything else that matters.

This is what passes for responsible governance these days. Pathetic.

You know there has to be something seriously wrong with this, if Democrats and Republicans agree.

They won’t pass voter rights protection though.

Everyone in the US will have a “back in the day we used to have to” story. We used to have to set the clocks twice a year?

You know being a Time Lord isn't easy Permanent STANDARD time, isn't that what we got ? xmas day sunrise in PHL should be 7:20am - oh well I didn't do so well in math either they can always amend it I am sure they will - Whose Who? kid's song from Dr Who

Türkiye did it in 2013.

I seem to remember the last time we did this to 'save energy' there was an increase in highway and pedestrian deaths.

it’s about damn time!

Love it, hope it passes! I hate how as soon as you are done with work its dark in the winter, absolutely depressing.

This is going to cause an uptick in COVID-19 cases. Vitamin D levels something something. My clock, my rules!

Guess they have nothing better to do like voting rights and such.

I guess I’ll need to add headlamps to the back to school shopping list since the sun won’t be rising until the middle of second period in the winter. How is this healthy for our kids?

Of All the problems in the world.. they're actually proud of this. Complete idiots. Pompous self indulgent idiots running this place. After all the things the last few years... this is kinda sending me over. Redefine time because they have to wake up an hour off 2 times a year..

Finally!

This was tried twice before in our history and failed both times. The most recent was in the early 70's. Everyone thought it would be great until it actually went into practice. It was repealed less than a year later. Why do we keep making the same mistakes over and over?

Who cares about light or dark. Stop the idiotic time change. It’s ridiculous. And start it now. Not in 18 months.

Um ok.

Some of you all need to embrace waking up before the sun and commuting to work in the dark. You might find that you can actually do outdoor projects and recreation after an 8 hour shift if you delay a morning vista

Dumb. Should be left at standard time.

Please for the love of God pass this bill. Children and families do NOT thrive on daylight savings time; it’s the absolute worst. USCongress

No! Get rid of it.

If we’re going to have a standard time, why wouldn’t it be standard time?

Yay!

Good I'm tired of being an hour early or an hour late twice a year and so are the people waiting for me. Plus not all clocks update automatically.

It's weird to me that people get so worked up about time changes. Maybe it helps to be a shitty sleeper, but my body doesn't take notice, it's just a day you have to manually reset some clocks.

Wait till you see what winter mornings are like.

Next is the elimination of the use of the imperial system. Only 3 countries in the world: Liberia, Myanmar and the US 🤡🤡🤡

Woohoo, Indiana going back in time to 2005 lol 😂

Hallelujah.

TheSierraNews Why wait?! Let's do it now!

Time is an illusion.

About time!

Good!

I know the names of bills rarely represent their contents but this has to be the stupidest one of all.

I'm sure the GOP will find a way to cancel this in the House.

NPR Cookie Consent and ChoicesIt was a sweet and funny movie that everyone young and old could enjoy. Wow one person reviewed it in a way that wasn't PC..... the horror. Exactly. I mean the majority of Hollywood films center western culture. Do they ever think how not relatable that is to non western society. But people still find things to relate to. After all, we are all human and have things in common.

NPR Cookie Consent and ChoicesJust one of so many. Putin does not believe in freedom for the masses. Neither does the GOP. We are at a crossroads for humanity. Inside every single one of us 7 billion human beings is two wolves warring. One is courage the other is fear. The one that wins is the one you feed. When Putin dies, he will get his s**t pushing in at hell...
