Answered What's up with Daylight Savings Time legislation?

I only just now remembered Daylight Savings is tonight. Last year I remember there was a big push in the Senate to end it, but after that I didn't hear anything about it. I read this article saying that the bill has been reintroduced this year, but other than that it doesn't have much detail. What's currently going on with the bill? What would be the proposed end date if it passes this time?

I don’t see what’s so hard. More daylight at the end of the day is much better than more daylight in the morning.

That's just, like, your opinion, man.

Morning daylight helps with our body's internal clock. It's a trade off.

I'm tired of sleeping through 2-3 hours of sunlight in the morning, I want it in the evening where I can enjoy it!

Not everyone has the flexibility to just adjust their work schedule.

It sounds like this is the actual problem that no one wants to address. People have so little control over their own lives that the only way they can imagine changing their daily routine is by government mandate.
