Didn't the sunshine act already pass? but yes I agree I despise the
clock change bull sh**** It takes effect next year unless Turtle neck

From the linked article:
/Earlier this year, the U.S. Senate unanimously passed bipartisan
legislation to abolish clock changes and make daylight saving time
permanent, beginning in 2023. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida,
introduced////the Sunshine Protection Act
<https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/623>//,
and Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Oregon, was among the co-sponsors./
/"Glad the Senate has passed the Sunshine Protection Act so
Oregonians aren’t springing back & forth each year in a silly
exercise that hurts everybody’s health & our economy," Wyden tweeted
March 15. "Time now for the House to act."/
/In June 2022, the U.S. House failed to pass the bill, which is now
stalled and scheduled to expire in December./
/Let the debate resume in March 2023./

as we all know I'm no fan of semi-annual clock changes... and I
thought the Sunshine Act

put an end to that nonsense even if did fall on the "wrong side"
with a year-round DST timesqew. Looks like it is going to fail
despite bipartisan support in the Senate (unsurprising that
Florida, closest to the equator, effected least, would be the one
to sponsor/promote it?)...
Oregon (in coordination with CA/WA) have tried to take things into
their own hands independent of the rest of the country?

I suppose I could live with the sqew and just change the idioms
from 12 noon and 12 midnight to 11 noon and 11 midnight and call
it a day/year/life. Seems like it would just make more sense to
sqew the 8-5 (or 9-4) for bankers) an hour earlier instead, but
what is the point of having a state/federal/global government if
it isn't going to decide for you how we index time?
