no way. i love the sunset lasting into 7pm, maybe it lasting into 8pm might feel weird, but that only happens for like a 1-2 week period.

Well yeah, but most people just referencing in general. Technically the opposite of the thread title

So both in California and Florida voters passed a law to make Daylight savings time permanent. But we live a in fake democracy and we don't actually get to choose our laws.  The legislature in both states then have to approve it.  Unfortunately in California every single Republican legislator voted against it so they could never get the 66% needed to be sent to the Governor to sign it.  California voters passed it by over 70%.  I don't know what percent of the legislator is needed to be sent to the Governor in Florida.  Florida voters passed to end the changing of the clock over 5 years ago and California voters about 3 years ago.  

 

I am glad the federal Government is doing something about it finally.  This will supercede the legislator in both states and allow the Governors the latitude to just make the change.  Now if Biden continues the path of being a closet Republican't and not sign it then it will not happen.

It gets dark at like 4pm in December here. Canada will of course follow the US. Thank God. Winter is so depressing here

Don't this thread violates System Wars policies  of no Politics on the main forum?

 

That was my initial thought seeing this thread and so I clicked on it and this is what immediately happens. 

 

 

 

I'm like damn.  this site is self-aware.

I'm with GD. Team Standard Time. I like it getting dark early, and I like having daylight during the morning commute because it makes driving safer.

Dems have a super-majority in both chamber of the CA legislature. They don't need a single Republican vote to pass legislation. It's a true one-party state. The bill was never put up for a vote in the legislature because the public is split on whether to make DST or ST permanent (and making DST permanent would require federal approval due to a quirk of federal law).
