Florida Sens. Rubio, Scott push to keep daylight saving time

[DCandtheUTBand]

My only problem is that the proposal isn't permanent. The change in the fall costs the USoA ~5% in economic activity, causes more wrecks, depression, heart attacks, strokes and crime.

More sunlight during waking hours is a good thing...less is bad.

You guys are the sunshine state, right?

Yes having it be pitch dark at 5:00 some days is ridiculous.

Federal law says use DST or opt out. Arizona and Hawaii opts out. Rubio wants the whole country to go DST permanently. He has little support.

Tennessee, California and Florida has voted for DST year around. Federal law says no.

Some New England states want Atlantic time.

Which they use (EDT or DST) doesn't matter to me, it's all a factious human invention either way.

But pick one and leave it there year around. The twice yearly change is the harmful part, so get rid of that.

I think Tennessee is also proposing staying on daylight saving time.

Well, he just likes to be able to have more afternoon sun for picking fruit. His seasonal job.

Tennessee legislature voted for DST year round as did California, States can dump Daylight Saving Time if they so choose but not standard time.
