Senate Totally OK With Making Daylight Saving Time Permanent, Are You?

The vote went down Tuesday, March 15 — less than 48 hours after the clocks skipped ahead. So, are you in? (Story continues after poll). If the legislation passes the House and gets President Biden's stamp of approval, it would go into effect November 2023. The bill was introduced by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), and backed by Dems Ron Wyden of Oregon, and Ed Markey of Massachusetts. Markey and Rubio argue in an Op-Ed on daylight sa…

We'll have to take care of traditional clocks and those in older-model vehicles, stoves, microwaves, etc. So long, seasonal affective disorder! ****** If you're having trouble getting to sleep, consider: It's "Daylight Saving," not "Savings"; Benjamin Franklin came up with the idea 235 years ago (1784); When it was established in the U.S.…
