We are currently on DST. Standard is what we are moving to this weekend. Many states are passing laws to make DST (summer time) permanent. But federally it’s not legal yet so only if it becomes legal federally then we can stop changing the clock. There was a bill passed in the Senate at the beginning of this year called Sunshine Protection Act. But it has yet to be put on the house floor. And it probably never will since the house is a shit show right now
I don’t even gaf. Whichever way. I can get used to it. Just split the difference and shift a half hour and leave it. I just want to quit changing twice a year.
Wish we would just keep it at Standard, instead of this DST shit.

Arizona hasn’t done DST since 1968. What’s preventing other states from doing the same?
IIRC the issue was we can’t pass “permanent standard time” laws but we could pass “permanent daylight time”. I could be wrong though
The states are actually allowed to switch to permanent standard time any time they want without any objections from the federal government.
Permanent DST requires laws to be changed.
