Yeah, I live in Canada, and our local government passed a law in 2018 saying we would go to permanent daylight time, but then backed down because the west coast of USA wouldn't do it too.
This truly is the dumbest timeline.
Compromise and make DST permanent but 30 minutes ahead.
Please not a .5 difference lol. Add the hour or take it away, but not the .5 please.
Even better, nobody likes getting an hour less sleep but everyone likes getting an extra hour. Just move the clocks back one hour each year!

Ok, let's compromise. Half the year we can add the half hour and half the year we take it away. For the farmers or something
You devil, you.

One thing not mentioned in this article is that the bill that was passed in the senate would make DST permanent, while most doctors and the American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommend abolishing DST and making Standard Time permanent.
Personally I hope they do abolish the clock switching, but I hope they revise that bill to align with the medical community's position.
Not to mention how it would basically break the universal time zone system
Congress should really have an office of a few science nerds to give quick answers for things like this. Similar to the office of accountants they have to check how much things will cost.
