Someone explain to me why this is still a thing. Who is fighting to not change it?

It passed the house and Pelosi sat on it. Tuberville said he wants it to stop, so there is hope.

Change it to DST permanently
It’s standard time that sucks

I like daylight savings time. It’s standard time that sucks.

Tubs also said we lose an hour of daylight because of it.

Everyone agrees that it sucks but the Northern states want to keep the shitty normal time and the Southern states want to keep the longer days on the summer that come with Daylight savings.
Why they can't fix that with time zones, I have no idea? But the lack of being able to find a working solution on something that 95% of the population want, is the most DC thing ever.

I really don't care which way we go. I just want the clock to stop changing.

It was started under the idea that it would save energy. Many studies prove it has zero savings on energy. Why does it remain? Well, golfers who like to play a round after work support it. But that's a tiny group of people. I think it may just be due to the strength of status quo. Changing something must have a compelling reason. Otherwise people will just keep it the same.
I'm for getting rid of DST.

Time zones are a function of the earth rotating on its axis, not legislation.

Do you want it to stay like it is now?

Kills me how passionate people get about this.
I live where the day lighter hours change more than almost anywhere in the US outside Alaska, and this really doesn’t matter to me.
Winter days will be 8 hours long either way.

Timezones are man made and drawn around borders that don't always fall into where true timezones would be if they were just scientifically drawn with straight longitude lines.
It seems like if the Northeast wants to stay on normal time and the Southeast doesn't, then would be easier to move the northern states over to the Central time zone. This would let them both have the kind of daylight that corresponds with the time of day that they want and it would get rid of the clocks moving back and forth.
We already have Northern Indiana and Arizona that don't follow daylights savings and fall under different timezones different times of the year.

I wish I hate daylight savings time. Leave it on standard time year round.
