Why didn’t we get rid of the change like everyone wanted? My kid definitely isn’t adjusting.

If you really, sincerely want the thing to change or be eliminated- try organizing, or writing ur congressman or something a few months before the next scheduled time change, instead of just starting a thread the day after it happens .. people always forget how much they hate it in a few days so it never goes away .

So a one and a half year old hasn't adjusted to something new after one day? I'm surprised.

Many states have voted to, but it requires federal approval (weights and measures).

It will probably take him 2 weeks or so. He’s was a consistent 5:45-6 am kid

Whatever we have during the summer needs to stay that way.
I got up to go to work in the dark, and I’ll get home in the dark for the next four months.

President Lyndon B. Johnson working in the Oval Office at the White House. Johnson signed the Uniform Time Act into law in 1966. According to Prerau, the law said that a state doesn't have to have daylight saving time if it doesn't want to. But if it does want to have daylight saving time, it has to be statewide.
Hawaii and Arizona don't recognize DST.

What I don’t understand is it was already supposed to happen. I shouldn’t have to write my congressman they already voted and approved and set a date for the change. They just never did it because our government sucks
quote:
Shown Here: Passed Senate (03/15/2022) Sunshine Protection Act of 2021 This bill makes daylight saving time the new, permanent standard time, effective November 5, 2023. States with areas exempt from daylight saving time may choose the standard time for those areas.

You do realize, that we have less daylight in winter months, right?
Adjusting a clock doesn't make the sunrise later and sunset sooner.
Enjoy the concept of the solstice.

A lot of folks in the northern US will be going to work and coming home in dark, regardless of what the clock says

What Happened the Last Time the U.S. Tried to Make Daylight Saving Time Permanent?
I was one of those children riding my bike to school daily in the "Jet Black." My route required traveling on and crossing busy streets with the alternative being to cut through the cemetery property in the absolute pitch dark.

A 1974 switch to year-round DST proved unpopular, with Americans expressing “distaste” for the long, dark winter mornings
For ten months in the mid-1970s, America’s clocks sprang forward and never fell back.
Year-round daylight saving time (DST), signed into law by President Richard Nixon in January 1974, sought to maximize evening sunlight and, in doing so, help mitigate an ongoing national gas crisis. But while the experiment initially proved popular, with 79 percent of Americans expressing support for the change in December 1973, approval quickly plummeted, dropping to 42 percent by February 1974, reported the New York Times’ Anthony Ripley in October of that year.
The main drawback to pushing the clock forward permanently was the prolonged early-morning darkness in the winter, which left children heading to school when it was “jet black” outside, as a parent told the Washington Post’s Barbara Bright-Sagnier at the time. Writing for Washingtonian, Andrew Beaujon notes that eight students in Florida died in traffic accidents in the weeks following the change; in the nation’s capital and its surrounding suburbs, similar incidents led some schools to delay classes until the sun came up........

There is only so much sunlight during the day this time of year. Nothing they can do can change that.

Most states have voted to make the change to stay in DST year round.
I think congress is where the failure of year round DST rests. They have failed to approve the change in federal law. Yes, with as many CR’s they shove past passage with the most random of laws included, they have yet to add year round DST.

but we already passed it. we are waiting on federal gov approval
Louisiana has a trigger law to make daylight saving time permanent if Congress passes the "Sunshine Protection Act" filed this week by Republican Florida U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio.
That would allow Louisiana to spring forward forever because of a state law passed by Republican Haughton Rep. Dodie Horton in 2020.
Daylight saving time this year begins at 2 a.m. March 12.
"Every year we get close to starting daylight saving time people start asking me about when it can become permanent in Louisiana," Horton said. "We're ready to roll right into it if Congress acts. I'm excited our federal partners are taking another swipe at it."
Rubio won unanimous Senate approval last year for his bill, but it died in the House without getting a vote. He refiled the bill Wednesday.
