Could the US stop changing clocks? ⏰ The House of Representatives is voting on a bill that would make daylight saving time permanent across most of the U.S. If it passes, it would need to be approved by the Senate before going to the President. If the Sunshine Protection Act became law and a state chose to remain on daylight saving time, winter mornings would be darker, with sunrises pushed an hour later. On Jan. 15, sunrise and sunset times would look something like this: In Miami, the sun would rise at 8:09 a.m. and set at 6:51 p.m. In Boston, sunrise would happen at 8:10 a.m., with sunset at 5:36 p.m. Farther west, Kansas City would see the sun rise at 8:35 a.m. and set at 6:19 p.m. In Billings, Montana, sunrise would occur at 8:51 a.m., with sunset at 5:56 p.m. In Los Angeles, sunrise would happen just before 8 a.m. and sunset shortly after 6 p.m. PT. Daylight saving time is currently observed by most of the U.S. from March into November. In 2026, clocks sprang forward on March 8. Clocks are scheduled to fall back on Nov. 1, when most of the country returns to standard time.

Make 8 time zone based on 30 solar minutes for the contiguous states locked on standard time. Let AK and HI do whatever they want

Not a bad compromise! I for one don’t care about the dark mornings in the winter yet realize getting light at 8:00am in Chicago could be problematic
