I hope everyone who wants to be on permanent DST experiences an eternity of the first day of spring forward, never rested again

I want perminate standard time. Mostly because any US state can do that now, but year round dst requires us congress to change the law. I want to be done with the nonescence now and what the clocks read doesn't matter much so long as they are consistent.

Same. I live in a Northern state. permanent Pacific Standard Time just makes sense. Time to go around that sissy Congress.

Their point is we can't get it because of a federal law that Congress would need to change. That same law allows permanent standard time right now, so that would be better than keeping switching twice a year while waiting for the legislature to do their job, even if permanent DST would be nicer.
