That's okay with me!

I certainly hope so as I find it asininely backwards

So will the clocks stay as they are right now (today) or will we "fall back" one hour (on November 06, 2022) again and stay that way?

It sounds to me like it stays the way it is right now. Nov will come and go without a time change, if it passes the House and biden signs it.

If enacted, it becomes effective in 2023. One more round of clock changes if the legislation is approved as currently written.

Just wondering how much 'pork' will be added to the bill before it gets to you know who?

There's only so much daylight regardless of what the clock says--especially in the wintertime.

It comes down to do you want to be driving to work in the dark or coming home in the dark?

So technically time will then change in AZ…. Guess we’ll be on mountain time permanently then. Living on the western time zone had us living 1/2 the year on mountain time, half on pacific if you were planning things on the other side of the river

Exactly , here in the northeast it will mean in January the sunrise won't happen till after 8AM before it starts getting earlier .

I'm all for stopping the nonsense of changing the clocks back and forth but they should maybe make it a half hour from what the real GMT is and call it good ??

How about we just leave the clocks alone and stay on standard time?

i'm all for making it permanent !
but if it gets signed into law, why wait until next year ?

I've always said split it by 30 minutes and make it permanent!!!!

i have sait that as well Larry.
at this point, i just don't care, KEEP IT THE SAME, YEAR ROUND !

and FINALLY, someone listened ! but i got both eyes on my back, as i'm SURE the general populous will get SHAFTED somehow or other with this bill !

Yeah, at this point just I'm the same if they just get it done!!!

Another thing that's a tangent but what in hell with the 9/10th's with gas prices and can we get rid of that? What other retail product is priced with at 9/10th's?!!!!

Because there are millions of software updates that will have to be made, schedules to be changed, etc. Will take some time.

I'm with you guys, fix it and leave it. After all my life advocating for DST I think splitting the difference would be the way to go. Whatever fixes it year round I'm good with.

The practice of tacking 9/10 of a cent on the end of a gas price goes back to when gas cost only pennies per gallon and was a tax imposed by state and federal governments. Gas stations added the fraction of a cent on the end of the price instead of rounding up the price. Back then, a full penny would have been a budget-buster for customers. The federal tax was implemented in 1932 as part of the Revenue Act of 1932 and was supposed to expire in 1934 I'm pretty sure there's a civil war era tax that was supposed to expire at the end of it's intended purpose, to the best of my knowledge they're still collecting it.

I've ALWAYS read it rounded up, my wife just leaves off the .9 One of my buddies wanted to make an issue of my rounding it up. I told him to go down and buy one unit (gallon), come back and show me the change you get.

When I had to file state taxes on my prior business, all extra taxes over the taxed amount had to be turned in as tax revenue. i.e. you can't charge somebody 9/10th of a cent so the tax has to be rounded to a full percent and the state/feds keep that other .1 percent.

Effectively making the 9/10ths of a cent a full cent tax without calling it that. It was also illegal in that state to pay the taxes for the consumer for the a similar reason. The laws create the most revenue possible for the government.

Just watch. The IT guys will turn this into another Y2K.

Couple of questions: If we stay on Daylight Savings time all year, what happens to the hour we lost? Do we all just lose an hour of our lives?

Concerning the 9/10ths and gas tax, when will EVs start paying for the roads they drive on? This one is a real issue and the politicians aren't so dumb that they don't know this. They want us to buy the cars first and then will figure out how to tax us.

They aren't dumb, once you buy it and then they lay the tax on you then you are stuck.
