BREAKING: The House has passed legislation to make Daylight Saving Time permanent nationwide, ending the twice-a-year clock changes by a 308-117 vote. Backed by President Trump, the bill now heads to the Senate. If approved and signed into law, Americans would no longer have to change their clocks.
Permanent daylight saving time would reduce car crashes and car accidents involving animals by around 37,500, according to the American Journal of Public Health. This isn’t just about bettering lives; it’s about protecting them. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7832269/
Permanent daylight saving time is beneficial for farmers too. The American Farm Bureau Federation believes this supports their farmers nationwide through longer evening hours and more availability to sell food. insidenova.com/news/national/…
What most people don't realize is that permanent DST means getting up before the sun does for much of the year. Who really wants to do that? I don't. Wouldn't you rather sleep in a bit?
@mtaibbi Stop with the terminology? Accuracy matters, otherwise we allow people to pollute the issue with incorrect definitions. It's not socialism.
The HOUSE GOP leadership hasn’t closed a procedural vote — they’re 15 min over the allotted time. JOHNSON is chatting with the HFC- Norman, Roy, self, Harris, ogles, Biggs. This is the group that is furious with Johnson for not allowing votes to codify trumps border policies.
Trump: "The U.S.A. will be, from this point forward, known as 'THE GUARDIAN OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT,' but as such, and as a matter of FAIRNESS, will be reimbursed, at the rate of 20% on all cargo shipped, for any and all costs necessary to do the job of providing safety and security to this very volatile section of the World. The process and formation will begin immediately."
On this day in 1974, the United States experiments with permanent Daylight Saving Time. An energy crisis had prompted Congress to “spring forward” on January 6. The plan was to stay there, without “falling back” to Standard Time, for nearly two years. The experiment didn’t last long. Instead, it was cut short after just ten months. /1 of X #storytime 🧵👇
