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.

    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.
