That's going to be very interesting for people living close to Missouri who commute into St. Louis if true.

Thats how to do it

The whole "what about x region though" is not important at all, it was the same argument weed prohibitionists used

I remember this was an issue when I lived in Kentucky. They called it "fast time" and "slow time". So if you told someone to meet up at 4 pm, they always asked fast time or slow time?

Daylight saving* time
And are they removing the 1 hour forward? If so, they are removing daylight saving time entirely

No it removes the "fall back" next year.

That would be a terrible fucking thing to do. No, we spring forward and then we're done with this early dark nonsense.

Obligatory reminder, states cannot go on permanent DST. We went through this with Florida... and California... and Oregon...

(As Illinois borders an Eastern Time state, they have the workaround of moving to permanent Eastern Time.)

I'm sure the federal government doesn't care if a state wants to go to permanent DST. If this went to the federal government to pass, it would pass with no debate.

Because there is much more benefit to having the sun set later in the day, when people are still awake and outside.

Even in the winter, the weather is slightly warmer when the sun is out.
