It will now head to the Senate for approval before going to the president for his signature — though its chances in the upper chamber remain unclear.

    The jury is still out about how people will cope with the long dark winter mornings. There may be buyer remorse.

      And those people are stupid. You can’t make the day longer by moving it around. If you live up north, you’re going to be going to work in the dark or coming home in the dark. Deal with it. You can’t fix it. I’m just sick and tired of changing the time twice a year for bullshit reasons.

        You actually are making the usable part of the day longer. Come winter that meaning shifting back to normal time so that the mornings are not so dark for as long. Making the the day summer time all year long seems very superficial.
