The United States Senate yesterday passed by unanimous consent, Senator Marco Rubio's "Sunshine Protection Act of 2021". It was co-sponsored by amongst others, Senators James Lankford, R-Okla.; Roy Blunt, R-Mo.; Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I.; Ron Wyden, D-Ore.; Cindy Hyde-Smith, R-Miss.; Rick Scott, R-Fla.; and Ed Markey, D-Mass.
If it gets a hearing and passes the House and President Biden signs it, there will be no more changing the clocks twice a year!
Rubio took to the Senate floor yesterday where he passionately pushed his Bill. "The good news is that we can get this passed. We don't have to keep doing this stupidity anymore. Why we would enshrine this in our laws and keep it for so long is beyond me. Hopefully, this is the year that this gets done. And pardon the pun, but this is an idea whose time has come."
According to the most recent poll on the subject last October, a massive 75% of Americans want to avoid switching between DST and standard time.
How about you? Do you support Rubio's Bill?
