An unscientific poll of people I know shows almost everyone hates the biannual time change in the US that subjects most Americans to one-hour shifts: backward in fall and forward in spring. As we approach the arrival of Daylight Saving Time on March 14, a bipartisan group of senators is proposing we stick with DST for all time.
Earlier this week, Republican Senator Marco Rubio of Florida announced he was leading a bipartisan group of senators in reintroducing the Sunshine Protection Act to make DST permanent across the US.
