Senate passes bill that would make Daylight Saving Time permanent CNN and many others
Fail when Northern kids went to school way before Dawn in the first winter. Worse if you have to take a Bus to school because you have to allow 1 - 2 hours more just for transportation before school starts.
This is Why the Time Switch dates changed just a Few Weeks starting in 2007....
Last Sun in Oct to First Sun in Nov
First Sun in April to Second Sun in March
Total is 4 or 5 weeks depending on calendar for a given year.------------------
Dr. Ian Malcolm: Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

Living in the far Eastern or far western segment of a time zone is a problem.
I lived in Indiana for several years in a town near the Ohio border. Ohio changed time twice a year, Indiana did not. I preferred to not change time, it just made a lot more sense. I worked in Ohio, so for years I dealt with two time zones on a daily basis, as did all of the people in the area.
It was a PITA.

Not quite sure why they decided on staying on Daylight Savings instead of Standard Time. 
Sleep Specialists Say Standard Time Better for Health
| quote |
Some advocates and sleep researchers have demanded for the removal of the system by replacing it with a standard time cycle that aligns with one’s internal clock, mood and physical and mental health.
Dr. Sabra Abbott, a sleep medicine specialist at Northwestern Medicine, is a supporter of the standard time system.
“It is much healthier to get more of that light in the morning than in the evening,” she said. “There are a lot of studies that show that if you live in the Western side of the time zone, where you are getting less of that morning light, there are higher rates of cancer, depression rates go up if you don’t have that morning light. So, as a community, the sleep field feels like standard time year-round is the best approach.”

Yeah, but the Boomers and Silent generations couldn't grasp the metric system either.

Well if they went to standard time those people that never got rid of the end of life OSs could just disable DST and go about their business.
But if they stay in DS time instead there will be a bigger push to get rid of those systems or pay out the nose for a 3rd party fix.
Not that I know of anyone running end of life OS.

2012 goes end of life in 2023 and you would be surprised (or not) by how many companies still have old windows 2008/2003 servers online.
I don't think home users will have too many issues but I would expect this to break authentication for anything 2012 R2 and below without a patch. I would expect 2016 and newer would get a patch from MS.
Perhaps this is the push they need.

Don't really care, I'm retired and get up/go to bed whenever I feel like it.
Well, that's not really true, I'm an early riser, if the sun is up, so am I.
The only reason I care about what a clock says is because I still have to do business with banks and other commercial entities.
