can we ban standard time and permanently switch to DST now too?

DST is the best thing ever. Who doesn't want more daylight after work?

Oh yay it's bright at 4am in the morning when I'm asleep.

What about 4am in the evening?

Senate passed the bill by unanimous consent, although several senators stated later that they would have objected if they had known that the bill could pass. No iteration of the bill has passed the House.

WTF? Why the heck would those people have wanted it to fail and why would they vote for it if they did?

And since it got unanimous consent in the Senate, why the heck didn't it go to the house? It's the rare case of a bill that I think everyone likes.
