The House just voted to make daylight saving time permanent—meaning no more “falling back” in winter. While summer won’t feel much different, winter mornings will be dark and evenings will end an hour earlier, especially in northern states. This isn’t the first time the U.S. tried it—back in 1974, public support plummeted from 79% to just 42% in two months, leading to a quick repeal. Chaos ensued, with some cities on different times and kids boarding buses in the dark. After that, Congress settled on the current six-month standard, six-month daylight schedule. Now, with renewed push for permanent DST, history warns: the convenience may vanish fast once the sun’s timing shifts.
