Aha, I got it now.
I read a headline just now about Rs in both houses wanting to eliminate switching clocks back and forth. I was going to post it but decided not to. Now I’ll have to find it.
Aha, here it is:

Republicans in Both Houses Move to Finally Abolish the Time Change
There are plenty of things where taking Washington bureaucrats out of the equation would decidedly make things better.
It may not be the biggest change, but we can at least start with our clocks.
Two Florida Republicans — most notably Sen. Marco Rubio — are pushing to make Daylight Saving Time permanent by reintroducing a bill that would stop the federally mandated time change every year.
Two Florida Republicans — most notably Sen. Marco Rubio — are pushing to make Daylight Saving Time permanent by reintroducing a bill that would stop the federally mandated time change every year.
“Congressman Vern Buchanan (R-FL) and Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) today introduced the Sunshine Protection Act, legislation that would make Daylight Saving Time (DST) permanent across the country,” the two lawmakers said in a press release.
“This is the second Congress that Buchanan and Rubio have introduced the measure and is reflective of the Florida legislature’s 2018 enactment of year-round DST. However, for this to apply, a change in the federal statute is required.”
“The legislation, if enacted, would apply to those states who currently participate in DST, which most states observe for eight months out of the year,” the release continued.
“Standard Time, from November to March, is only observed for four months out of the year. The bill would simply negate the need for Americans to change their clocks twice a year.”

What a relief!
Thought it was always nose of the camel, psychologically, testing our mass tolerance for being led around by our own noses. HA!HA!
Never mind the drag effects on our economy for the first 24 of the early bird shock and awe.
DST once referred to as "War Time"

It wasn’t until World War II began that the issue came up again. In February 1942, Congress implemented a law instating a national daylight saving time to help conserve fuel and "promote national security and defense," which is why it was nicknamed "war time." The time zones were even known as that: Eastern War Time, Pacific War Time, etc.
These people really do think they are gods themselves don’t they. How about this: A day begins at noon when the sun crosses the local celestial meridian and lasts until the next time the sun crosses the local celestial meridian, exactly 24 hours later.
