I remember it well.

Among other things, there were sensational news articles aplenty about school children being injured or worse while walking to school or waiting for school buses in the dark.

That being said, they might get away with it this time since (1)almost nobody walks to school anymore and (2)school busses come practically to the front door.

It gets frustrating real quick when you're behind a school bus that stops every 100 feet to drop off or pick up children because school bus stops don't seem to be a thing anymore.

This is a decisive issue, but I lean towards having permanent DST year round. And the only reason this bill is going through right now is Congress wants the rubes to focus on this when the rest of the world is burning.
