“the Sunshine Protection Act, which was introduced by Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida”
Floriduh has a totally different daylight pattern over the year compared to Washington State.
Yes, in Seattle Sunset is around 4:15 all through December. It is extremely irritating. Of course, the poor devils living up in Juneau have sunset a little after 3:00 in December. In Miami sunset is around 5:30 all though December so it isn't that much of a hassle. The further North you go the more standard time becomes a nuisance in the winter.
If we are going to have standard time and daylight savings time it, it would make more sense for the clocks to be changed in the opposite direction. Sunset would be at 6:15 PM in Seattle in winter... for more preferable than 4:15. The potheads who live around here don't get up until after 9:45 AM so they wouldn't even notice that the sun was rising another hour later.
It is a mystery to me why Little Marco is the one leading the charge on this when the South is not affected as much as the North by this twice a year nonsense.
True. FL has two time zones, Eastern and Central.
The folks in the Panhandle are always a step behind... /S
