Link Love: DST Forever

Yesterday, the US Senate passed (by unanimous vote) The Sunshine Protection Act which would mean the US  would stay on Daylight Saving Time FOREVER. While there are debates on whether Standard Time or DST is preferable, we all seem to agree that changing times twice a year is exhausting. As to whether you would have preferred Standard Time over DST at least now, as our good friend Julia said, “We don’t have to suffer jetlag twice a year without ever leaving our homes”.
