I can't help but notice the "Sunshine Protection Act" was sponsored by a senator (Marco Rubio) from Florida, the official nickname of which is "the Sunshine State."
I suspect the bill's name was purposely chosen to subtly suggest it protects Florida during the next election cycle.
- ravi-delia 6y agoEither Marco Rubio is playing some kind of 10d chess in the hopes of subconsciously suggesting to all 8 people that will actually look at his policy record that he is protecting Florida, or the bill is intended to make daylight savings time permanent. To tell you the truth, I favor the latter interpretation.
- ghaff 6y agoI suppose you could argue over whether ST or DST is "better" for Florida; you could probably make the argument either way. But certainly in the states in the southern US, it likely makes more sense to pick a time zone and stick with it.
