So are we permanently going to be on "{Eastern,Central,Mountain,Pacific} Daylight Time"? Or are we redefining the time zones "{Eastern,Central,Mountain,Pacific}

So are we permanently going to be on "{Eastern,Central,Mountain,Pacific} Daylight Time"? Or are we redefining the time zones "{Eastern,Central,Mountain,Pacific} Standard Time"?
- cjm42 5y agoThe bill would eliminate Daylight Time and redefine Eastern Standard Time etc. to be the same offset they currently are during daylight time. https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/623/text https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/623...
- puffoflogic 5y agoGiven that the US Congress doesn't really have the social authority to do the latter...
- ggrrhh_ta 5y agoA comment above states exactly the opposite.
- gnulinux 5y agoI think you're wrong. They really are re-defining e.g. EST to be the current DST but without yearly DST change.
- lfuller 5y agoHow would this work? Parts of Canada, parts of Mexico, Panama, Colombia, mainland Ecuador, Peru, parts of Brazil, and a bunch of islands are all on Eastern Time. Even if the US changed their own definition of EST it wouldn't change other countries' observations of EST.
- puffoflogic 5y agoShhh... The Narrative has now been decided, and going against it on HN is racist or something.
