The US Tried Permanent Daylight Saving in 1974 and People Hated It

The US House has voted to make daylight saving time permanent as the Sunshine Protection Act advances. This legislative effort follows a historical precedent from 1974, when the US implemented year-round daylight savings, though the public hated the change. Current reports emphasize the role of Florida in the House vote. The act seeks to eliminate the biannual clock shifts by establishing a permanent standard, despite the negative historical reception of similar past attempts.
