Florida Lawmakers Approve Year-Round Daylight Saving Time (tampabay.com)
JustAnotherOldGuy writes: It seems like we're seeing a sudden outbreak of common sense from one of the most unlikely places. Florida might become the third state -- after Hawaii and Arizona -- to be done with the hassle of changing their clocks twice a year. Yesterday, the Senate overwhelmingly passed the Sunshine Protection Act in under one minute, with only two dissenters. The House had already passed it 103-11 last month. Now it has to be signed by Gov. Rick Scott. If Scott passes it, however, it still has to go through Congress before Florida has Daylight Savings Time all year long.
Florida will probably get shot down.
Too soon?
It's true. Right now in Arizona, it's 9:12pm, March 8, 1952.
You are welcome on my lawn.

You know, I think the flat earthers are on to something here. Equal daylight for everyone!
The sun should be at its highest at noon, not 1:00.
I wholeheartedly agree. The sun needs to be directly above me as I eat my lunch, otherwise the strong gravitational forces from the sun will suck my sandwich back up my throat and make me vomit all over my keyboard.
Someone once suggested that I eat lunch at 1pm instead of noon, but the asymmetrical offset would interfere with my polyphasic sleep schedule.
