  • Senators Propose Bill to End Clock Changes

    A group of U.S. Senators has introduced legislation aimed at making daylight saving time permanent across the country.

Advocates argue that the change would boost productivity, improve public health, and reduce energy consumption. However, critics express concerns about darker mornings in some regions. The proposal reignites a long-standing debate over the best way to handle timekeeping in the modern era.
