Wasn't there a bill recently to get rid of DST, and it got stalled in Congress or something?

I thought the news was that it was going to happen, but I haven't kept up.

I found this from earlier this year...so, yeah, basically stalled in Congress.

The article says it's political in the title, but it sounds more like they can't be bothered to actually do the work if it passes because the world is already on fire... And to be honest, I kinda get that... Imagine all the software that would still be taking it into account that would need updating.

There was a provincial bill in BC, Canada to stop the change that passed but it had no date to take effect since they wanted to sync with west coast states. It's like enough people want to change but no one will be the first one so it's not too awkward.
