it's time to stop messing with time.
The Senate on Tuesday voted to pass the Sunshine Protection Act, which
would make daylight saving time permanent.
As
the sun rises over Rich Giunco's Wemrock Orchards, the possibility of later
sunsets year-round is now a reality, instead of just social media banter.
“If we had a little bit more sunlight, maybe we
can get a little bit more productivity out of it the whole economy,” says Giunco.
Giunco sees his highest numbers in the fall and winter, and his theory is more
afternoon light means more shoppers.
The flipside to a permanent daylight saving time would mean later
sunrises --for example, Dec. 15 would be 8:13 a.m.
If the House passes the bill and President Joe Biden signs it into law,
it would not take effect until 2023 at the earliest.
