This seems like such a simple thing to me, and yet the US just can't seem to get it done. What are the issues preventing this?

That is crazy, especially considering we've got places in the US that do permanent time.

Yeah, it isn't even a partisan argument. Everybody, no matter their politics, wants the permanent time shift. ~~It is either pure laziness or just Florida's government purposefully thumbing their nose at their slaves.~~ Hanlon's Razor says it is likely laziness or the inability to figure out how to legislate it. Still, it feels malicious. (I looked it up and they did sign it into law, but the federal goverment has to change the Uniform Time Act of 1966. Florida could change the time to remove daylight savings time like Hawaii did, but they can't make the permanent DST shift that was voted in.) So it isn't Florida's government I should be mad at, just the federal government.
