California did this before Trump. Trump wants something California did. He wants it bad.

Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

Oh hey, it's that one thing I agree with Trump on.
for me it's this and the penny. pennies are stupid. sorry not sorry.
I'm Canadian. We ditched the penny years ago.
No one notices anymore.
I guess we can add on marijuana rescheduling
While we're at it nickels and dimes are pretty stupid too
Agreed but they wouldn't be stupid if inflation wasn't so fucking high!
They've been stupid for a long time, actually. It's been ages since it started costing more than a penny per coin to mint them..
So this is why he doesn't have time to attend his son's wedding
The year is 2026, and the US government bickers over what time it is and minimum wage is less than eight dollars an hour and corporations are people and JUST END IT
A government can (and, depending on the size of the country it administrates, has) do many things at once. Pursuing one topic shouldn't necessarily come at the detriment of others.
The problem is that representatives and lawmakers ignore or block those other things and waste time buddying up with corporate dragons instead of actually dealing with all the things that ought to be deliberated and decided.
Come on man, this is like the one sane thing they're doing right now. Do you really need to talk shit about it? Advancing a bill doesn't mean they are arguing. This is them doing something for once that isn't insane and bad for everyone.
I mean just because minimum wage is too low doesn't mean we shouldn't change to permanent daylight savings.
The real answer is, the world should just run on UTC. No tomezones. No confusion. When it says 12:00 UTC, it's the same time everywhere on the planet, regardless of the sun being up or not.
Not changing time is good when one travels a lot. If one does not travel much, one single time is hardly useful. However, there are merits to the idea.
This is the dumbest fucking idea I've seen yet. Far, far worse than daylight savings time.
End the AM/PM stuff too!
Actually a decent part of the world uses 24h scheme, and it works fine.
While you're at it, adopt a logic date format.
dd/mm/yyyy makes sense.
yyyy-mm-dd makes sense.
mm/dd/yyyy is an abomination
Digest that, and when you're ready, we'll talk about your backward units system...
This is only a good idea when you don't think about it.
That's like all my ideas. What's that mean for me?
You're a visionary and should be made CEO of major tech companies.

Twice a year the entire country collectively agrees the clock change is annoying, unhealthy, and pointless, and then somehow we still keep doing it.

I don’t want to see another article about this until it’s finally fucking done.
How will all the people who make a living writing articles about this find work? Especially now that all of the "My 2 cents: The debate and history of the penny" article writers are also jobless.
Isn't that how some pressure is put on to make it pass?
