We were so close a few years ago when the senate passed a bill with unanimous consent, only for the house to say fuck you and refuse to even consider it (can’t have anything useful getting done).
I thought it failed because Rs in the senate said “wait no, we passed it by mistake, don’t vote on it please”, and democrats in the house have them what they wanted. A favor that would never be repaid, because they are stupid
Tbh, the US already uses imperial instead of metric, regardless of the difficulty coordinating with other countries. We could have just split the difference and been 30 minutes offset from other countries in the same time zones.

The US has officially been in the metric system since the mid 70s
Exactly this. I don’t care where the permanent time lands. Just make it permanent and we’ll adjust.
