In May, the House Energy and Commerce Committee ‌voted 48-1 in favor of the Sunshine Protection Act. The U.S. Senate voted unanimously in March 2022 to make daylight saving time permanent but the House never took up the measure in the face ​of opposition. The proposal the House will consider next week would allow states ​to opt out.

    This saying bothers me, this assumes the clock is not running, a working clock could not be running, but a broken clock could just lose a minute a day, and it would never be right but a few times a year.

      I always heard the saying as, “A stopped clock is right twice a day.”

        I’ve never heard it said that way, all the people I have heard say this saying have always used the broken term and it always bothered me.

          I have also heard it as a stopped clock.

          “Broken clock” is probably like “Play it again, Sam” or “Luke, I am your father.” Phrases you think were said but never actually are.
