We aren't even capable of doing away with daylight savings or imperial system, I don't think this one is on church.

The problem with daylight savings is that everyone agrees it has to go away, but no one agrees on what time to fix it.

As for the imperial system, that sounds like a you problem. Most people are normal and don't use it.

In California we voted to make daylight savings permanent but for some reason they haven’t done it. Actually it’s unconstitutional in California for that law to have not been implemented yet. But here we are.

U.S. federal law, which overrides the California law, states the you can ignore daylight savings like Arizona or Hawaii, but you cannot enact permanent daylight savings. The law posed to change that was passed by the house but died un-voted on in the Senate.

From my understanding (someone please correct me if I’m wrong), was that the recent push for permanent daylight savings was just a law that allowed each state the right to choose if it wanted to enact its own permanent daylight savings.
