Recently the USA Senate approved making daylight saving time permanent.

I'm wondering what are the long term benefits and problems to this?

Hopefully my fellow JSP'ers can enlighten me on this topic more to shed light on the subject.

E- to be clear I'm primarily interested in the science & technology relating to this topic.

You should have posted in PaRD. They have doctorates in every subject imaginable.

It's not political but I appreciate the humor, lol

Might cause more actual Y2k-esque issues than Y2k, if legacy computer systems are still auto-adjusting timezones on a pre-programmed schedule instead of pulling from internet time servers. Would be pretty rare but technically possible.

Everything is political

I always thought it was to give farmers and extra hour of sunlight to get crops in.
At least that's what I was told growing up on a farm.

The modern issue is it's affect on shift work.

Example: If you work night shift on these days you can lose an hour of pay or gain an hour of free pay.
