272. It does start in 2023
Thu Mar 17, 2022, 12:31 PM
Mar 2022

So right now we're in DST. In November we switch to Standard Time. Then in March 2023 we switch to forever DST, so they are counting that as the start.

House hasn't voted, but with a unanimous Senate, I can't see how it won't pass.

Oh please say it is so... for what ever reason Peacetrain Mar 2022 #1
What I hate about it is having to get up at 2 AM to change the clocks. :) spike jones Mar 2022 #108
