Disney just filed a lawsuit against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. The feud between the two is long-standing, as DeSantis has been intent on undermining the company’s Florida resort.

Last year I reported on the Sunshine Protection Act, a bill introduced by Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, which would extend Daylight Saving Time (Fun Fact: it’s spelled daylight saving time, not savings) year-round, eliminating the need to “fall back” and “spring forward.” The senate unanimously approved this bill, but the House of Representatives hasn’t passed it, nor has President Biden signed it into effect. … Continue reading Shedding Some Light on the Daylight Saving Time Situation
