The Senate passed a bill by unanimous consent on Tuesday to make daylight saving time permanent starting in 2023.

The main objection to making daylight saving time permanent is that sunrise will occur later than 8 a.m. in the dead of winter (in some locations even after 9 a.m.). The benefit, obviously, would be no more of those dreadful 4:30 p.m. sunsets in places such as New York in December.

Florida GOP senator Marco Rubio, who co-sponsored the bill with Democratic senator Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island, said that school districts could consider moving back the start of classes to address concerns about children making their way to school in the dark. “We start school in this country at the worst possible time for adolescents,” Rubio said in the Capitol on Tuesday.
