Daylight saving time ends Sunday, and most of the U.S. will turn clocks back one hour. ⏰ But 19 states have already passed laws to make daylight saving time permanent. Those changes can't take effect unless federal law changes first. For now, most Americans will continue changing their clocks twice a year. What do you think?

I'll take things that don't happen for $5,000. Most of my clocks do change themselves. And, no, I've never then turned any of them back another hour... or forward, for that matter.
