Would Minn go mountain time then central or central time then to eastern? And why would they want to be in a different time zone than their bordering states 6 months out of the year?

Do you mean stay on daylight time? If you want more sunlight in the afternoon that is how you get it. Staying on standard time changes nothing in the winter and makes sunrise be as early as 4:30 in the summer.
Yes, especially the game day threads. It seems like overkill for Congress to be involved, not for or against any party.
It’s always funny watching these stupid debates twice a year.
It would take that for a change to made nationally, but there are already parts of the country that don't recognize DST.

This would be a fantastic solution, except for having the time adjustment from every place in the US be 30 minutes off from basically every other place in the world. That would be kind of a mess (not unworkable, just a mess).

Yup, states can choose not to participate in DST and stay on standard time all year if they wish. But the reverse isn’t true, the federal government doesn’t allow DST to be used outside of the March-November time frame.
I guess some people say you can just choose to be part of a different time zone, but carving out a different clock in the middle of a time zone can cause way more issues than it solves.
Also, be sure you know what you’re getting. Going with DST year-round may sound good when you think about more light later in the day, but the flip side is the sun won’t come up until almost 8:45 in December, for Iowa, at least. There are trade-offs … doing that will result in complaining from some quarters, too.
Weren’t you a journalist? Research my man.
Uniform Time | US Department of Transportation
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) oversees the Nation's time zones. The oversight of time zones was assigned to DOT because time standards were first instituted by the railroad industry.
Oregon wants to stop changing the clock to and from daylight saving time, but it’s still happening and here’s why
On Sunday, the annual occasion of “falling back” will occur at 2 a.m. Pacific Time for Oregonians as the clocks switch from daylight saving time to standard time. But the state is trying to stop the practice.

Anyone else here about this?

Bunch of whiny lazy people that cry how much an hour change ruins their life 2 times a year.
13 votes against it? Be nice to find out who and bounce them out. Lets stick with one time just for convenience. I will deal with my Minnesota stuff. I would just need to learn that during the summer I'm focusing on 7-4 and not 8-5 for most things.
I don’t care about an hour time change at all. But working in IT it sucks ass in the fall as our healthcare software is in 4 time zones and coordinating for that 1 hour is costly and tiresome. Not to mention our AZ staff that screws up all of our calendars.
I’d like to split the difference and leave it.
Dark for chores this morning but the extra light at night is nice too, I don’t get too worked up on it either way.
The real tragedy is just simply how short our days get over the winter and there’s nothing we can do with a clock to change that.

India is also 1/2 hour off the rest of the world. So we can join them in that mess.
Maybe the better solution is just use GMT across the nation and drop this notion that work days are 8-5. Everyone is on the same time zone and adjust your work hours for when the sun's up in your area of the country.
