Not sure about your state, but in mine we’re mandated by law to have the new smoke/co2 detectors with 10-year sealed 
batteries in place by Jan 2023. I’m not sure I can even buy one locally that isn’t a 10-year.

But how will we remember to change the batteries in our smoke and CO2 detectors then?

Ending DST is a really good idea.

Moving 15 degrees East not so much but let’s face it, the environmental impact statement will take forever to write

In a unanimous vote today, the US Senate approved a bill which would

1) Cancel DST permanently, and
2) Move every square inch of US territory 15 degrees to the east.

My opinion of this ought to be obvious from my rhetoric. Hopefully, it will
fail, because it's likely to be the end of rational time worldwide, and even
if you do log in UTC, it will still make your life difficult.

I'm poleaxed; I can't even decide which grounds to scream about this on...

Hopefully, the House or the White House will be more coherent in their
decision on this engineering construct.
