Mexico Senate Votes to End Daylight Saving Time

Facts

Mexico's Senate on Wednesday approved a bill to eliminate daylight saving time — excluding cities bordering the US — showing a preference for more daylight during the morning hours and ending the twice-per-year changing of clocks.
With a 56-29 vote, the bill will now go to the desk of Pres. Andrés Manuel López Obrador for signing. The president has been a proponent of the bill that was previously approved by Mexico's Chamber of Deputies in October.
Mexico's Senate tweeted, "This new law seeks to guarantee the human rights to health and increase safety in the mornings, procure the well-being and productivity of the population, and contribute to saving electric energy."
Mexican officials stated that 71% of their population supports ending daylight saving time. They spoke about advantages reportedly ranging from health benefits to halting a policy that hadn't improved finances for families.
The US Senate in March unanimously voted to make daylight saving time permanent, but the House has yet to agree. Other countries like China, Russia, and India don't observe the time change, while the EU allows each country to decide for themselves.

Narrative A, as provided by PBS News. Daylight savings time is unhealthy, and should be abolished immediately. Data shows that changing the clocks twice a year can have significant health impacts, with the time change linked to strokes, heart attacks, and sleep deprivation. It's time to restore our circadian rhythms.
Narrative B, as provided by MarketPlace. Doing away with daylight savings could harm businesses and the economy, with consumers more likely to stop and shop on their way home from work if it's still light outside. The time change has benefits for recreation, home repair, outdoor sports, landscaping, and reducing auto accidents. There's good reason to keep the tradition of changing clocks twice per year.
