This is excellent. With the rise of air conditioning, daylight savings has considerably less electricity savings than it used to. It will also make timekeeping more consistent. I have lived in Arizona for the past few years and it is pleasant to know that you will always be at UTC-7:00.
True, but this keeps daylight savings permanent not standard time.
Won’t take effect until 2023, but good to see it happen.
Can you explain to me why this is good. It seems like a pain, but I assume there must be a good reason for it. Does it truly save energy? Is this documented somewhere?
Such a terrible idea compared to permanent standard time. There is plenty of light during the summer, so there's no need to optimize for that. The winter is when daylight is scarce, so that's what should be optimized for.

Which is what this effectively does. We can get sunset at 5pm instead of 4pm in the winter in Seattle now. Really, the choice is a tradeoff between earlier sunrises or later sunsets.
What does this mean in terms of short-term, real-world effect in the US?
Please let this pass before "fall-back"
personally, i just want to punch the moving clock in the face. it nearly killed me last year when I was just starting to get an exercise routine at the end of winter, and then it sent me back into the dark by an hour, completely fucking up my schedule. i absolutely blame many of my problems on these flip flopping clocks, and I do not think i am alone.
