During the past few decades, a trend has occurred where most countries have eliminated Daylight Savings Time and switched to year-round standard time.
Some, like Russia, first attempted to use year-round daylight time before correcting the mistake with year-round standard time. Several years ago, Mexico eliminated Daylight Savings Time except in areas that are close to US states that observe it.
However, the US may buck that trend. A bill was introduced in 2022 to create year-round daylight time in the United States, but like has happened elsewhere, states using year-round standard time prevented its advance to the House floor.
This market resolves to YES if the Federal government mandates that all states, including those using year-round standard time currently, use year-round daylight time before December 31, 2029, and the US is still using year-round daylight time on December 31, 2029. If the US ceases to exist before then, it resolves to N/A. Otherwise, it resolves to NO.
Because most countries that have enacted year-round daylight time, including the US itself in the 1970s, have considered the change a failure and reverted it, this question requires that the switch is not immediately reverted.
