Mexico proposes to end daylight saving time

Mexico’s president has introduced a bill to end daylight saving time , ending the practice of changing clocks twice a year. Health Minister Jorge Alcocer said Mexico should return to God’s clock or standard time, arguing that turning the clock back or forward would damage health. Mexico switched to daylight saving time in 1996, a move that did little for the country. Mexico isn’t the only country that has recently decided to change daylight saving time, the U.S. Senate passed a bill earlier this year to make daylight saving time permanent in the U.S. Mexico is closer to the equator and it would be more beneficial for it to drop DST.
