Read the paragraph from the text.
There are those who are against using Daylight Saving Time and are in favor of sticking with standard time year–round, but there is an alternative most people have never heard about because it has never been tried. According to the plan, the next time we set our clocks ahead one hour in the spring, we would never set our clocks back again. We would have a new standard time that would be one hour ahead of our current standard time. We would leave our clocks alone forever. We would reap the benefits of having extended sunlight in the evening and it would eliminate the hassle of messing with the time. A simple act of the United States Congress could instantly make it so.
How does the author's use of the phrases "reap the benefits" and "eliminate the hassle" impact the meaning?
