I don’t follow why cancelling DST has the effect of moving the US fifteen degrees to the east. Also, your subject line reads “permanent DST”, but from your language the bill will be permanent standard time. 

I haven’t read the bill, but I’m hoping you can explain your position more clearly.

In a unanimous vote today, the US Senate approved a bill which would

1) Cancel DST permanently, and
2) Move every square inch of US territory 15 degrees to the east.

My opinion of this ought to be obvious from my rhetoric.  Hopefully, it will
fail, because it's likely to be the end of rational time worldwide, and even
if you do log in UTC, it will still make your life difficult.

I'm poleaxed; I can't even decide which grounds to scream about this on...

Hopefully, the House or the White House will be more coherent in their
decision on this engineering construct.
