get rid of timezones. i don’t mind if what used to be 0800 is then 2100. i’ll get used to it.
As much as timezones are a pain (I’m a programmer who recently finished working on an international calendar for an app), I don’t think getting rid of timezones is a great idea. https://qntm.org/abolish
I think a much better goal would be getting rid of daylight savings. THAT causes so much headache for little reason nowadays
why not have a single global timezone and people change their local numbers.
e.g. if you life in hawaii you stand up at 11pm and if people in russia work until 8am.
It already exists and is called UTC. I worked in an office that provided “follow the Sun” technical support, we had offices in France, Germany, Washington, New York, Australia, and everything ran on UTC time. Much easier to coordinate meetings and shift handovers. Took a while to learn to think in UTC time as well as local time, though.
Would be cool to just dismiss local time, as well
Florida panhandle should just succumb to eastern time for logistics sake imo
