    All that means is that the layout of the time zones is stupid. Noon is noon, and my opinion is that clock noon should be as close to solar noon as possible.

    or we should eliminate time zones entirely and use a single clock time worldwide.

      Eliminating time zones would be pretty amazing.

      If we eliminated DST for the summer, or would not have permanent DST, we’d need to change culture to not have 9-5 banking/office work days but rather 8-4, 7-3 or 6-2, similar to how the trades already work.

        Realistically we already do. There’s enough variation in start times… yeah 9-5 is traditional but plenty of places have slightly different times
