President-elect Donald Trump on Friday confirmed that Republicans will work together to ditch Daylight Saving Time, the practice of changing the clocks by an hour twice a year.

    Instead of squawking over which to have, how about we all just uze Zulu time and eliminate the timezone confusion as well?

      Then you will have different work hours everywhere. Chaos.
      Or you would need to force a lot of people to work at strange hours.

          Sunrised in NY and CA at 7 am today in their respective time

          They are 3 hours apart in time zones.

          So if you wanted everyone to use same clock and for the sun to rise at 7am in NY. That would mean the sun would rise at 4am in CA.

          The sun would set at 1:30pm in CA

          Someone currently working a 9-5pm. It would become a 6-2pm job.

          How is that not going to cause chaos?

            Thats how many jobs already are. Jobs ending at 2pm in California because the majority of their market is already gone for the day. There is nothing chaotic about it at all. They are just numbers. We are open from 9-17. Hours posted, that’s when they are open. In New York when someone asks what time they are open the answer is 9-17, in Japan, it’s 9-17. No matter where you are in the world, look at your watch/clock/phone I should be able to say huh, it’s 11, they are open… I’ll give them a call. 0 chaos. No asking what time zone, no asking if it’s 11am or pm, just 9-17. Always the same for anyone who wants to do business with that business.

            Sidenote, think about how much cooler new years would be. Everyone on the planet moving to a new year at the same time. Not, well Terry is in Texas so it won’t be for another hour there.
