So people doing international business have to adjust to America’s insanity.
They already do for lots of other things. Where’s the cutoff then?
You realize American schools and businesses already change their start times twice a year?
American schools and business certainly don’t change their start times; the federal government changes the times. If left up to American businesses they’d “fall back” every day during business hours and then “spring ahead” while you slept so that they could work to death more.
The numbers stay the same, but the actual time doesn’t?
Because the only way to mandate anything like this over the size of a massive country is at the federal level. Without the federal level we’d be back to the railroad days where each town had its own time zone.
I know that the European mind can’t comprehend how large of a landmass the United States are so here’s a map of how many European countries fit into the US

The EU can barely agree on much; I doubt you’d be able to agree on this.
