okay so let's substitute one completely arbitrary time measurement (Greenwich Mean Time, which is basically "solar time outside an observatory in Greenwich, England") for an intricate set of time zones that is, admittedly, confusing, but also has some vague relationship to "solar time in the area covered by the time zone" it'll be great almost everyone on the entire planet will have to get used to workday hours being different numbers, and we'll still have to do timezone calculations when we want to try and make realtime contact with someone in what was formerly another time zone it'll be super awesome oh hell let's just all switch to Swatch Internet Time while we're at it, throw out all the analog clocks. (I mean yeah, fuck daylight savings time anyway, but sure let's throw out the baby along with the bathwater and make life marginally easier for people who regularly schedule intercontinental phone calls. They're the only people whose opinion matters evidently.)
