How did we screw up time zones so much?

• SllX 7y ago
  We invented and then implemented time zones and then invented and then implemented daylight savings time; arbitrarily and with arbitrary laws and treaties. There are days where I think I should go back to a mechanical watch and adjust the time each day at high noon. It won’t agree with anyone else’s time most of the time, but at least it will be correct.

    But won't it be wrong as soon as you start travelling east or west, though?
