That does not work particularly well at northern latitudes where sun goes below the horizon for couple of hours in the summer, if that. And it would create time zones between latitudes even within the same country where the difference changes from day to day.
- fluffything 7y agoOur time-zone system is already flexible enough for regions for which this is a problem to pick up something else that works for them (we already have regions that use DST and regions that do not). I live in Austria and it makes absolutely no sense for me to use the exact same system as somebody in the north pole, or for me and those in the north pole to "compromise" on a system that's bad for both of us.
