I agree on permanent standard time, but just because I think it's silly to make the words "noon" and "midnight" permanently lies. Unless someone is at the edge

I agree on permanent standard time, but just because I think it's silly to make the words "noon" and "midnight" permanently lies. Unless someone is at the edges of an extremely wide time zone solar noon and legal noon are generally to be within 30 minutes of each other. Likewise for midnight. With time zones generally set on hour intervals that's as good as it gets.
In a "daylight savings only" world solar noon will instead center around 13:00 and solar midnight around 01:00. To me that's just absurd.
- Brian_K_White 5y agoIt is. If "people want more daylight hours after work" and it's worth making sweeping disruptive changes to make it happen... Then just make the workday from 8 to 4 instead of 9 to 5. No no, instead of making a sane clock and using whatever times we want on it, it obviously makes more sense to make a messed up clock. What other measuring implements and scales should we move around so the numbers please us better? Everything is expensive, let's change the way any monetary value is written to be -1 based. Henceforth all prices shall be written on a scale that starts at -1 instead of 0. If a thing cost $4 yesterday, it now costs the same 4 dollars, but the price is written as $3. This will give e eryone more money! I call it permanent wallet saving prices!
