  Yes. There's no getting around the fact that the sun rises and sets around the world at different times. What we do instead is get rid of the assumption that everybody works 9am to 5pm local time. It does require a different way of thinking about time zones. It sounds complicated because it's unfamiliar, but if we ever make the transition, the system would be simpler, less ambiguous, and easier to reason about.
