I said for years that we should just use UTC everywhere and that people should wake up at offsets. One day my wife told me she was tired of hearing it and it was a stupid idea. That she could walk into nearly any town anywhere and know that at 9am she could walk into any bank, grocery, or diner. Sure there are other ways we could communicate offsets, days, whatever, but having everyone on the same daily schedule and just adjusting the schedule itself keeps it simple for most of the population.
