This is part of what I find "quaint" about the conversation. I think there is basically no argument that many states and nations could just stick to a single timezone. Essentially, the closer to the equator you are, the less you are impacted by daylight changing. So, calling it "quaint" is wrong. But a lot of talking past each other. The shift in daylight is much more dramatic for people further from the equator.
