I feel that this is what we should be using instead of the current illogical time system.

    Ok, it’s still more trouble than just remembering “France is +6 from where I am so I can call any business over there at 8am local no problem.”

    The only proponents of getting rid of time zones are people who only think about how it fits their own situation while ignoring that in the vast majority of cases it makes things simpler to have time zones.

      8am is too early for anything….

      but regardless, imagine if you are meeting with 10 people all in different time zones. some in Arizona which doesn’t have DST. most don’t work 8-5 or whatever because thats old fashioned and sucks life from you. I’d rather know when you work on a single single clock. no confusion. it would take a couple months for everyone to adjust to their new clock and then everyone would be in sync. yeah its a fantasy, but things are more connected every day. think of the boon for travelers and airlines.

        Yeah I tend to agree, I schedule things with people across the world regularly and coordinating the time zones and business hours is a pain. If everyone used the same clock it would eliminate part of that issue.
