Okay, timezones do some silly things. But am I the only one thinks it might be good to avoid having nightfall at 5pm on one coast and 8pm on the other? 1/2 the country wouldn’t be able to enjoy outdoors after work.
And, if you’re eco-friendly, you have to support them. Daylight savings time saves the nation around 1% in energy costs for that one hour of daylight after work. Now take away 3 hours, drill baby drill!
So maybe it’s not that the concept of timezones are stupid (as the gentleman in the photo claims) but perhaps just the oddly inconsistent execution of them around the world?
