And instead changing the time work and other things happens depending on where you are. Would be easier to arrange meetings across the globe. Same thing applies to summertime. You may start work earlier if you want, but dont change the clocks!

I think if I had to wake up to the moon to write emails and make spreadsheets until sun up so my boss could read them in sunlight from their balcony I would cause dire problems.
The point is that you would still wake up with the sun, you just wouldn’t call it 08:00, you’d call it 02:00 or 16:00 or… depending on where you live in the world.
That seems even more useless, then, because if I wanted to contact someone elsewhere on the planet, I’d still have to check the local working hours vs the local time.
You have to do that anyway.
So there will be no improvement by making a global change that needs everyone to agree to re-learn the systems they are already familiar with.
There will be sn improvement of course. That kind of thinking is why the USA still uses imperial after 200 years of the metric system.
It isn’t an improvement and your comparison is false.
How? What’s improved? I still need to look up what the local working ours would be in a certain area I’m trying to call as 9-5 in what is currently EST would be 12-8 in PST. That’s pretty much the same as checking the time zone difference. What’s changed? It would also create regional specific timing. If I’m from North Carolina and I’m talking to someone from Sweden, the idea of “waking at four thirty in the goddamn morning” would need to be translated into a local understanding of what that means. I think this would create far more ambiguity than it would eliminate and I’m not sure what benefit comes from it.
Why is that better?
Working on a global scale managing time zones can be a huge pain. Though most of the issues come from countries that decide to just change time zones, which happens more often than you might think.
On a personal scale if you, say, hear about an online event, then you would never have to double check time zones.
And on new year’s you would know that every human is counting back at the same time as you. Now isn’t that great?
The biggest drawback is that something changes. People really don’t like that.
Some phrases would lose their widely understood meaning, such as “9 to 5” or “me watching slime unboxing videos at 3 in the morning”. Shame, that.
What are you on about? Countries don’t just decide to mess with their time. And for the one a decade change you can just look it up. And I have no wish to count backwards with you people.
You are allowed to admit that it is a dumb idea.
How about you do some research rather than dismiss everything offhand because you reckon you know better?
