I want to be really clear:

I honestly don't care if we stay on Standard or Saving Time; both have their pros and cons. I object to having to profoundly adjust my life twice a year for reasons that don't make sense for most people in a modern context.

@aleen not only should the time not change twice a year, but actually there should be no time zones. The whole world should be on UTC. China makes this work.

@afwaller @aleen this!

@afwaller @aleen order of preference:

  • whole world as UTC, never changing
  • timezone closest to real noon modulo regional boundaries, no DST
  • whatever but at least no DST
  • none of the above / further discussion
  • what we have now

@mirabilos
South Africa is 2nd (or third, matches too) in your list.

No DST is awesome!
