In the case of New York, we're only 1 degree off from dead center of our time zone.The way I see it is that for most of the year, we're expected to change our schedules to do everything that we do an hour earlier than you would otherwise do it. Your proposal would change it to 30 minutes, but make it year round so we don't have to change it twice a year. But why? Why should we lie about the time to make everyone do everything earlier? If you run a business, change your opening and closing times. Set your alarm to half an hour earlier and do everything accordingly. Daylight Saving, even permanent daylight saving, is just a massive lie. I'll grant you that there are places where the local time is just wrong, but that's a product of our use of standard time zones, where I would argue that the benefits of such a scheme outweigh the disadvantages. Maybe some time zone borders need to be shifted (Spain should not use Central European Time). |
