    How did people do before the oil crash and the reinstating of the daylight saving time?

    Different countries could have different timezones, the US work with different timezones

      Timezones solve an entirely different problem.

      Timezones solve the east west problem, while daylight saving time solves the “sun rises later in winter”-problem. So more like a north south problem - because seasons.

      If you want to suggest to create more “north south” timezones, you’d only make it more complicated than it is already. After all one of the more sane arguments is to remove complexity by removing DST. You’d bring complexity to a whole new level instead.

        North south timezones also dont work all that well really. the further you go both morning and evening move. so you just end up having to got to work in the middle of the night and come back in daylight or the other way round
