So, how do you schedule with multiple parties in multiple regions when everyone has their own time? Do we go back to the horse and buggy where if you called the town over at 5pm and they are 6pm but the are 20km away?
Whats the work around here?
Right now, everyone does have their own time. In the current system, if someone in Boston, at 3pm, were to call up someone in Seattle and ask what time it is, the person in Seattle would say noon.
OP is proposing a single time zone for the whole world. So when it's 15:00 in Boston, it's also 15:00 in Seattle and even 15:00 in Tokyo. It would make sense logically, but from a daily life perspective, it'd be pretty terrible - noon would no longer mean the sun is directly overhead, except for one small part of the world.
So OP is trying to start a fight. Who gets noon overhead? Because your gonna get shooting wars over that, or you're go na spend the rest of your life in the dark because corporate is on the otherside.of the planet and 0800 is start time.
I'm sorry I'm trying to start a fight? How did you interpret my comment that way?
