Yes, please, do it already!
It doesn’t even matter which they pick, just pick one! We’re free to live our lives independently from the clock. There’s no natural law that states work starts at 8.
UTC for all.
Man that would fucking blow for so many people.
The date would change in the middle of a business day

Fun fact: In some countries you can say “see you tomorrow” when going for lunch.
Like it changes at midnight?
I mean that’s not really the issue
The issue is like restaurants opening for dinner at 7AM and such
It would be a big cultural shift
Like if midnight was the middle of your solar day (and work day) like it would be in many countries, it’d be pretty tricky for a lot of things.
I see it as a giant hammer of a solution. The times you could just get used to be the day shift in the middle of stuff seems tough to me
Store hours:
Monday 20-24
Tuesday 0-6, 20-24
Etc
Or perhaps
Monday 20-06 Tuesday 20-06
But like bank transactions, rent being due on a certain day, like it all becomes tough in my opinion. Nevermind all the code that would be insanely broken
Bars already have schedules like that and it’s not an issue
You can add time to due dates to. It wouldn’t be that problematic. Or just keep the day only
Years ago, the EU parliament decided to abandon DST - with a vast majority. They sent it to the governments as “Homework” to determine whether to keep Summer- or Standard Time. Nothing came out of it.
The EU parliament didn’t vote to abandon DST, they voted for letting countries decide if they want to do DST or if they want to stick to one time zone. Apparently most countries decided to stick with DST.
They should obviously keep standard time. No one wants light at 10pm!!!
I would 100% rather light at 10pm than 4am where it’s totally wasted.

I always forget how far north a lot of Europe is. The fact Dublin is further north than most Canadian major cities throws me for a loop
Yeah it’s one of those weird map oddities that’s more noticeable on a globe.
We are mega fucked here if the gulf of Mexico ever stops sending us that warm water goodness.
I stand corrected. People seem to love evening sunlight
On the other hand, if we had not saved daylight we would have probably ran out by now.
That’s all very well for Spain who are fairly close to the equator, but us northerners would like to see some daylight in winter.
Then use a time zone that makes sense for that?
What’s preferred by Europeans, permanent standard time or permanent daylight time?
For me summer time (where we have light during the evening) is the best! Nothing comes even close to it
