@@nouon4220 sure it would solve a few problems, it would just also generate several hundred problems. The idea behind zoning time it to have large areas of economic cooperation able to be uniform in their schedules and thus aid logistics, time management, transportation and most importantly consistency. If I travel a few dozen miles west, I don't have to worry about businesses having a different schedule. What might be open till 8pm in my area is suddenly only open until 750 or 745 lets say. And if you'd propose only rigid hour incremental adjustments then you'd still have time zones, just defined differently and almost certainly with a negative economic impact.

I empathize with people stuck in Lubbock. Someone very close to me was trapped there a few years for work. He works in a very niche field, where jobs are few and far between. He's used to moving around and adjusting, but Lubbock was a unique level of hell. Recently, he actually transitioned to a different career path just to get out of there. And he's not alone: I'm not convinced he's met _anyone_ who legitimately *wants* to live there. Like him, his colleagues are stuck because of work and aching to pick up and leave as soon as they find another job opportunity in their field. It is not my intention to mock the people in or from Lubbock, and if you like it there, I am happy for you. I detest snobs who think there's nothing worthwhile outside of NYC or LA, and think everyone in 'flyover states' wants to live and be like them. I certainly don't claim my small rural hometown is paradise, I poke fun at it lovingly; and faced years of teasing because of my accent. After a lifetime of bouncing from state to state, I can usually find the charms and hidden gems in different cities. Lubbock has been the sole exception.

[@actionsub]

I have considered relocating from St. Louis to Lubbock for two reasons: 1- the semi-arid climate would be great for my wife's asthma 2- It's not Midland. I have kin down there. Midland/Odessa makes Lubbock look like paradise.

[@CanadianCountryBoyJ]

Fun fact, the map shown at 3:43 is only accurate for half the year. The Canadian province of Saskatchewan (the rectangle jutting out on the western edge of the central time zone in Canada) never changes time at daylight savings time, meaning that for half of the year it is on Central time and half the year it is on Mountain time. Or as regionally referred, it always remains on "Saskatchewan time".

This timezone split happens in Australia. In the northern parts you get up with the sun all year round (for the most part), and for the more southern parts, for example Melbourne you get up in the dark most of the year - for a wake up time of 7.30am. My personal experience is that an early rising sun can greatly impact the start of your day, especially since it helps warm the day up earlier!

[@magentamonster]

Is it because of daylight saving time, greater seasonal differences in more extreme latitudes, or both? Or could it be because of the longitudes of the cities? As Melbourne is more western than Brisbane, for example. Yet it has the same time zone in the winter, and an earlier one in summer. So of course its solar time is going to be later relative to its official time than in the case of Brisbane.

[@nickhiscock8948]

What would is having reduced business hours during winter time eg 10am to 4pm instead of 9am to 5pm. So in winter everyone starts 1 hour later and gets home 1 hour earlier. It certainly would make the Victorian winter less depressing.

You see, in the modern age. There's another problem living on the very edge of a time zone. I used to live in a small town in Indiana, about 1 mile east of the Indiana/Illinois state line. Illinois is on CST, and Indiana is on EST (for the most part). I worked in a small little brick and mortar with people from both time zones. The big issue though, was cellphones. See, this is rural area I'm talking about. And sometimes things happen. So if the cell tower closest to you on the Indiana side of the Wabash River decides to go on the fritz phones like to pick the tower *on the other side* of the river in Illinois..those towers, are on CST. If you have your phone set to auto-sync the time, and you have an alarm set for 8 AM in your phone and this happens...well...now you're an hour late for work and there's nothing you can do about it.

Does seem weird Spain and Portugal are an hour apart. By any normal definition they should be in GMT. Logically France should be in GMT, but I think Napoleon decided to make them an hour ahead just to be different!

[@noefillon1749]

@@rogink Well normally France and Spain should be on UTC and Portugal on UTC-1 and it was the case between 1911 (when French time turned back by 9 minutes from the Paris' time, the official time since 1891, to GMT) and 1940. Summer time (at UTC+1) was created in 1923. In 1940, the Germans changed the time of the part of France the got, so France was divided in 2 time zones, causing huge difficulties mainly for trains. The French government decided to change the time of the rest of France to this of Germany. At the end of the war, De Gaulle decided to move back to the former time in 2 steps but after the first step (from UTC+2, German summer time, to UTC+1), the plan was abandoned. So France stayed at UTC+1 without changing during summer until 1975. In 1975, after the oil shock, they decided to set back the summer time (at UTC+2). One little thing changed in 1996 : the switch between summer time and winter time was moved from the last Sunday of September to the last Sunday of October. My source: fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heure_en_France English equivalent (much shorter): en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_France So everything happened a long time after Napoleon.

Welcome to northern canada, europe and asia. The sun doesn't go down enough at summer leading to sleeplessness.
