I understand what you say on an idealistic level, but of all things, we (as a species) really ought to be able to agree on what time it is. Time doesn't stop at the border and in this particular case, it would be silly to come up with even more convoluted systems just because somebody wants to be a snowflake.

We understand each other on an idealistic level because I agree with you. But leaving idealism behind and focusing on practicalities of today, while time zones exist and time is changed based on daylight, places with wildly different values that affect that change should have some say in it.
