“The insane software developer in me wants to just smear the time across the US uniformly and do away with timezones all together.”

I think China has that. Why not do it world wide? The math would be much easier.

Also let’s get a 10 hour day with 10 minute hours. Ideally I would have a 100 day year but the sun probably won’t cooperate.

It fucks over the minorities living in rural China.

It screws over everyone in China not living on the coast, since the one-true-time for China is Beijing time.

Somehow this calls to mind why Detroit is in the Eastern timezone, because the companies there wanted to be in step with the one-true-time of New York City.
