But that’s caused by changing the clock all the time, the opposite of what PeterisP proposed. When it comes to constant offsets[1], there are countries whose political time zones are shifted from their geographical time zones by 1h (Spain, Iceland) or even 2h (Western China). It doesn’t seem to be causing problems.
[1]: Because allowing the time to drift microscopically from human perception is indistinguishable from not changing it, only that after a sufficiently long time you live in a time zone shifted by a constant, only there was never really a big event to shift it. It’s like getting old - you don’t notice it, until it’s already happened.
