Extremely curious how so many people who support abolishing time zones turn out to live thousands of km closer to the equator than me

The most common proposal I hear is to abolish winter time and use summer time all year, which would mean the sun comes up around 10am here in midwinter, absolutely incredible idea

I never really thought about it but Glasgow must actually be one of the northernmost major cities in the world, depending on how you define “major city". Like, Oslo and Helsinki and St. Petersburg are further north, but there's not too many others

@julesh I'll add Reykjavik, Iceland an Anchorage Alaska to your list.

I don't want the whole world to give up what we call Daylight Savings Time, I just want California to stop switching and always be UTC+7:00 which in my part of the state is only 35 minutes off of local mean solar noon. If our neighbor Arizona can do it we can too.
