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

@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.
