Working on a global scale managing time zones can be a huge pain. Though most of the issues come from countries that decide to just change time zones, which happens more often than you might think.

On a personal scale if you, say, hear about an online event, then you would never have to double check time zones.

And on new year’s you would know that every human is counting back at the same time as you. Now isn’t that great?

The biggest drawback is that something changes. People really don’t like that.

Some phrases would lose their widely understood meaning, such as “9 to 5” or “me watching slime unboxing videos at 3 in the morning”. Shame, that.
