How can we get rid of the time zones in the continental US?
Think about what getting rid of them would mean. It would mean all of the states would have the same time, but the that does not change when the sun rises or sets in a certain region. For example, there is a 3 hour difference between Washington D.C. and L.A. at the moment. Let’s assume that all times for the U.S. are set to EST. If the sun rises in Washington D.C. at 7am, that means the sun will not rise in L.A. until 10am. Is that practical for business? No Likewise, if the sun sets at 9pm in Washington D.C., the sun would not set on the Califonia coast until midnight or later. The time zones are necessary so that most commerce is done during daylight hours for that particular region.
