    China has 1 timezone over a region where more than 5 exist. If this big timezone can work for one country it can work for all countries. World wide Chinese time. some-controversy

    I love scheduling work meetings with people in ukkk because they change their clocks on different schedules than amerikkka so there’s no simple way to remember the time difference. Plus reoccurring meetings inevitably get fucked up by time changes.

    Australia is actually so fucked up here. In Queensland they did two separate multi-year trials of daylight saving and ultimately concluded to not adopt it. Western Australia had four separate public referendums on DST, each with corresponding temporary trials. All of them resulted in not adopting it. The state has only had 7 public referendums ever, so more than half of them have been about DST. After all this, they still don’t have DST.
