My dream world would have 86400 time zones, one per arc-second of the globe, so we can all sync our clocks at high noon.

My dream world is we apply time zone logic to every other unit of measurement.

1 metre can be 100cm or 200cm depending on the season and your location

Time zones are a pain, but it might be too much to fix.

Now, 13 month calendar with each month 4 weeks, on the other hand..

But if we abolish time zones how will we keep trains from hitting each other on the tracks?

Sounds good on paper, terrible idea in practice.
