And instead changing the time work and other things happens depending on where you are. Would be easier to arrange meetings across the globe. Same thing applies to summertime. You may start work earlier if you want, but dont change the clocks!

      12h offset is where it causes the maximum confusion to society because the date changes right in the middle of the day. In our personal and professional live, we never considered the date can change right in the middle of the day, causing wide variety of minor inconvenience in our daily life. Some examples of minor inconveniences:

      • Celebrating new year at noon. No more firework shows (could be good for the environment?).
      • Is today your friend’s birthday yet? Or is it in the afternoon?
      • should we celebrate christmas on 24th-25th or 25th-26th? Will Santa sneaks into our house at noon?
      • and possibly more minor inconveniences…
