Yes. I don't understand your point.All the days of the year have the same length, do they not?
Ok, I meant the day with the longest period of daylight.

Ironic, coming from you.Americans just love to complain and worry about the stupidest shit....... its one measly hour.
I thought it said “to the sea, to the sea”(?)Time, keeps flowing like a river
To the season, to the season
Till it's gone forever
Gone forever
Gone forevermore

I get that in a way. Otoh, having time zones is such a shorthand way of capturing what part of their day you're catching others in. Seems like that gives a lot of insight of why they might feel rushed by lunch, the end of the day, fatigue or whatever.
"Rather than try to regulate a variety of time zones all around the world, we should instead opt for something far easier: Let's destroy all these time zones and instead stick with one big "Universal Time."
Does that sound extreme? Perhaps, but perhaps not. This map at the top of this post gives you an idea of what the world looks like now, and what it would like if we instead stuck to single system of Universal Time. The logic of Universal Time is strikingly simple: If it's 7 in the morning in Washington D.C., it's 7 everywhere else in the world too. There are no time zones. Wherever you are, the time is the same.
While it may ultimately simplify our lives, the concept would require some big changes to the way we think about time. As the clocks would still be based around the Coordinated Universal Time (the successor to Greenwich Mean Time that runs through Southeast London) most people in the world would have to change the way they consider their schedules. In Washington, for example, that means we'd have to get used to rising around noon and eating dinner at 1 in the morning. (Okay, perhaps that's not that big a change for some people.)
But in many other ways, Hanke and Henry argue, the new system would make communication, travel and trade across international borders far, far easier."
For those who don't subscribe, you can good Hanke Henry, the economist and astronomer who are advocating this.
My kids definitely weren’t happy about being woken up this morning.Hated waking up in darkness this morning with no daylight till about 7:40. At least my kids are grown and I no longer have to fight waking them up in the darkness.
