Glad you see how reasonable it is that you all conform to NY time 
OK, let’s get rid of DST altogether, but also get rid of hours and minutes too.
I think, worldwide, it is the right time for metric time. Years are 100 days. Days are 100 centi-days, and each centi-day is 10 milli-days. No more 12’s and 60’s. Forget that nonsense. Everything is divisible by 10.
1 day. Everyone knows what that is.
1 centiday. About the time it takes to each a sandwich
1 milliday. About the time it takes climb 2 flights of stairs.
1 microday. A blink of the eye.

So it would take 3.65 years for the planet to go around the sun?

I think you might have these two reversed . . . I can certainly eat a sandwich much faster than I can climb two flights for stairs.
Which planet? Mercury?
The only planet worth talking about. Pluto.

Maybe the sun goes up and down multiple times per day…

Perhaps we should just start using stardates.

Trying to solve this kind of problem with legislation is impossible.
What we need is to build a giant magnetic gyroscope to permanently erase seasons.

The unit of time for the earth to circle the sun is as irrelevant to time measurement and the average length of a man’s foot or thumb (foot and inch) are to distance measurement.
Do you wonder how the Senate passed the DST bill by unanimous consent? Because many Senators had no clue there was a vote ongoing.
Any single senator could have blocked the daylight saving bill from passing but many didn’t know it was even happening. Sen. Rick Scott, a permanent daylight saving time proponent who signed a similar bill into law when he was governor of Florida, said he would have gone to give a speech on the Senate floor if he had known. Asked to recreate his reaction to the news, Sen. Chris Coons issued a series of shocked stammers that is impossible to phonetically translate.
One Senate source with knowledge of the situation said Sen. Tom Cotton vehemently opposes making daylight saving time permanent.
“No comment,” Cotton told BuzzFeed News when asked if he opposed the bill.
The source said that Cotton would have objected to the unanimous consent request, but his staff never told him it was happening.
“No comment,” Cotton told BuzzFeed News when asked why he didn’t object to the bill.

Interesting. Thanks for posting that.
Our government is filled with idiots. Useful idiots in this case, but still idiots.

i was thinking that living on GMT/Zulu time might be a good idea, but then phrases like “I stayed up to 3am” won’t mean anything. And also songs with time in them (2am or 3am) won’t make any sense in most geographies

Looks like we just need to make the time zone borders more diagonal.
