    That would require a lot more timezones. Solar noon fluctuates by an hour depending on which side of the same time zone you’re in, and that’s not even considering all the timezones that are offset for geographical convenience.

      I obviously didn’t write clearly. I’m not objecting to DST or timezones as they exist. I’m was trying to point out that there are unresolved disconnections between solar time and the ways we want to set our clocks.
