So one wonders why the whole world doesn't migrate to a single timezone.
There would be no more confusion between EST, CEST, GMT, +1100, etc.
The trade off, of course, would be that now you'd have to know the
"daylight" hours of a particular part of the world or business with whom
you wanted to interact, but the math sure would be easier all-round.
