    Shit programmers say…

    The problems of time zones only affect a handful of people, the wast majority of people nearly never think about this.

    Epoch or standard time would just rename time zones, beucause currently you say hour offset from London, with “no timezone” you would have to say something like, noon is at 05:00 utc/epoch at that city, so nothing really changed

    Industries where it actually matters already use UTC for everything, e.g. international flights.

    It would make more sense to switch to base 10 minutes and hours than to “solve” the time zones
