How about this year, Americans on Eastern Standard Time do not observe Daylight Saving Time, and stay on the same time? Americans on Central and Rocky Mountain time will spring forward as planned, but for the last time.
To start I propose two time zones, instead of four, for the continental United States. I propose time zones that better complement global commerce and enhance coordination. This is madness and it must stop.Īs we set our clocks forward this Sunday (or two weeks from Sunday, or two weeks from Friday or Saturday or not at all), I repeat my Modest Proposal: let’s end seasonal time changes and, while we are at it, reorganize time zones entirely. Not to mention an uncountable number of missed connections and minutes of forgone productivity wondering what time it is in Paris and Tehran. The poorly coordinated time changes are projected to cost the airline industry $147 million a year in travel disruptions alone.
How can we expect peace in the region when they can’t coordinate time change?Īnd so starts weeks of international business chaos when no one can remember what time zone each country is on. Several countries in the Middle East also observe daylight savings, though most of them do so on different days of the week. Many countries in Europe will set their clocks forward on March 29. Several Caribbean Islands (including Cuba) will also set their clocks forward.
