How the sunrise and sunset times would be affected by abolishing daylight saving time in the USA. Would you prefer to keep it or drop it? (files.catbox.moe)

Set all clocks to UTC military time and calendars to YYYY.MM.DD. Date change happens on UTC.

"My work hours are from 1400 to 2200 until 2024.12.21 at which time I will be available from 1200 until 2000. I will be on vacation from 2024.12.24 until 2025.01.07".

EDIT: I do think that the colon helps readability, so 24hr might be a better choice than military (14:00 to 22:00).

You’re describing Japan.

Japan uses JST not UTC. I mean use UTC globally.

Thisssssssssss! I work internationally and we use UTC, people would get used to the switch after a year at most and we would generally be a more functional society
