@monkbent I’d be interested in knowing what the sunlight hours would be in the most extreme cases for the 2 time zone proposal

@tomloverro east coast would have an earlier sunrise, west coast a later one. Could suck in the winter in the east -
@monkbent That’s what I mean…how bad would it be? What would the worst affected city be? And what times for sun up / down at peak -
@tomloverro http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_points_of_the_United_States#Interpretation_of_easternmost_and_westernmost … West Quoddy Maine, 6/14, 4:13->3:13am Cape Alava, Wa, 12/11, 4:06->3:06pm via http://www.thesunrisetimes.com

@monkbent@apeatling this is a terrible idea. Sunset on the west edge of east tz would be in the middle of the afternoon during the winter. -
@ohryan@apeatling actually, it would be identical. Problem is coasts:https://twitter.com/monkbent/status/396323213577162752 …

@monkbent What a stupid idea. In some places sunset will be like 3 PM in winter, in others it will be light at like 11 in summer. No thanks.

An interesting argument for only 2 time zones in the US. “
@monkbent: 2 time zones, no DST http://qz.com/142199/the-us-needs-to-retire-daylight-savings-and-just-have-two-time-zones-one-hour-apart/ …”Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@monkbent Why not just have one time zone for the whole world? It would make international business and communication so much easier.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@monkbent@apeatling Let's divide countries and states up into equal meridians and parallels while we're at it. -
@JJJ Seems logical
