@AngloRoam@MarcusDAurelius If you think all American states are the same, it’s obvious you haven’t been outside of a 5 mile radius from downtown in the biggest cities. Go explore them beyond the cities.
@erenfromtargets Spirit has been in and out of bankruptcy for a few years now and so far nothing has really worked. They’ve managed to just barely stay afloat with what they had, and honestly, even with the bailout they probably wouldn’t exist more than a few more months. They’re done.
@RondureGyre@laoden@NoteNeeded Adding more timezones would align better with natural noon anyway. Most of the eastern seaboard should be on Atlantic time, and adding that would shorten the other time zones (and alleviate a lot of the complaints around needing DST)
@laoden@RondureGyre@NoteNeeded Okay, so you’re not what’s being talked about here. There’s places in the CONUS that would get a sunrise at 3:45am if standard time were permanent.
@LinkofSunshine I wouldn’t even be mad if standard time became the norm PROVIDED that they move the time zones. Most of the east coast should be on Atlantic, part of the Midwest on EST and part on Central, move MT over some too.
@Selebrian87@mrsdobbins_ Permanent standard time would also mean that some places would experience sunrises before 4am. I’d rather have a late sunrise and late sunset than a sunrise I’m sleeping through and a sunset when I’m doing afternoon activities.
@SaveStandard Permanent standard time would mean sunrises as early as 3:45am for some places. If anything, timezones need to be adjusted BEFORE implementing permanant standard OR dst.
@BrozWx I don’t think we necessarily need half hour timezones, but they do need to be shifted. Most of the eastern seaboard should realistically be on Atlantic time
