What do we even have time zones for? Time zones are the kind of government over-regulation the Supreme Court has determined is unconstitutional and "not rooted in our nation's history." They were imposed upon us in the late nineteenth century by the railroads – who even takes the train anywhere anymore except for socialist Europeans? Every town should have the right to use its own time based on when it's actually noon in that town – you just have to see when the sun is high in the sky! And if the railroads don't like it, well, in the age of the GPS, they can easily determine their location and the local time. (Andrew Shields, #111words, 21 May 2022)
