Why don't we have one timezone covering the whole earth?
And instead changing the time work and other things happens depending on where you are. Would be easier to arrange meetings across the globe. Same thing applies to summertime. You may start work earlier if you want, but dont change the clocks!

We'd get used to it. In China they only use one timezone across the whole country, and they just accept that daylight is at different times in the East versus the West
94% of the population of China lives in east of the heihe-tengchong line, which means that for 94% of the population the timezone is at most 1 hour off of the "true" time, which is pretty normal.
Half of Canada's population lives in the Quebec-Windsor Corridor, but we still use like 7 separate time zones.
Also that 6% you're leaving out is more than twice Canada's population.
Half of Canada's population is less than the population of New York State. Y'all tiny. Maybe more people would live there if it wasn't a frozen wasteland.
Aww, you're cute.
Kinda like half the world knows December - March as winter but the other half knows of it as Summer
Months and seasons are much simpler because it's always a 6 month offset rather than anywhere between 1-24 hours depending on location. It also doesn't affect scheduling as much. If you're interacting with someone on the other hemisphere, the outside weather generally doesn't affect your decision in any meaningful way.
Yeah but somewhere between 87-90% of the population is in the northern hemisphere so for the vast majority December - March = Winter. Although I guess depending on local climate it might be more like dry vs rainy season, or not much difference between "winter" and "summer".
