Eliminating time zones would be pretty amazing.

If we eliminated DST for the summer, or would not have permanent DST, we'd need to change culture to not have 9-5 banking/office work days but rather 8-4, 7-3 or 6-2, similar to how the trades already work.

Realistically we already do. There’s enough variation in start times… yeah 9-5 is traditional but plenty of places have slightly different times
