This seems like such a simple thing to me, and yet the US just can’t seem to get it done. What are the issues preventing this?

    As a software developer, that idea can fuck right off. India being on a half hour is enough of a pain in the ass. 6 more half-off time zones is just too much.

      Yeah, I regularly deal with logs and its frustrating enough with them in UTC or local and trying to figure out which is being used. "This log is UTC and needs to be local? What’s 13:28 minus my offset which includes a half hour. " or vice versa and having to add the offset. A half hour time zone can fuck right off.
