Can't believe the US is putting trains on the moon before making them viable on Earth

i still think timezones were a mistake, and that they shouldn't exist period. I have a long thread about this from an earlier post about timezones as well amusingly enough.

No link to the article in the picture?

Also, wouldn't it just be simple enough to make the Moon GMT, and be done with it?

You'd think so, but the problem is that because of gravity, clocks on earth and on the moon will very slowly run out of sync. Idk ask Einstein.

Please end timezones. We only need one universal one and that's it.
