A proposal suggests abolishing traditional time zones in favor of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to standardize global timekeeping. This shift, championed by economist Steve H. Hanke, aims to simplify scheduling, enhance safety, and align with the time standards already used by industries like aviation and finance. While the U.S. House of Representatives recently passed the Sunshine Protection Act to end seasonal clock changes, Hanke argues this is insufficient and that adopting UTC would allow for a return to solar time, aligning daily activities with natural light cycles and potentially improving health by reducing social jet lag.
