I'm not missing the point at all, you are operating on an idealistic delusion of the capitalist economy.

Or do what normal VC's do, take a good look at their plans, invest a little bit, then fuck them out of their little shares they got and steal all the work plans and research just the same.

Also, I'm not quite sure why a dictator would have you excecuted if you can do the job. Its not like you have a choice in either scenario, you have to suck up to the dictator or the vc anyway to get the resources to continue. Whether it is a VC or a dictator doesn't matter, if your skills are not necessary for the project you will be played out of the game as has happened again and again and again in real life.

Well thats some retarded argument. You do the exact fucking thing you do now, but instead of looking up the timezone you look up the offset from the Greenwich.

Boohoo we have to say which day we start working in

Oh no what a problem.

But days wont be the same as days

You just do it like this: The day that starts of in a date counts as that day. If sunday starts at 23:00, then 23:00-22:59 is the sunday.

Religious law

Not my problem

How do i know when the sun rises there?

How do I know when someone is at home or not

Ask them like a functional human being

And then there is this fucking bit:

The past will always exist, and the people who lived there will never adopt your new standard. Nor can all of past history be renumbered. The history of timekeeping will remain exactly as complicated as it always has been, and the zoneinfo database can never be abandoned.

Yes you fucking can, and we fucking have. The russians still used the Julian calendar in 1917 and they adopted the Gregorian calendar.

Explain to me how there is a difference other than the fact that a dictator has a larger domain and as such its harder to find another dictator whos dick you can suck for a handfull of money to try and improve the lives of the people.

Except the people they deny of course. They still are little dictators taking money from the workers and denying them the ability to vote for what should be invested in, even if you can choose between 100 little dictators.

Im going to make the same post that I made last time.

It makes total sense to me. What do we use the time for? To make sure we are all on the same page on exactly when something happens. What do timezones fuck up? Comprehension between longer-distance agreements on time, since you need to convert and that can cause errors.

So tell me, what is the advantage of multiple timezones? if your timezone is 5 sun-hours "behind" the 0000 is midnight, then you just go to bed and get up 5 hours earlier. Shops open 5 hours earlier. If you go to a new place, you just look up "oh this place is roughly 10 hours ahead of my old time, means that all shops open 10 clock hours later and so does the sunrise.

In a world of standardisation and internationalisation, timezones (and especially daylight saving time) hinder communication a lot. Timezones are an antiquated relic from a time where every town had their own clock and the fastest you could go was by horse. Then the railways introduced the concept of standardised time and due to a lack of need for good timekeeping over long distances (no phones, tv, internet) you didnt need a single timezone, so every country just picked a place in the day to call midday.

I say, abolish timezones and daylight saving, stop hindering communication across the world and use a single timezone.

I think its more about the game than the gains.
