Actually, that would be worse - as our U.S. hour would fall on everyone
else's half-hour.

A time-zone realignment would be less damaging. Without regard to political
boundaries, every timezone would be centered on each longitude divisible by
15 +/- 7.5 degrees. It's the political alterations that are insane in some
cases. Fixing that would help in some cases. It's all the railroads' fault
anyway.
