World: Russian lawmaker: These time zones annoy me. Let’s get rid of them!

  • Your country’s huge. What do you expect? Gennady Lazarev, a lawmaker in the country’s Primorye region, says that limiting the number of time zones in Russia – eleven from the country’s most eastern point to its most western – could help make trade and traffic just a little easier to deal with. “Our working day ends when it starts in Moscow. It’s both inconvenient for us and Moscow,” he says. Man, if we become politicians, we want the power to change time. That’d be AWESOME! source
