    What’s the “logical” time zone?
    The one closer to Spanish solar time, or the one shared by most EU countries, which facilitates trade and cross-border cooperation?

      We don’t have our current time zone because of that. We have it because a fascist dictator wanted to be on the same time zone as Hitler.

      And the logical timezone is of course GMT, the one closer to Spanish solar time. It’s been proven that it’s not healthy to be in a timezone that doesn’t correspond to your solar time, unless you adapt all the schedules to follow the sun.

        Then adapt the schedules without making every cross-border interaction artificially messier
