For far too long our nation has existed in a state of spatiotemporal segregation. This proposal is designed to unify our nation in time, creating an environment where business men and women will no longer have to cross-reference time zones when dialing into a conference call and/or confirming meeting times. A relic of well over a century, the concept of four time zones (as well as daylight savings time) was once seen as a necessary component of a prosperous, mainly agrarian society. Put more simply, prior to the advent of artificial lighting (read: light bulbs) in our homes, our lives were dictated by the rising and falling of the sun. As our economy has transitioned to a mainly service-oriented economy, our use of separate time zones has changed. It is "time" for change.
