> We actually can't just use UTC as is and eliminate time zones completely. If we do so, people in some places would go to work at 2am, in other places at 8pm. That's even more confusing.

If we adopt hTime, people in some places would go to work at C:00, and in other places at U:00. What’s the difference, really? If you say that people in London think that 8-4 UTC (now 9-5 BST) are working hours and would be confused their NYC colleagues would say they are working 4-12 (now 9-5 EDT), then you get the same “confusion” if London thinks I-Q and NYC says N-V.
