Splitting the difference on the clock screws up the point of reference on the globe worse than some places shifting an hour during part of the year.
split the difference and just move the clock a half hour next time and then leave it alone.

the time zones will all still be in the exact same places using the exact same lines.
humans completely made up the current clock a long arse time ago.
we realized the calendar was fricked up and made adjustments to it centuries ago.
If we figure out a way for 49 states to adjust their times 60 minutes twice every single year, then I'm pretty sure somebody can figure out a way to adjust them 30 minutes one time and then never again.
this coming March 10th, instead of moving your clock ahead 1 hour, only move it 30 minutes.
that's it. We're done.
don't have to move it again in the fall and again next spring, etc.
Edit to Add: a quick google search tells me there is zero consistency across the globe with Daylight saving time.
Us and most of Canada observe it.
Mexico and Central America do not. Most of South America do not.
Europe, Egypt, and Part of Australia observe it, and literally the entire rest of the Eastern Hemisphere do not.
and not anywhere close to a consensus on what dates the clocks change.
