You seem to have missed at least part of my point. To keep with the monopoly example, you already can't assume that it's too late for anything or there's time for a game of Uno, because people have different rhythms and there's variance, so even if you know it's 2300 for them it still doesn't solve the problem, you are just making an assumption which may or may not be correct on any given day for any given person.

That would imply everyone living in the same time zone wake up at the same time, go to bed at the same time, etc, where this is clearly not even close to being true. If it's too late to start a monopoly game for you, you can just say so

Shops, schools etc should just have hours that make sense for the local solar time anyway

Good on you for asking instead of blindly following this "tradition", I hope you heed what most people are saying here. Progress happens one personal decision at a time, you can be a part of that

I will sometimes walk up to an hour or so to go somewhere but that's more occasional, for something I need to do regularly 30 minutes is the upper end. Above that, I would usually look at public transports, bike, or car options

1h15 for 3.7 km sounds quite slow though, I would expect closer to 45 minutes for that kind of distance around where I am

The way you would execute people reflects more on you than on the people you would execute

Proportional voting would actually make smaller parties be able to have representatives, breaking up the 2 party system and promoting more diverse point of views. You can also have mixed systems, with locally elected reps for a part of the house, and the rest of the house being filled in a manner that the end result is proportional to the global voting share

It's another story if you consider that every day is 100 hours

So you got up and immediately went to do it?

Only in Christmas Land

Well, you can count France as not part of most of Europe in that regard, only the areas that were German between 1871 and 1918 have them as public holidays
