The problems are that UTC is unpredictable,
That's because the earth rotation is unpredictable. Any time based on this buggy planet's movements will be unpredictable. Let's patch it now!
So, what we should do is make clocks move. 99999 slower half of the year (and then speed back up) so that we're really in line with earth's rotational time. I mean we've got the computers to do it (I think most RTC only go down to thousandths so it'll still need a little skewing but I'm sure we'll manage).
Ps - if anyone actually does this, I'm going postal.
