You don't need to go to Mars to deal with timezones .. plenty of people right here who have absolutely no idea that half the planet is dark at any one time and still schedule global events in their colloquial timezone rather than UTC.

And I experience that idiotic practice mostly from Americans and American companies

I love when companies schedule things like trailers, lives, premieres etc etc when most of the world is asleep

If I'll ever schedule some important event for huge number of people, I'll use Martian time.
