When dealing with anything across timezones the reality is you ARE dealing with 2 time contexts.

1) global time. i.e. UTC

2) local “sun” time. i.e. local timezone

When scheduling a meeting you are trying to find an intersection of global and local time that works.

It’s messy but also our physical reality. The conversion still needs to be done, just in the article the person is living in global time and having to convert to local time when needed. Vs living in local time and converting to another different local time.
