TranscriptionA map of the world with vertical lines marking the time zones from UTC-12 to UTC+12. It has a legend:

Wrong Time

"Natural time zones" are 15° in longitude. Land in red observes a time other than the zone it lies within. Smaller islands depict their 12 nautical mile territorial sea, for visual effect. In some cases this includes a state's archipelagic waters.

Time zones are fundamentally wrong and immoral. Only the Time Cube is correct.

Absolute classic.

I would have voted for the TimeCube guy over Trump.
