As a software dev who has lost weeks of his life dealing with timezones, leap days, daylight savings time, date math and other associated nonsense I fully support this being the way the world is. I don't want to go through the transition to get there though
Bad news: this has nothing to do with timezones, leap days nor daylight saving time. Honestly, leap days would be worse because they wouldn't be part of the 7 day week
It's accounted for just like any other leap year, add it to the end of a month as a universal holiday. Most calendar models make it July 29. It's also worth noting that this is actually 364 days, and a single day at the end of the year is a universal holiday.
Edit: I think leap years should be at the end of the year too for simplicity.
That would just be new year. I've already have a list ready for how to name all the months, so we don't fuck it up like September being the 9. Month again.
Ooh, tell me what the names would be! Don't leave me hanging. I HATE that September - December are all off.
Nice.
Wheezed at this, thanks
