Months and weeks are completely independent, we could have an eight-day week and keep months precisely as they are now.
I think it's way too weird to actually do it, but it's less weird than having a cycle of months that's longer than a year.
Islam manages, somehow, to have a cycle of months that's substantially shorter than a year, and doesn't throw in an extra month from time to time like Jews do. I've always found that exceedingly strange, but I guess you get used to it.
- Seasons shift, who cares...
- Law overhaul (this is the ask, make it the law...)
- Consistent tracking mechanism (we aren’t throwing anything out)
Meaning you get more days off by shortening the work week than you do by making all of society adapt to adding an extra day to the week.
The calendar feels very illogical and made up compared to most measurement systems but there’s a reason why they are what they are! A much more realistic proposal would be to just give people every other Friday off. Or work one Friday a month, something like that.
