I'd support the 4 day work week first, then get rid of DST.

I always wanted to do 12 months each having 30 days and 5 days known as "PARTY ON DUDES!!!"
[–] klobos 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
That was a real thing in Roman? times. If I remember correctly they considered those five days as nonexistent and had a huge party/orgy and did whatever they wanted since those days weren't part of life.

They also had 9 day weeks.

Thanks to the discussion on Eddit about this.
The Cotsworth Plan, proposed in 1902, is a Solar Calendar. Quarters would each be 13 weeks long. The one "spare" day would be New Year's Day.
I like to have the weekend at the end of the week, both days together on the calendar. The day that starts the week varies around the world.
The new Friday 13th would be Friday 13th on the 13th Month.
There is already an ISO standard for naming dates: ISO-8601, which uses our existing system.
Though people might argue that attempting to change our calendar system is futile, what examination of this issue does clearly show is how we could have benefited from logically thought out, scientific standardization from the very beginning. We could be the beneficiaries now, and with calendars or similar issues, we could benefit in the future.

yaaahhh, would work except for how all of our computer systems are set for our current system if we did this it would cause sooooo many problems on computers

Just start using it and act pretentious when others don't understand you. "What you're still on that old calendar. We're on the International Fixed calendar now."

This will never be approved because there is a Friday the 13th every month
