Odd how two far-left publications are pushing a (frankly completely stupid and redundant) argument calling the 7 day week tyrannical and then pushing a system that is actually tyrannical. Imagine each year having the exact same days/dates. Every 14th would be a Thursday every year for eternity. This is the need to control every aspect of peoples lives. Well and of course the destruction of the Christian week per the Bible.

You mean every 12th. And every month has a Friday the 13th.
And the Cotsworth Calendar is actually cool and we should totally adopt it. Here's how it works:
There are 13 months of exactly 28 days. At the end of the year there are one or two leap days that operate on the Gregorian system. The leap days are considered to be part of a "14th" month that is generally treated as a holiday, and/or lumped into the preceding month for purposes of billing.
From an accounting and scheduling perspective it would be much simpler to have fixed length months with a holiday leap. It would eliminate the "three check month" phenomena that hits most employees roughly quarterly, where the difference between biweekly pay and monthly bills results in a sudden jump or drop in cash on hand.
Here's an idea, let's not change the dating system we've used for centuries for no actual gain.
If you're too dumb to understand dates you're too dumb to live.
You know, there was a time when the first day of the year was March 25.
Yeah and there was a time we sacrificed goats to Zeus' cock and balls.
Yeah and it's because the days and months are pagan that Quakers started using numbers for days and months hundreds of years ago.
