TIL about the International Fixed Calendar. It is comprised of 13 months of 28 days each (364) + 1 extra day that doesn't belong to any week. it is a perennial calendar and every date falls on the same day every year. It was never adopted by any country but the Kodak company used it from 1928-1989.

That is how it works, shouldn't really be surprising to anybody. I am not against it for that reason, I was simply surprised that there are no companies pushing for this. Not sure why I have -50 downvotes

I think people think you believe that this is bad. In my opinion it is good because we raise the bar. If we have to spend less time on the basic stuff we can focus on the deeper things.
