The main hiccup is the system is off by a day. Some people “fix” this by saying the extra day should be “new years day” or something similar that exists outside the main calendar and doesn’t have an actual date or day assigned to it. Personally I think that’s kind of silly but it does work.

The second problem which to me is a much bigger problem, is he argues every month starting on Monday is a feature, I think it’s a bug. The result of this is every date is the same day, every year. If you are born on a Wednesday, your birthday will always be on a Wednesday. I like it mixing up and getting to have your birthday on different days.

Also almost everyone will have a new birthday they have to learn and too many people would simply be unwilling to go along with that.

And all that is ignoring the monumental task of changing every computer system in the world.

Edit: also 13 is just kind of a rubbish number to work with and doesn’t divide into anything nicely.

They also have hydropower which provides a constant base load, and basically they have just heavily optimised their distribution of power to be very efficient. In emergencies they are also able to import power from neighbouring countries.

Yeah but from an every day perspective you’ve basically got 250 or so units there for no reason.

I think the biggest problem is how does the landlord break lease? Because if you can be kicked out you lose all that you’ve accumulated against your will. If you can’t be evicted, you’ve forced the landlord to both keep you as a renter and keep ownership of the property until it’s paid by the renter, which isn’t necessarily realistic.

They should be able to sell the property if they need to. The person renting being part of the transaction and forced to be allowed to continue renting is only kind of a solution, because the new owners might want to live in that house, or have a say in who rents it. There’s also the issue of funds already accumulated by the landlord. Does that get deducted off the price they sell it for?

I think there’s just a few too many veriables for it to work as a solution.

I browse social media to find new ideas that I can’t think of.
