Leap Day -- February 29, a date that occurs every four years -- revives interest in the Hanke-Henry Permanent Calendar because under it, that date wouldn't exist.
"It's simplicity and consistency forever," Hanke, a professor of applied economics, told CNN. "This calendar, once in place, will never have to be changed."Theirs is a permanent calendar, so dates will no longer "fall" on certain days of the week -- they'll be fixed in place. January 1 will always be on a Monday. Your birthday will fall on the same day of the week every year, forever, Hanke said.
"If our permanent calendar was adopted, you'd be simplifying all kinds of commercial life, and just life in general would be a lot simpler," Hanke said. "Once we got that, we felt like we hit a triple," he said. "Then we tweaked it a little bit, and it's a homer."
CTV is regurgitating CNN, 🤦♀️it just shows how far in the gutter CTV has sunk!
'Get on board?', with a 'new calendar'? How would they cover that extra 23+ hours in the year?
Without a leap year you you mean to tell me the climate and season would fallow the calendar a man made invention? WHAAAATTT
But if my birthday fell on a Monday, I don’t think I’d want it on a Monday forever...
What a bullshit headline.
Get rid of daylight savings first, then we’ll talk.

Hey! People were born on that day! Not everything needs to be changed in this world!
Why can’t you just leave it alone?!
It’s not a “Brainchild” if it’s not needed.
That’s just wrong... you can’t change history..you are not in time travel for heaven’s sake....🙃❤️❤️🇨🇦
Why would you trade such an easy and proven system for that convoluted mess?
This is nuts! My birthday is Leap Day. What happens with that? What about kids born during that extra week every 5-6 years? No birthdays for 5-6 years? And who wants to be the unlucky person whose birthday will ALWAYS fall on a Monday?
This article made me dumber and it does not surprise me that they think trump would sign it into law. It passes the trump test- it's dumber than a bag of rocks.
Writes the News Media that has never had the pleasure of celebrating every 4 years with Birthday Parties for Friends. Memorable when my '13' year old buddy was 'allowed' 😉 to sit at the 'big people's' table for his Bday 🙃

People are getting tired of the earths orbit around the sun?
This is stupid.
Imagine if you knew exactly how long you would live. Knew the exact day you would die. Everything could be wrapped up in a bow, t's crossed, i's dotted. That would be cool.
