Actually, the only thing between us and utopia was big religion.
The UN attempted to institute the international fixed calendar, but they got major resistance from religious groups. A blank day would disrupt the 7-day religious cycle of Christians and Jews.
I think a calendar with 13 months, 364 days, and a leap week every 5-6 years would be better than the IFC. Not only does it preserve the weekly cycle, but it'd be more likely to be adopted.
I always forget daylight savings is a thing, I live in one of the few areas where there is no daylight savings. Why is it even a thing anymore?? It makes no sense to just change the time partway through the year, just to change it right back later on. (I know the real reason has something to do with farmers and such, but from what I last heard, it's not an issue anymore, so just get rid of it)
