13 months, 28 days per month = 364 days. New Year’s Day can be its own holiday separate from the rest of the year, and every fourth year it can be 2 days long.
The calendar has been intentionally mangled to obscure the solstices, equinoxes, etc. for the sake of religion. The shitty and arbitrary nature is a feature, not a bug. It’s emphasizes hegemonic control of our lives.
A similar thing is happening with time where solar noon, sunrises, and sunsets are obscured for the sake of capitalist work clocks.
The system doesn’t want our lives based on the natural world around us. It wants control.
They’re never going to “fix” this because it already works as designed.
Come up with a metric time system then. Also, fix the damn calendar.

Now we just need to get Big Calendar on board.

Jokes aside the French did come up with Decimal Time (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_time), but it didn’t catch on.
Never too late to catch on.
Oh yeah? How about

Ok, that’s on me, I knew that existed. I meant adopt a metric time system.
I think Swatch tried something like this in the 90s…

Why would you want to change the time system? The whole world agrees on the current system
