is february inherently unjust?

hear me out, here.

now, i should point out before i start that this doesn't affect me, personally, because my income is fixed, monthly. if anything, i do a little better in february. but, i remember doing the math on this years ago and being peeved by it.

so, consider somebody that is paid hourly and has a monthly rent to pay. that person is going to lose 2-3 days in february (7.5*15*3 = $337.50), and yet also have to pay about 6.66% extra rent for the month, due to it only being 28 days, which, at $700/month (what i'm paying...) would be $46.66.

so, that's about a $400 shortfall. and, you even lose money in the leap year.

what a rip-off...

i understand that our calendar is not arbitrary. but, do we really have to split the 365.2422 days up quite like this?

365 = 5*73.

that's a high prime number, isn't it?

364 = (2^2)*7*13 = 26*14

so, if we had 14 months of 26 days, and a special free day that is not in a month at all, we could even this out a bit better. on leap years, we could have two free days, instead.

who do i petition for this?
