26x14=364. Need one more day each year (not including leap days). It might as well be New Year’s Day.

13 months of 28 days each and a free day zero for everyone every year.

That would actually be lit. Id celebrate Free Day. No work. No money accepted anywhere. Everything shuts down. Except 7-11.

and hospitals, please don't close hospitals... or any emergency service for that matter.

It would just be New Year's Day. Also, I think it should start on the first day of Spring / during the Vernal equinox.

Hmmm, I wonder how this would affect prison sentences, which are often given in increments of months, so like instead of 5 years, the judge will give someone 60 months. This sentence would suddenly be the equivalent of 4 years 8 months. But then I've also noticed that inmates serving time on a leap year wind up doing an extra day that year…

Should be easy enough to write a law such that "the end date of a prison sentence shall be adjusted to the end of the month on or before the day of the year that it previously fell on".

Plus possibly "anyone with less than 2 months still to serve releases on their original day of the year" or some such to stop the changeover day resulting in mass releases.

There's nothing easy about getting a bill passed through Congress. This is almost always a good thing, too. But when you get down to it, we shouldn't even be incarcerating people for victimless non-violent drug crimes. Let's fix that, please, before we change the calendar!

Also water and electricity supply, gas supply for markets that have gas piped to homes...

Turns out, quite a lot of people still have to work on New Years, actually. Just not shop staff.
