Landlords salivating at the prospect of an entirely new way to increase rent almost 10% for every tenant

As long as I get an extra payday without a decrease in payment, I’m good. I doubt that would be the case though.

Number of hours worked remains the same. TPTB would never allow this to improve the lives of ordinary folk. I say we cut a month out of the year. Who likes August, anyway?

If anything an extra month just means more time for holiday pay, more time for accountants, and more time to waste in general

But think of the possibilities. If you were born on the 31st, you'd stop aging.

Watch out for places (like gyms) that bill biweekly instead of monthly. You may think it lines up with months, but over the course of a year you pay an additional 8.6% more.

But, if you get paid biweekly and all of your bills are monthly, you basically get an extra paycheck each year.

Two extra I believe. And every few years three. BTW advertisers know this and try to sell big ticket items like TVs when that happens.
