The Hank Henry Permanent Calendar proposes a new calendar system where each year consists of four quarters with 30 days in the first two months and 31 days in the third month, totaling to 364 days. This system eliminates the need for leap days, ensuring that every year perfectly repeats itself. The calendar promises regularity and consistency, with holidays falling on the same day every year, leading to significant cost savings by intentionally placing holidays on weekends. This change could save the US government approximately $150 billion by placing federal holidays on weekends. While the calendar may lack spontaneity by fixing holidays to specific days, it offers a predictable and organized system that simplifies planning for individuals and businesses alike.
