In Sweden another solution was presented on the evening news yesterday.
There is a proposition from the goverment to change our calendar from
Gregorion to Julian (the one used in Russia in 1917), which would buy
two weeks of time. An executive of the swedish equivalent of the IRS was
very positive, and a couple of party-leaders were interviewed, stating
that it seems like a good idea and they support it, one of them also
stating that the possibility of using alternative calendars that give
even more leeway should be explored.
