All I am saying is, if we change the earth's rotation and period of revolution, we can fix it all on something sane for once.
May as well correct that eccentricity while we're fiddling about.
We slow the rotation, give us twenty-five hours in a day. We could all use a little extra. Then we go for four hundred days per year, with the extra near-thirty-five days as a kind of bonus. This gives us a nice hundred thousand hours per year. We just tighten up the second a tad, so we have a hundred thousand of those per day.
