Using a month as a unit of 1/12 of a 365 day year, a month on average is 30.4167 days. Divide that by a 7 day week and you get 4.345 weeks/month. I rounded to 4.5 for the purposes of quickness and simplicity. Besides, using 4.5 as the number of weeks in a month made it 80,000/week. I prefer round numbers, since monthly length changes month to month, even though the changes are completely known and understood.



People are difficult to govern because they have too much knowledge.

When there are more laws, there are more criminals.
