Also the excessive variability of being paid monthly but having only 4 weeks of expenses vs 5 the next would be a challenge.

I assume if the entire world is spending billions of dollars reworking culture, infrastructure, software, etc., that swapping to making weekly pay the norm is just a bit of noise in that transition.
I wonder what the gamification effect would be if we paid everything by the second. I think for example transitioning from social support to employment would be more attractive.

Switching everything to any other system all at once would indeed be a huge waste of money.

That doesn't work for people who are on commission.
