Why abolishing Time zones is just stupid

Today we learned that we are going to have a debate Friday, and I am set on winning. I have written down arguments and defenses. Some of the people in the middle did research and are already on our side. Getting rid of time zones is just dumb and would do no good for the world. I hope no one looks in my blog for this information but here is some of the research I found that will be a great asset in helping us win.
The people trying to abolish time zones use these as an argument:
  1. Replace with a system aptly named the Hanke-Henry Date and Time
  • The calendar would be identical every year, except for a one week-long 'mini-month' at the end of December every five or six years
  1. Would be easier for businesses and transportation
  • This would be a bad idea because at noon here it would be sunny, but noon in China would be completely dark and they would be sleeping (would make no difference abolishing time zones and make it more confusing) ex. “What time is it?” “It’s 14 o'clock” “So is it morning or night?” “I don't know but if we had time zones it would be easier and keep everything more organized)
  • Every business in the world is already accustomed to timezones, if we abolished these, then every business in the world would be confused, world-wide communications would be disturbed (ex. “Lets have a meeting at 11:00; sorry we are sleeping here”
  • All agriculture businesses would be doomed. Farmers and distributors would be confused about when to plant their crops, and changing the time will be hard (ex. “When should i plant my crops?” “6:00 in the morning” “But it is not sunny so they can’t grow”)
