This could be only a few years old; how could the designers be so
ignorant about a long-solved problem?
The DB should contain GMT; the display and input routines should
apply the offset.
And I'm irritated by quoted email timestamps that show some local time but
don't indicate the offset. Yours above is good; mine below is bad.
Wouldn't it be nice to have (HTML 5.1) markup such as:
<GMT>2018-11-07 17:12:47</GMT>
... and viewing software that rendered that correctly in local time?
