ho boy, before I break out "falsehoods programmers believe about time,"[0] nobody wants to manually have to rewrite the UTC time something's supposed to run at when the business hours keep changing relative to UTC for (at the most basic) Daylight Savings reasons.

You don't have to do that "manually". Postgres supports the conversion using the `at time zone` operator.
This extension uses cron syntax and only supports GMT.
