`TIMESTAMPTZ` / `TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE` exists?

I don’t know who was the genius who invented that but timestamp *with time zone* doesn’t store the time zone.

Timestamp with time zone actually means gmt time created from a time zone which is then discarded because fuck you that’s why.

They dont store original timezone
