'2022-02-22 19:22:22 UTC' is exactly that moment which was encoded into example 
UUIDs. It's not '2022-02-23 00:22:22 in UTC-05' as I thought.
I got confused by "at timezone" changes which in fact removes timezone 
information. And that's per SQL standard...

Now I'm completely lost in time... I've set local time to NY (UTC-5).

postgres=# select TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE '2022-02-22 14:22:22-05' - TIMESTAMP 
WITH TIME ZONE 'Tuesday, February 22, 2022 2:22:22.00 PM GMT-05:00';
 ?column? 
----------
 10:00:00
(1 row)

postgres=# select TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE 'Tuesday, February 22, 2022 
2:22:22.00 PM GMT-05:00';
      timestamptz       
------------------------
 2022-02-22 04:22:22-05
(1 row)

I cannot wrap my mind around it... Any pointers would be appreciated.
I'm certain that code extracted UTC time correctly, I just want a reliable test 
that verifies timestamp constant (+ I understand what is going on).
