I am having trouble getting the correct results using other recommended solutions.

When I run

the result is this:

> t
[1] "2016-08-22 09:25:39 UTC"

but when I change to local time, it doesn't change the result

t  %>% as.POSIXct(tz = "America/New_York")

produces this...

> t  %>% as.POSIXct(tz = "America/New_York")
[1] "2016-08-22 09:25:39 UTC"

What am I doing wrong? How do I get this to appropriately change the time?

`lubridate::with_tz(time = ymd_hms("2016-08-22 09:25:39 UTC"), tzone = "America/New_York")` – d.b Sep 21 '19 at 19:03
