Yes they do. They take you child at X:00, when the clock says X:00, they do not care if Earth is at 90 degrees rotation or 105 degrees rotation.

> Time on a clock is just a concept we all agree on. If we all agree “_now_ it’s 9am and we shall not change clocks from this point on”, then that’s that, _now_ is “9am”, there’s no “off by an hour”.

I guess we are arguing about whether we can all agree on what now should be.
