date command timezone not reflecting correct date/time from timedatectl

cn flag
syntax

I am in the MDT timezone (UTC -600). When I run the date command it shows the UTC time but shows MDT as the timezone, so the timezone looks correct but the time is actually 6 hours ahead of what it should be. I have copied the correct timezone to /etc/localtime and have updated the correct timezone in /etc/timezone

I am trying to figure out why the timezone (MDT) but the time is reflecting the UTC time.

I am running Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS.

Here is the information from my system:

date command output:

Mon Sep 13 17:52:06 MDT 2021

ls -lh /etc/localtime output:`

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Sep 13 17:40 /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Boise

timedatectl output:

           Local time: Mon 2021-09-13 11:53:49 MDT
           Universal time: Mon 2021-09-13 17:53:49 UTC
                 RTC time: Mon 2021-09-13 17:53:49
                Time zone: America/Boise (MDT, -0600)
System clock synchronized: yes
              NTP service: active
          RTC in local TZ: no

/etc/timezone contents:

America/Boise

I have tried running chronyd -Q to sync the time, etc but I am still showing UTC time with a MDT timezone.

If anyone has any ideas how I can get this to reflect the accurate time and timezone I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks for taking the time to look.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
