Lunch in the USA is typically
between 12:00pm – 1:00pm.
Of course, there are exceptions. Some schools schedule lunch starting
anywhere from 10:00am – 1:00pm. If possible, office-goers leave their
offices by 11:30am or 11:45am to avoid long lines (sic. queues) at
12:00pm. Some people may have lunch after 1:00pm, but, that is rare.
Rarer still is to see people have lunch after 1:30pm. Generally, those
who have not eaten lunch by 1:30pm will skip lunch.
Musk and Tesla/SpaceX/The Boring Co., etc. Completely chaotic
'management'. Tesla will never suceed with constantly moving
goalposts that score own goals. You cannot successfully run a company
by Tweet, in the same way you cannot
successfully run a country by Tweet! You can panic and chase your own
tail, with endless changes, Mr. Musk, but you won't stop those that
know how to make cars
from beating the hell out of you....... That's what 100 years of
experience teaches you.

No, BBC, this comment is a disgrace:
"Meanwhile, Tom Enders is due to leave his job in April. So perhaps
he's in a very good position to talk tough, without worrying whom he's
upsetting in the process." Theo Leggett, BBC business correspondent. You assume somebody retiring will always do the wrong thing? Disgusting.

DUMB,
dah, dumb, dumb, dumb! The most idiotic person to ever be selected as
Prime Minister. Friend of Brannon and Trump. Born in New York with a
Silver Spoon (same as Trump). Fortunately, he won't last long in the
job.

renewal due (over-ridden by Trump prior to this date)
Last
year, Trump directed the Commerce Department to investigate whether
automotive imports pose a threat to national security, with a report
due no later than 2019-02-17. If the report finds cause for
concern (as everybody expects), it would give him the authority to
impose tariffs within 90 days. He has already proposed a 25% tariff
on imported autos.
