“Washington is where good ideas go to die”
-Ronald Reagan
I use FedEx here at work for the bulk of my shipping. I really like their service - much better than UPS, who would damage many of the packages I sent out.
If FedEx goes bust, I’m going to be pissed.
Detest.
Unions.
Me.
Too!
and add to that the rats to enable them. the unions destroyed a business we had for many years - they're a bunch of crooks. literally.
I wouldn’t even refer to the Teamsters as an albatross around UPS’ neck. It’s an albatross around the workers’ necks. I worked there. This sounds like the Equalization of Opportunity Act in Atlas Shrugged.
What a surprise! A quick search shows Fred Smith’s $upporting republicans, with only a couple of dems here and there. In the very near future, in order to do business, work, obtain groceries, living space, cars, tvs, schooling medical care, etc, we will have to belong to Obama’s party AND be in good $tanding. Remember how it was in the USSR? Now it’s coming to us.
“If I recall, the president or head guy at FEDEX said he’d close the company before he’d allow a union in. I might be wrong. If I am, please correct my posting.”
Quite frankly I think the Dems would be fine with that outcome. More for the Teamsters at UPS and Federal Postal Workers.
The Obama administration single largest special interest is the unions. Unions are the storm troopers of socialism.
See dissident Michael Voslenski's, "Nomenklatura: The Soviet Ruling Class"
I operate a small trucking company. The slowdown in business causes me to go outside my usual customer base. There’s usually a load somewhere that needs to be hauled. But the rates have hit rock bottom. Usually you wait until that load hits urgency and the rates go up to a reasonable level.
Recently, YRC, the larger unionized firm, has started moving those loads. Also, they requested a $1B ‘bailout’. If you don’t care about making money due to government intervention, I guess it wouldn’t matter what the freight rate was as long as your drivers were doing something. I can’t afford to pay drivers that aren’t hauling something but apparently with government help, they can.
I’m feeling the squeeze.....
I guess that explains why my online order, shipped Priority Mail late in the day on June 4 from New Mexico, arrived on June 6 in New Hampshire.
Rush Limbaugh is talking about this article right now.
Yes he is. And Rush has just rementioned that Fred Smith said if Card Check goes into law, it will destroy his business.
Elections have consequences.
Action item for today: Contact all our vendors who’ve been using our UPS account and tell them to switch to FedEx.
The reason that our Congress will do nothing is they all have so much dirt and corruption baggage that they can no longer speak out for what is right.
Where are the Republicans?
Talk about gridlock. The only way to clean this mess up is get rid of all of them and start over, shorten their terms.
“I’m afraid, short of using the left’s techniques (criminal methodology), it is already too late to stop the affirmative action figure’s brand of democrat Marxism.”
It’s never too late.
Three stages to regaining our liberty:
Soap Box
Ballot Box
Ammo Box
Right now, we’re using the Soap Box (Tea Parties).
In 2010, and again in 2012 we’ll try using the Ballot Box, but if the demoncraps succeed in rigging the election, then it’s time to lock and load and use the Ammo Box.
Sadly, the way things are turning out, I predict that we’ll be in an all out civil war within the next 5 years.
Obama is doing his best to drive up the cost of doing business again I see....
Our society/nation has become too complex to overthrow a corrupt governemtn is the ballot box is under their control. And the majority of the sheeple are so dumbed down on bread and circuses that they will swallow any koolaid fed to them by the fifth column enemedia. I'm afraid the third option/stage is no longer a possible solution. The Constitutional Republic died not with a bang but a whimper, as the Roberts court put a final poison-tipped nail into the Constitutional contract, allowing the federal oligarchy to take full blossom with the affirmative action figure fraud-in-chief.
Amen to that. Incumbency is the root of all evils in Washinton.
good old Bass-turd Jimmy Bikeshorts (aka James Ubertard)...at it again.
we’re soooo proud here in MN(sarc)
