[quote]Some would call that insider trading. I'm not sure how you would expect us to take the word of a person who is willing to break company policy in this manner. Also, unless the guy is some kind executive in a really high position in UPS with access to financial information that can indicate what you mentioned, I wouldn't take their word either, because I too worked for UPS before.[/quote] With suspicion I'm sure, but hey, I provided a basis for my words, instead of just making w

[quote]I find it rather pathetic and somewhat shameful that some people in this country thought it was OK (morally) to create Bushism merchandise and profit from it while ridiculing the leader of their nation in the process. It is said that the position of the POTUS is a position to be respected, the position of a man/woman who represents us in the world stage, who people from other countries judge based on the opinions of those he leads. For 8 years the Democrats made it not only their job b

[quote]Tell that to Obama, he was the one that brought it up. BTW, thanks for giving more proof of the facts. After so many years of service, the post office has yet to be efficient or even profitable, you gotta question why a Gov't with so much power, so much money has yet to correct this?[/quote] Just because you have the capibility or where-with-all, means you act rationally or logically.

[quote]Put them on the same playing field? UPS chooses to unionize & now 'someone' wants to force FedEx to accept unions. Level playing field, my ass.[/quote] FedEx is under different laws/rules as UPS is. There are FedEx employees who want to unionize, but are unable to because FedEx won't allow them to under the threat of loss of job. There's a lot of other crap that FedEx pulls. (This is coming from people who work for FedEx, so I'm not just pulling it out of my ass)<

[quote]Then do me a favor, look up the H-bomb tests of the 50's and 60's. The biggest bombs and destruction man can toss around. Where it was used live came back within a few growing seasons, the fish are still around the Bikini islands, those test areas are still too dangerous for man but everything else is back to normal. We destroyed nothing of import other than one more place man can not live. Chernobyl is back to normal as far as plant and animal life other than it is unsafe for humans.

[quote]unnamed sources, sounds like something Obama would use. Hey Daiwa, looks like the Biden effect is kicking in.[/quote] The only reason that I stated "unnamed source," is because the person works at one of the UPS places and they have a policy about their workers talking about anything regarding the company. Sort of like a gag order. [quote]If you agree with Daiwa, then Obama himself admits that Gov't run programs do not work as well as private ones. If you disagree then

[quote]"UPS and FedEx are doing just fine. ... It's the Post Office that's always having problems."[/quote] Now that's funny. Oddly enough, from what I've heard from unnamed sources, UPS is doing fairly well though they've had to adjust their belt so to speak. It's FedEx that is losing it; I heard from that same source that FedEx is trying to stop legislation that would put them on the same playing field as UPS because they've had to change pants.
