Obama: UPS and FedEx are doing fine, it's the USPS that sucks

[Aletheia]

Quote from Landis82:

Agreed.

While this is admittedly a "qualitative" observation based on their union-based drivers, UPS drivers are "coddled" compared to that of FDX.

UPS drivers are only allowed to make a certain amount of deliveries per day. Why do I know this, because a friend of mine is a worker's comp/safety manager at UPS. Meanwhile, FDX drivers scramble like rats to get their trucks totally unloaded and ALL parcels delivered by the end of the day.

In otherwords, UPS needs more drivers (and cost) to deliver the same amount of parcels compared to FDX.

Just pointing out some of the rather SIGNIFICANT differences between the two companies. It's not all "apples and apples" when comparing these 2 publicly traded companies.

I too have an insight to the inner workings of these two companies. The only simularities these two share is that they both deliver packages. The corporate culture of UPS and Fedex are exact opposites, yet they are both profitable companies. That being said, the halfrican comparing the USPS to those two companies as an example for why his health care plan is a good idea wasn't his best moment. Apples, oranges, and turds.

What does your claim about Obama's health care proposal bringing medical advancements to a screeching halt have to do with health care services provided by PRIMARY physicians.

Please be specific.

Are you implying odumbocare will stop at the primary level of health care?

Obama first slams public servants in the form of police officers. Now he slams public servants in the form of postal workers.

Obama is an elitist bastard.

Thanks for answering my question that I presented to you with yet another question... How convenient.
Goodbye.

Being you seem unable to clarify your implication that government healthcare would somehow not apply to levels beyond primary care, you are welcome.

But don't fret, your beloved messiah hasn't done very well trying to explain his socialist health agenda either. As such, it's certainly expected his disciples would not be able to follow along in any discussion of health care beyond blindly parrotting what they have been told to believe.

I'll accept your "goodbye" as you can't answer the question, so you'll simply run from the debate. How liberal of you!
