UPS Allegedly Helped Kids Get Cigarettes For Years
The United States Parcel Service (UPS) allegedly allowed untaxed cartons shipped from Indian reservations to reach the hands of children, according to reports.
UPS supposedly cost New York state millions of dollars by delivering cigarettes to private homes and unlicensed vendors, facilitating 78,500 illegal shipments of cigarettes from 2010 to 2014. The state is claiming $800 million in damages, Bloomberg reports.

Interesting.
I guess this is why we had a DIAD training module on tobacco shipments a while back. Something about not delivering them to residences.

Today, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced a new “quiet car” safety standard, which is designed to protect pedestrians—particularly those who are vision-impaired—from hybrid and electric cars.
The mandate will require new hybrid and electric vehicles under 10,000 pounds to come equipped with built-in “audible noise,” which will sound when the car is traveling under about 19 miles per hour.

They used to be here and were bought out or merged with someone else. Maybe Airborne. I haven't seen a Purolator truck in tears.

As many on here have suggested that the facts be checked out by reliable sources like Snopes , who approved Snopes ?

Checking Out the Fact Checkers at Snopes
DailyMail.com investigation reveals that Snopes.com’s founders, former husband and wife David and Barbara Mikkelson, are embroiled in a lengthy and bitter legal dispute in the wake of their divorce. …
The Mikkelsons may be well qualified to opine on things that are fake:
Profiles of the website disclose that for some time before it was set up, the couple had posed as ‘The San Fernardo Valley Folklore Society’, using its name on letterheads, even though it did not exist.
A profile for the Webby Awards published in October describes it as ‘an entity dreamed up to help make the inquiries seem more legit’.
David Mikkeleson told the Los Angeles Times in 1997: ‘When I sent letters out to companies, I found I got a much better response with an official-looking organization’s stationery.’
Barbara, 57, has accused her former husband, 56, of ‘raiding the corporate business Bardav bank account for his personal use and attorney fees’ without consulting her.
She also claimed he embezzled $98,000 from the company over the course of four years ‘which he expended upon himself and the prostitutes he hired’.
The former couple also bicker over David’s salary, which he wants raised to two or three times his current $240,000, although he says he will settle for $360,000 — which would be plenty, especially considering his extravagant expense charges.
So bitter was the dispute, that they even fell out over the arbiter they had appointed to settle disputes, meaning that Facebook’s arbiter cannot even agree on its own arbiter.
Snopes is supposed to be politically neutral, but has a reputation for bias against conservatives. David’s new bride Elyssa Young, who has worked as a prostitute and a porn actress and now works for Snopes, is unlikely to change this.
She ran for U.S. congress in Hawaii as a Libertarian in 2004, during which she handed out ‘Re-Defeat Bush’ cards and condoms stamped with the slogan ‘Don’t get screwed again’.
One of the lead fact-checkers, Kim LaCapria, has also been a sex-and-fetish blogger who went by the pseudonym ‘Vice Vixen.’
Ms. Vixen boasts that she spends her days playing scrabble, smoking pot, and posting to Snopes.
It makes you wonder what kind of fact-checking standards Snopes might employ.

Even with a new sheriff in town and the GOP as deputies, nothing really changes and this just serves as more proof it never will.
