[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 783837, member: 12508"] You (bbsam) say you're a Democrat, but you write like a Tea Party Libertarian and seem to have a similar value system when it comes to so-called "free market" capitalism. As longs as you get yours, everything is just dandy. My point is that "The Borg" (Express) runs Ground, and does it in a way that exploits employees (yes, I did say employees) by pretending that they aren't employees. Fred skims most of the cream off the top by having a low-wage/no benefits workforce, and then lets you have a little bit for yourself for playing along. It's totally ironic (and wrong) to have drivers who qualify for food stamps working for a multi-billion dollar company that says it's a "people" organization. Right... This is the scam of Ground, which is to have underpaid workers produce far more than their pay would indicate, and then let the government subsidize their existence. How is someone getting paid $12 per hour, or even worse, flat-rated at a salary that doesn't allow for overtime, going to participate in our great capitalist democracy? They are going to be the ones sitting in the local ER at 3am trying to get care for their sick kid because there are no insurance benefits at their job, and they don't make enough to afford insurance. Hey bbsam, maybe you should make the switch from coffee to Lipton. [/QUOTE]
