[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1339096, member: 24302"] So you won't pay your drivers more when they're out there busting it for you, but you'll gladly buy carbon credits from companies who didn't earn it? By the way, under cap-and-trade anyone can start a "company" and receive carbon credits from the gov't and sell them on the exchange. So this massive redistribution will put a huge anchor on the economy, pretty much crippling American business. Meanwhile places like China will continue to pollute at a far greater rate than we are. So will the planet be saved? No, and it was never about saving the planet. And as I was saying, any hope of employees getting decent raises will disappear as much of the profit will have to go to buying carbon credits to comply with the law. Can you imagine how much FedEx would have to shell out to comply? And in the end, there will be just as much pollution from FedEx because those vehicles have to be out there, those planes have to fly. It may even be a factor in developing Ground, because it'll be contractors buying credits instead of FedEx. At least they could be open and honest about the redistribution, without the slight of hand. This is obviously a plan concocted by those who have no business acumen. Why would you support it?
