[QUOTE="av8torntn, post: 692642, member: 8259"] Of course they do and this is where I tend to get a little rude so I'll hope someone else jumps in with a little more business experience to explain it to you a little better than I can. We can start with the basics. Say you wanted to take an original signed document from NY to LA by 830 am. You charter a fast aircraft, hire a pilot, pay landing and takeoff fees, cover other government fees, account for your time to make this happen at say a conservative cost 8 grand. UPS through economies of scale and scope and cost savings with efficiency offer the same service for just a guess about a hundred bucks. That is an example of actual cost savings passed on to the consumer. You can apply this in a different way. Remember the recent efficiency push at UPS to reduce transit times in certain trucking lanes. This savings in time was passed to the consumer directly by way of faster delivery times. You can look at other times in UPS history with fuel surcharges that were dropped after fuel prices dropped. You can look at the added value of the tracking system to the UPS consumer. Klein Life expectancy is not a very good indicator of the quality of health care. It does not account for simple things like suicide, genetic traits, local dietary habits, death by auto accident, and on and on and on... [/QUOTE]
