[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 864400, member: 14176"] Yes I can elaborate. I believe that this system is unsustainable. As the USPS continues to operate at annual losses in the billions, how long will it be before they, or the American public, realize they are being exploited? When will the USPS tell UPS and FedEx, we can't do it at this price anymore? When this happens who will be in the best position to pick up the pieces? I insist we will, but only if we embrace these packages in the densely populated urban areas. In doing so we build our infrastructure, positioning ourselves in the ever expanding internet/television driven home delivery market. The house that gets 2 or 3 packages a week will likely get 3 or 4 a day in the not to distant future. We have always valued customers that receive multiple packages per delivery for the reason that the 2nd, 3rd, and subsequent packages become much more profitable. How would this differ in the urban settings I have outlined? I say let's help FedEx and the USPS build this market, while positioning ourselves in urban settings, for when the house of cards come tumbling down. UPS has allowed itself to be pulled into the trap that so many other stock market driven companies have. It is no longer good enough to be good and maintain, we now have to improve quarterly, or the stock suffers. It's this instant gratification mentality that blinds us from long term vision. Let's stop courting the day traders and embrace the investors like Warren Buffet that are content to have a stable company, that returns a solid dividend, with vision for the long term. Union koolaid? I challenge you to find me quoting one union doctrine or even the word Teamster in any of my posts on this subject. You used terms such as quarterly reports and earnings statements, hence the brown koolaid crack. All of my thoughts and opinions on this subject are based on real life observations experiences, are yours? [/QUOTE]
