Yum, corporate welfare in a southern-ish red state....

"...three-quarters of all state economic development subsidies went to just 965 corporations since the beginning of the study in 1976. The Fortune 500 corporations alone accounted for more than 16,000 subsidy awards, worth $63 billion – mostly in the form of tax breaks.

Think about that. The largest, wealthiest, most powerful organizations in the world are on the public dole. Where is the outrage?"

Finland, a socialist state, has no corporate tax. They understand how wealth is generated, and it has nothing to do with simple confiscation.

Turning FedEx into a "trucking company with jets" is the ONLY was to compete with UPS, which already is.

Pilots here are in for a rude awakening as Fred diverts more and more volume to trucking. We will be hiring only for attrition shortly.

You a funny guy!!

According to my currier they can't keep up with the express freight right now and these are the slow months!
