This sabotage is why I keep saying that third parties need to be realistic and stop focusing on the Presidency, instead focus on the jobs that make the laws, the ones that can remove the barriers for third parties while demonstrating why they’re the better party.

Prolly Lower Decks, though I don’t watch it, I’d be rather surprised if’n they don’t have the worst technobabble when it’d be funny

FedEx is so very complicated, FXG isn’t union, Federal Express is, IIRC something to do with them being under FAA authority. Not sure about FedEx Freight, FedEx LTL or FedEx Expediting. And that’s just part of the mess of the company. As to the name thing, that was started by RPS, FXG’s predecessor, and was a single contractor buying a route from RPS, with RPS supplying vans and uniforms much the way Amazon does with their companies, but it’s entirely possible that some of those drivers bought multiple routes and formed up their own little company, or that FXG followed in Amazon’s footsteps and switched to contracting with companies rather than individuals.

Amazon upped it here by hiring courier companies, even helping to found them, with really bad contract deals, rather than hiring individual contractors like companies had before this.

Amazon is particularly good at thinking up ways to avoid responsibility, they own no vans, employ no drivers, have no planes nor employ any pilots, and they don’t own any tractors and don’t employ any truck drivers.

Did they change? I worked for them as a sorter before they were FedEx Ground, and at that time it was similar, each driver was a contractor with FXG, but after the lawsuit (dunno what happened with that), and seeing how successful the scam was for Amazon, I wouldn’t be surprised if’n they changed.

Ah, thanks, wasn’t sure as they seem to pretty much rule the market

Go ahead, this’ll be fun. Let’s see, to travel out of your country, you’ll need a passport, and for that to be accepted, you’ll need a treaty in place Sure, you’ve got oil, but you basically need to be part of OPEC to sell it, and they decide price and volume. To ship anything you produce, you need treaties in place

Yep, let’s see how this goes.

And here I thought you said you were going to see a Muenster movie last night

I just think it’s fair that they pay for their crime, although I would have no problems considering payment plans as paid from day one,. Where things get complicated in Florida, is that even if you pay for your crime, you don’t get your right to vote back if’n you owe anything to the state, even if it’s unrelated. Oh, and it’s your problem to find it. Did I mention that it’s a crime to claim you’ve settled everything if’n you have, even if you don’t know about the debt? Yeah, now that’s a lot of BS Throw in the fact that prisoners count in the census despite not being able to vote while incarcerated, and often not after. If they count they should be allowed to vote.

I’d say if’n they haven’t fully repaid their debt to society, ie fines, etc, but they should be able to do that without Florida’s type of BS. That and the double standard needs to go.

You’re welcome. I do recommend looking up Sunset’s Isekai, it crosses over with a lot of things, it’s Stargate crossover being one of my favorites, it ends with the SG1 team using an Equestrian portal to escape back to Equestria, which turns them into ponies. O’Neill winds up being a pegasus, and when told they’ll be changed back to human before they take the Stargate back to Earth, he looks at his wings, and asks the Princesses one question… ‘Do these things work?’ Some how I can easily see him doing that.

That said, there’s been a fair number of MLP stories that I’ve discovered because of it.

As to the MLP lore, they do good with it, but there are some surprises, but you might’ve guessed one of them already, which explains the rest.

Yeah, I can believe that, it’s as rife for corruption and the other problems as any other system. Honestly I don’t know if there is a way to do fair voting maps, at least one that can’t get hijacked by zealots.

Dunno, but I wouldn’t be surprised.
