FedEx does not have congress "helping them" by stopping them from shutting down unprofitable offices and routes as well as requiring they fully Front fund their retirementTens of thousands of babies in the 1950s-'60s were born with deformities like this from Thalidomide:

Happened all over the world in over 40 countries. Didn't happen in the U.S.
Why not? Because the FDA put up a stop sign. And they were right.
This is Frances Kelsey of the FDA who put up that stop sign receiving the President's Award for Distinguished Citizen Service for doing that. She just turned 100 years old this summer.
I'm not sure what that has to do with "the economy" but there ya go.![]()
Additionally?
The safety record of American Airliners are remarkable. That's not because the captains of industry wish Americans to safely travel by air. That's because the Government has rigorous regulations in regards to air travel.
another dem/lib that does not know what "efficient" means. Yes, american airlines are pretty safe compared to those of maylaysia and kenya. But is the FAA efficient in its regulation of airlines? Is TSA an efficiently run agency? How about the border patrol? are we getting efficient effective border security from that govt agency?
Hey, you asked for an example, you got two --- now you want to "yeah but" cherrypick?
Poster please.![]()
those are not examples of efficient operations. Success can be achieved in an inefficient operation. Our military is very effective, but I don't think anyone on earth would call DOD efficient. the USPS does a pretty good job delivering the mail, but it loses money every quarter----------efficient????
Again, you show you don't have any idea what you are talking about.
"Waste" isn't necessarily inefficient. Sometimes you have to bake in "waste" into your provisioning model. Why? Because in most cases, what you are doing is not stagnant or rote. Your work or business requires you to do things are fluid and always changing. And many times you have to make the best guess about what your resources should be. It's always "efficient" to have more than you need as opposed to not enough.
Because if you have "not enough"? You've failed.
Right. The Post Office is in a business that is "fluid" and "always changing."
Who are you trying to kid?
The post office is much more effective and efficient then either FEDEX or UPS.
The reason it's "losing" money is because conservatives in Congress are trying to kill it:
1. Through funding pensions in a manner no other business or public agency has to do.
2. Having no control over how to price services, so they are kept unusually low.
Sheesh..that was easy.
USPS more efficient than Fedex and UPS----------------------that is one of the all time stupid posts to ever appear on USMB.
Eyeah.
I am sure you use both all the time to mail stuff.
operating and operating efficiently are two very different things. Fedex and UPS do not lose money every quarter, USPS does.
