I’m so glad I don’t have to do all that stupid stuff y’all do at a stop, honking, yelling out, pulling in mirrors. I’m like a ninja if I don’t need a signature. Lol.
We are all the same. Only do the company garbage when they are looking.

Really what they want is for him to start running-gunning.

They can follow any truck in real time. Not sure what's going on out there?
BUT, they never know where you’re going next. They could see you as a dot on the screen and by the time they get there, you’re ten miles away. And usually you’re spotted coming down the road. Ahhh, country route life. :)

Not back in the "Time before cell phones" era they couldn't. Once you got out of site of your center you were on your own. You actually had to use your brains to get your route done. Back then you might not have had to use your body as much because the loads might have been smaller but we had to use our brains WAY more.

About all UPS could do was call your customers to leave a message for you.

Can anyone explain to me, like I’m a 5 year old, what the big hoopla is with GameStop?
Wall Street big wigs were planning to make a ton of money off of short selling their stock but a bunch of people on Reddit decided to get together and drive the stock price up and the plan spread, :censored2:ing over all the hedge fund guys. Eventually Robinhood and some other trade administrators decided to block purchases of GS stock and in the end, exposed the hypocrisy and rigging of their "free market" and now they're probably getting sued.

One of the few times I can say I'm proud of Reddit.

What does it mean to short sell a stock?

Is it legal for Robinhood to block the purchases to prevent a stock from rising? Is a trade administrator a company you have to go through to buy stocks?

Probably better off reading about it. It's one of those things I can visualize but don't really know how to explain.

I don't know the legalities on it but I hope they get crushed by the lawsuits.

Is a trade administrator a company you have to go through to buy stocks?
Yes. Like Scotttrade or E*Trade or one of those.

This article dumbed it down well for me. Lol.
