I stand corrected. Does not detract from the point though that most of what the military uses is contracted out to defense manufacturers.
FedEx Ground
- Thread starter AB831
- Start date
Now prove that Fedex Ground has drivers. Even one.
Atomic Cannon, Rock Island, IllinoisThere’s one helluva gun!
I don't have to. FedEx Ground pays contractors to employ drivers. It's still a false analogy to compare Ground to military contractors. FedEx could expand Express to do all of the deliveries and end it's relationship with Ground contractors. The U.S. military isn't going to have it's soldiers, marines, sailors do all the manufacturing necessary to supply them with ships, planes, tanks, guns, uniforms, the list is endless. They have a mission that their contractors support. FedEx doesn't need contractors to support their mission in the same way the military does. False analogy.
Or Fedex could do away with Express entirely.
It will be fine

The military could just as easily expand their manufacturing capacity. Fedex Express is a different company, claiming their fleet is a stretch. Your argument is extremely weak and not supported by facts, about what I expect from you.

Hmmm.
If I start a company and hire a dozen guys and we do payroll, A/R, and A/P work for other companies in the area, do I own a business?
If the city and county governments like our work and give me exclusive contracts to do that some work for them, and I drop my other clients in order to do so, do I own a business?

It's safe to say that both organizations buy much of the stuff they need to do what they do from third parties. How you come to the conclusion that such an obvious similarity should be seen as an obvious difference is a mystery.

Great idea , then Ground can do the FO's and P1. Then go back and do their ground stuff.
I don't see many people agreeing with you here. It's like saying "I built my own truck" When it turns out that it was just a glider kit. They send you the parts and you put it together yourself.
When Dan Sullivan and the guy from UPS who's name I forget who as I understand it went back to work for UPS locked themselves in that hotel room at the Pittsburgh airport in 1985 to create Roadway Package System these were the guys actually built the business because it was their creative endeavor , their project their business model and if what I was told is true it was backed with 300 million dollars of Teamster pension money.
And since you claim to have built the business and was no doubt present and materially participated in the project perhaps you could tell us if that story regarding the financial backing is true or not.

Wow!
Who's software and accounting system are you using? Did you develop and copyright your software or are you simply using someone else's that you bought?

You mean you can't answer either question without knowing what kind of software is being used?

You've dug yourself into such a hole with a dumb premise that you're almost at the point that you would argue that you didn't build your own business unless you physically built the building yourself. And if you built it yourself, it doesn't count unless you made all of the tools yourself - from scratch. And if you did that, it doesn't count unless you went out and cut down all the trees for the lumber yourself, and that doesn't count unless you actually planted the trees yourself, and THAT doesn't count unless you created the soil in which those trees grew.
And on and on and on.
All because someone succeeded at something that you never could.
