Stupid arguments about the Ground business model

[It will be fine]

FiveThirtyEight’s averaging of polls indicates Ossoff has a lead of 1.8 percentage points, and Warnock has a lead of 2.2 percentage points..............tick tock ground scam

What legislation do you believe will pass that will eliminate the Ground business model?

We had more revenue under Trump while putting more money in people's pockets. We also had huge spending because Trump wanted more for the military and had to compromise with more spending Democrats wanted in order to get the votes because not enough Republicans supported it. And then of course we have had huge spending dealing with the virus. I'm all for reducing the deficit but don't kid yourself. Obama's growth was from businesses recovering from 2008 and rehiring. Obama printed so much money that our major debt holders, China, Japan, UK, and others were threatening to stop buying our bonds. The BRICS nations, Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa were threatening to create a basket of currencies to replace the Dollar as the world's reserve currency. Obama over regulated our businesses and much of it was to get high fees out of them. Obama wasn't pro business and a major view of his was why should business owners do well if workers aren't? Social justice. Please name the polices of his administration that were pro business and allowed them to flourish? Not talking about the stock market. With real estate knocked out it was the only major game available and it benefited greatly from employees 401k contributions. But what did Obama do other than throw a lot of money at the banking industry to keep it solvent?

If you factor for inflation, there was not much real revenue growth.

Inflation over a few years was negligible.

There is none, he's just a leftwing idiot, same as you.

The only difference is you have a little ass in the game, you won't go that far left when your ass is on the line.

I love it when lefty's eat their own.

You may want to look at the inflation rate in the US for the past six years:

2014: 1.6
2015: 0.1
2016: 1.3
2017: 2.1
2018: 2.4
2019: 1.8

Source: Historical Inflation Rates: 1914-2020

I think you will find this about the same percentage as the increase in revenue that you said the Trump cuts generated.

That's not high and wouldn't account for the difference between revenue under Obama and Trump.

Right is so together. Election is rigged...wait go out and vote. Let them starve..wait give them $2000.

Joe Biden has big plans to help protect gig workers — but will he be able to enact them? tick tock

Biden is adamant about changing the contractor scam. So Republicans can hand out a Trillion to corporations..but correcting the contractor scam and paying a living wage is just not feasible...Georgia on my mind..tick tock

The Ground contract has little if any similarity to gig work. Thanks for doubling down on your demonstration of having no idea what you’re talking about.

Guess u didn’t read the misclassification part of the article. Odd because it will end up costing u a fortune..oh well. From a FEDEX EMPLOYEE

The percentage difference between 2017 and 2019 increase in revenue is about 4%. We are bringing in a little less revenue since the tax cut when you factor inflation. When you factor inflation, the revenue based on 2017 number of 3.32 Trillion, with inflation that would be 3.39 Trillion in 2018 and 3.47 in 2019. There is basically no increase in revenue from the tax cuts.

I read it. It’s not applicable to what I do. It’s also terrible public policy that has no chance of passing through the Senate. Biden isn’t going to come in and shoot the economy in the leg with idiotic policy like this.

 

[Working4the1%]

So it’s on the Biden Harris policy page..and it has no chance. Check what DON wanted to do before elected..he checked off quite a few of his policies..time to pay the PAUPERS

It’s as if you enjoy making yourself look foolish. You believe Biden will enter office and eliminate independent contractors everywhere. That would destroy the entire transportation industry and the entire national economy.

No just the multi billion $$$ corporations that scam the working man and scam the tax man

Every driver that provides service for FedEx Ground is an employee and is treated and taxed as an employee. Do you even know what you’re complaining about?

Revenue grew SLOWER under Trump- much slower. If the economy was booking as you state because of tax 'cuts' (deferrals) revenue would have grown FASTER than it did under Obama's 'weak' economy. Twist yourself up a little more. First you say that the tax cuts caused an increase in reveneue, now you have switched to , "well, because of the tax 'cut' revenue didn't grow as fast. Make up your mind!!!!!!

It isn't the difference in revenue- it is the difference in the rate of revenue growth. Increasing population by three people in a group of ten is a growth rate of 30&, while increasing by 3 in a group of 100 is only 3% even though the the actual number is exactly the same.
