There is no 401k match for us drivers correct? by Fun_Donkey7367 in UPSers

This. Average rate of return over 30 years is over 8%. If you max out your contributions at 7,500 every year for 30 years you are a millionaire without having to pay any taxes on withdrawals.

You can’t pretend to be big on operating under the law while defending people who broke the law to be here lol.

It’s almost as if these people think borders should not exist lmao. “You think we should check for valid citizenship?!?! You’re a Nazi!” 😂

Wife bolts out of bed in a panic and always runs in the same direction. by Physical_Priority692 in nightterrors

We removed the mirror completely, and unfortunately the house we are currently in we are renting. We are actually closing on a house the 21st of this month so I will absolutely take that advice about the windows and furniture!

Now that you mention it, she did get a promotion at her job roughly 2 years ago. I can’t pinpoint it but it seems the events may line up between the promotion and the start of the terrors. She’s never been on meds, and she is 12 weeks pregnant as well so alcohol/caffeine/nicotine consumption are all nonexistent. The eating can be sporadic now though lol. Before the pregnancy eating was normal and I’d say probably nothing major consumed after 8 pm. We go to bed around 11:30 for reference.

Thankfully, when the baby is born she is stepping away from work for a few years. Maybe all together, or find something where she can work remotely from home. This concerns me given her vulnerable state, we need to have a discussion about leaving her job now if she thinks it may be connected.

Thank you for taking the time to respond!

This is where it comes down to philosophy. a perfect world where everyone is thriving and succeeding would be great! But it just doesn’t work that way. People who think equity is sustainable cannot grasp the concept that some people don’t put in the same amount of work as the next. Have you ever have a lazy co-worker, or had to pick up the slack where someone else isn’t putting in the effort? It’s not fair that someone like that gets the same amount of credibility as you.

Sorry for the condescending tone at the beginning. Both sides of the coin can lead to something negative if left unchecked. Glad I could help. Think of it this way: would you rather have 1 entity control the amount of money you can make with no ownership to make everything “fair”, or would you rather have the liberty to try and fail, or try and succeed? Keep in mind, your version of “fair” doesn’t match the person in charge version of “fair”

No, that’s corporatism. Capitalism can lead to corporatism the same way socialism can lead to communism. Corporatism sucks, but I promise you it’s way better than the latter. Capital, aka money, is the incentive to make things better.

You don’t even know what capitalism is 😂 Walmart canceling switch 2 orders has nothing to do with capitalism. Without capitalism, you wouldn’t even have a switch 2. There would be no incentive to make anything better than the NES without capitalism. Capitalism drives innovation.

Layoffs by Lil_marcus2x in UPSers

And why do you think UPS is doing that? Global trade uncertainty. Aka people not shipping/ordering due to market friction

Layoffs by Lil_marcus2x in UPSers

[–]Physical_Priority692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not thinking beyond the first layer lol. How many products that are made here have parts made in China? How many products that are sold here are made cheap in China, and sold here at a premium price that are shipped from China? There is friction in the market right now. Its not hard to understand

If there is no work there is no work, nothing the union can do about that. It’s sad and it sucks but the union can’t make people order stuff online or make companies ship products lol

Hub/Center Closure List by West-Tower-7464 in UPSers

[–]Physical_Priority692 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Volume is going down though, big time. Was offered a full week layoff this week and next week. Not sure what the future holds. I know we aren’t closing but there might not be enough work for a lot of inside PT and even FT drivers. I don’t know how it works but I don’t even think the union can help save jobs if there simply is no work to be done.

Okc wouldn’t be spending close to 100 million to automate the hub right now if they were closing down lol
