More’n twice what I make, but then I only work less than 190 days/year. You are an idiot... I am surprised you ever had gainful employment of any type.

Unless you're a minority or a legacy, you're not likely to get admitted to any Ivy League school. Ivy League schools fill the majority of their "white" slots with legacies, kids whose father/mother attended that school, so that they can show the World how open minded and inclusive they are. Being academically qualified is a major criteria for white kids, like having a top 5% class rank and 98th percentile ACT/SAT score, but not meeting those standards is a much less important criteria when considering a minority kid for admission.

Harvard and "Ivy League" schools are laughable the past 20 years. The entire aura of that nonsense is ludicrous in modern society. FACT

Yup and as those wages increase so will prices increase and inflation will persist. All these talking head woke liberals on TV and the regime thinking the Fed has tamed inflation are wrong. It will persist and interest rates are going to continue to increase.

UPS drivers aren't going to make $170k/yr.
Maybe the long timers but not the average worker.

What a Fuqking joke.
Every moron without a skill thinks they are owed a job that they can retire a millionaire on
From flipping burgers to driving a truck dropping off packages
This country is fuqked.
The people wringing their hands over Trump's rhetoric don't know what time it is in America.

Hourly wage x 2 in annual salary (plus a "K" obviously).
I pay guy $50/hr... they make $100k
I pay guys $150/hr... they make $300k.

This country is fuqked. Maybe they should own an "Authentic Italian Restaurant" and pass off brokedick Ramen noodles as fine cuisine instead?

If UPS is making so much that they can ship for cheap and still pay the drivers 170k a year good for them. 170k is a baller wage in most parts of this country. I doubt that it’s true. I can’t imagine that there making more money than a typical lawyer or family health Dr. Why do you consider $170k "So Much"? It comes out to only $85 an hour... that is a fair wage IMHO. I personally respect the hell out of skilled "Blue Collar" workers. It’s honest work. It’s well out of line for most other occupations. If UPS can compete with FedEx and USPS workers while paying that wage good on them but it doesn’t ring true to me.

That is kinda the whole point... It's like Trump... Chit GETS DONE... People are happy in it... and LIFE IS GOOD because of it/him!

From a priority overnight standpoint, UPS has always been the most expensive. 3x FedEx priority overnight from some locales. To maintain this overhead, they are going to have to jack their ground business rates or screw their overnight. I wouldn't be investing in UPS right now.

👍🏼 You are very wrong Tonto... I know EXACTLY how the economy works. Inflation is going to be a mudderfugger... and it is going to CRUSH a chit-ton of people. I have been tracking auctions this past 3 weeks (logging, mills, heavy equipment et al)... the number of companies that are going the way of Yellow is simply staggering. "Grab your britches cuz you haven’t seen the beginning of rising prices and inflation"... That Sir is a GD fact.

I love UPS and I think they’re a great company. Exactly... perfect efficiency and logistics. But the vans need to be made by Lexus to reach the next plateau... IMHO

Work hard and there’s enough jobs and money to go around that everyone willing to work benefits 👍
