I just found out yesterday they're privatizing libraries in some parts of the USA. sometimes in response to public libraries displaying/carrying books about not being straight. private public libraries, incredible concept.

I have kind of wondered what the point of all the book banning and poo poo is. People complaining don't read. Kids don't read. Why do they seem to care so much?

But if it's a wedge to close libraries or sell them off, I guess that has a logic to it.

He's willfully incompetent, he knows what he's doing

I’ve seen how XPO functions internally, it’s a horror show and basically they hide any liability for their tremendous gently caress ups behind statutory liability limits and Bill of Lading terms that protect sub contracted carriers under statutory liability limits.

Here’s what I mean COGSA protects ocean carriers importing/exporting to the US. There is a per package limit for claims, $150 per package. generally package is interpreted as the whole container. so the ocean carriers liability is limited by law to $150 regardless of the gently caress up. They extend this to stevedores and sub contracting carriers via the specifics and terms of the Bill of Lading. That’s the hole XPO mostly hides in.

Now DeJoy has nothing to do with that hole, but how he shaped XPO has everything to do with all their fuckups.

He doesn’t know what he’s doing, but yeah it is willful. i think he truly thinks that’s the best way to run a logistics company and thus the postal system. but I would never grant the man any acknowledgment of competence, I have nothing but contempt for him.

you will still have to get the car at a dealership, also your car will now have alexa

quote:

The companies said the arrangement will allow customers to purchase a new car online and then either pick it up or have it delivered by their local dealership at a time that works best for them.

Prospective buyers will be able to search on Amazon’s website for available vehicles in their area by model, color, and features, and then complete the process using their chosen payment and financing options.
As part of the companies’ partnership, Hyundai will include Amazon’s Alexa technology in the brand’s cars beginning in 2025, the companies said.

yeah exactly a BBA . and it’s not like he wasn’t loving over USPS before this. his first company was a no bid postal subcontractor, my understanding is they did logistics between postal sorting locations. he has a quarter century of loving with USPS before he’s even at XPO loving their poo poo up.

he’s all the worst of the American simplification of bastardizing of JIT as a person.

they don’t know that retail prices are not connected to production costs in any way. love that phd economists missed the biggest change to the economy that we are easily decades into.

it used to be that a lot of goods really did have sales price determined by production costs. how did these dummies miss the change pushed by other economists they directly interact with?

but if production costs go down, the final price will also go down so they can undercut the competition, it says it all here in my economics textbook (which is a hard science)
