I suspect he thought he was just going to be discussing weed.

It's a shit AMA. He put no thought or effort into his crappy 3 word answers. If he's here to plug 31, it backfired for me, now I just see him as someone without any thoughts or depth. He's not a real person, just some dude who dresses funny trying to sell us a product like a pop star. People with legitimate questions were ignored, or worse responded to with crap flippant answers. I'm going to go eat two hotdogs in honor of what a waste of time this was. The time would have been better spent on /r/funny Shit guys, the government is in our food!!!11111oneone

Being replaceable in an instant is a lesson taught to every community college undergrad anyways. Also "associates degree are worthless" -Associate Dean of Science from my university.

There are a lot of different "FedEx" companies, and a lot of different facility types. I worked at a FedEx Express ramp, basically a smaller version of a hub, no automation.

We were airline employees with security clearance. It was fine. Our boss would cater training sessions. We interacted directly with trucks and planes, so it was largely outdoors. We had fans at each station, water and gatorade coolers, and a breeze from the doors. There were about 20-30 giant bay doors on each side of the facility and they were usually left open.

In the winter they shut the doors, turned on the heaters, and we had fedex parkas and snow bibs.

It was night work for 4 hours shifts (the time between last call from stations, and that the planes had to be sent the memphis. If you were full time there was a lot of waiting around and breaks were madatory. We could walk away from our task and use the bathroom and get a drink whenever we wanted.

We started the evening out in the breakroom, got to clock in 10 minutes early, did stretch exercises, then went and picked an area to work at.

Our job was unloading trucks, loading aircraft containers, and then putting those into aircraft. And everyone helped out with every job, even managers and teamleaders.

TLDR: FedEx Express is okay to work for, especially at an airport.

That doesn't sound very well thought out. It sounds very simplistic, I know you're angry, but have you ever considered learning about the stuff you want to change and making a written out plan on what exactly in the the law you would like to alter? I feel like if I was running for office, I might have read the laws related to my platform, and wrote done some basic things about how I would like the laws changed.

Also, if you are against corporations being treated as people, does that mean you would like the public to be unable to litigate against them?

That's kind of the main reason they are treated as people, so the public can sue them as equals. If they aren't lowered down to person status, they become more powerful. They become a collect of potentially tens of thousands of people. Ford, for example, is a collect of 180,000 people. Would you like the public to have to name the 180,000 employees of a company in a lawsuit? The employees might have some overwhelming proof that each individual just did their job, and did nothing wrong in the case. The corporation couldn't have possibly set policies in the case that led to the "wronging" because it's not even a person.
