Just a sometimes grey muzzle poking at this net thing

How do I pull those up? Yep, I’m one of those, used the GUI as I don’t know how to do it from the terminal, plus I’m immensely forgetful

Me too, and it sorta has Wayland support, but it’s not real good. I also like Cosmic, I think it has a good future ahead of it.

This sabotage is why I keep saying that third parties need to be realistic and stop focusing on the Presidency, instead focus on the jobs that make the laws, the ones that can remove the barriers for third parties while demonstrating why they’re the better party.

Prolly Lower Decks, though I don’t watch it, I’d be rather surprised if’n they don’t have the worst technobabble when it’d be funny

FedEx is so very complicated, FXG isn’t union, Federal Express is, IIRC something to do with them being under FAA authority. Not sure about FedEx Freight, FedEx LTL or FedEx Expediting. And that’s just part of the mess of the company. As to the name thing, that was started by RPS, FXG’s predecessor, and was a single contractor buying a route from RPS, with RPS supplying vans and uniforms much the way Amazon does with their companies, but it’s entirely possible that some of those drivers bought multiple routes and formed up their own little company, or that FXG followed in Amazon’s footsteps and switched to contracting with companies rather than individuals.

Amazon upped it here by hiring courier companies, even helping to found them, with really bad contract deals, rather than hiring individual contractors like companies had before this.

Amazon is particularly good at thinking up ways to avoid responsibility, they own no vans, employ no drivers, have no planes nor employ any pilots, and they don’t own any tractors and don’t employ any truck drivers.

Did they change? I worked for them as a sorter before they were FedEx Ground, and at that time it was similar, each driver was a contractor with FXG, but after the lawsuit (dunno what happened with that), and seeing how successful the scam was for Amazon, I wouldn’t be surprised if’n they changed.

I’m not surprised it won’t be an electric Maverick, I don’t think they’re ready to make a new version, and the current chassis I don’t think would work for a BEV, though I’m surprised they haven’t made a PHEV version, as the chassis is shared with the Escape IIRC which has a PHEV version or at least had one.
