ONE COMPANY THAT HAS NOT BEEN BOWING TO PRESSURE TO
ELIMINATE SPECIAL DEALS WERE DISCOUNTS WITH THE NRA IS FEDEX.
HERE IS WHAT THEY HAVE SAID PUBLICLY AFTER A LIVE
OUTCRY ABOUT THEIR SPECIAL DISCOUNTS FOR THE NRA.
THAT IS BOTH TRUE AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE
DISCOUNT WHICH THEY DO OFFER.
THEY HAVE ATTEMPTED TO MUDDY THE WATERS WITH UPS.
THEY SAID THIS ON TUESDAY.
WE ARE GOING TO STAY ON FEDEX FOR JUST A LITTLE BIT.
IF YOU JUST LOOK AT WHAT IS
PUBLIC IT LOOKS TOTALLY FAIR.
UNFORTUNATELY AND INSIDE SOURCE PROVIDED THINK PROGRESS
WITH SOME INTERNAL COMPANY DOCUMENTS THAT WERE NOT
INTENDED TO BE LEAKED.
WHAT
IS INTERESTING IS THAT THEY ARE PUBLICLY SAYING YOU
HAVE TO SHIP IT OVERNIGHT WITH THE IDEA BEING IT WOULD
JUST BE AS EXPENSIVE AS UPS.
BUT YOU CAN ACTUALLY SHIP IT IN TWO DAYS SAVING MONEY.
IT IMPLIES THAT WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN PUBLICLY SAYING ABOUT
THE NRA IS NOT TRUE.
I'M GOING TO THROW LITTLE OF A CURVEBALL HERE.
I DON'T MIND THIS SO MUCH.
IT IS 1000 TIMES CHEAPER AND ACTUALLY GETS YOU THE STUFF
THERE, AND I HEAR THEY WORK UNDER ALL CONDITIONS.
BUT HAVING SAID ALL THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO HOSE THEIR
COMPETITOR BY SECRETLY GIVING DEALS TO THESE COMPANIES.
IF YOU'RE GOING TO SHIP A HAM SANDWICH YOU HAVE TO SHIP
IT OVERNIGHT.
BUT DO YOU SEE MY POINT?
THEY ARE PUBLICLY SAYING ñ
THEY ARE SAYING WE DON'T DO
DONATIONS OR SPONSORSHIPS.
THEY STILL HAVE THE DISCOUNT AND WILL STILL DO THE DISCOUNT.
THEY ALSO HAVE THE SPECIAL DEAL.
BUT THAT MAKES THEM EVEN LESS HYPOCRITICAL.
THEY ARE GOING TO KEEP GIVING THE NRA MEMBERS DISCOUNTS,
WHICH I DON'T AGREE WITH.
LOOK IF THAT BOTHERS YOU AND YOU ARE A BOYCOTT KIND OF PERSON
THAN UPS NEXT TIME AND NOT FEDEX.
IT BOTHERS ME THAT THEY PUT OUT THIS HUGE STATEMENT.
BUT ON THE OTHER HAND THEY ARE NOT GOING TO STAKE OUT A
POLITICAL POSITION SO THEY ARE JUST TRYING TO STAY NEUTRAL.
BY THE WAY GIVE ME ALL OF YOUR MONEY.
BUT SEEMS SHADY TO ME.
ONE, THAT IS WHAT COMPANIES DO, SHADY THINGS TO MAKE MONEY.
AND THIS IS WHAT TYT DOES, WE POINT IT OUT.
IT IS JUST A LITTLE UNDERHANDED.
IT'S UNDERHANDED TO THEIR COMPETITOR THAT IS WHY I
DON'T CARE
OR MIND.
