Fed Ex was just indicted on charges that it helps facilitate the
transport of illegal drugs, especially from Canadian pharmacies. (Where
drugs are much less expensive.)
That the CEO of FedEx, Fred Smith, is an ardent supporter of free enterprise, who has supported free market political groups such as the Competitive Enterprise Institute, and runs a non-union shop is a coincidence of course. That FedEx’s main competitor, is pro-union UPS (UPS got away with a $40 million fine, FedEx is looking at potentially over $1 billion) is also a coincidence. That pharma, which has close ties to this White House (and every White House) doesn’t like cheaper drugs coming in from Canada, is also a coincidence.
Yup, everything is on the up and up.
Additionally it should be noted that FedEx is refusing to spy for the government and this irks the Feds particularly. FedEx rightfully argues that policing the packages in their system is not their job. Their job is to get packages from point A to point B in a timely manner. Also abusing the trust of their customers is not exactly good for business.
