  1. You know why cause he had something to do with the removal of Trump Votes..

  2. I wouldn't use Fed-Ex
    Any more !

    Blesssed !

  3. Fed ex treat there employees like garbage πŸ‘Ž

  4. It’s sad what America has become. Thanks to the dummycrats and the global rich spoiled brats!
    This man is an example of a once great America!

  5. I hate to say it that FedEx is no longer an exemplary business. They were once the standard for "on time" delivery, but in recent years their standing has degraded. Not sure if the priorities changed, maybe pressure to meet payroll with inadequate labor, perhaps just a societal movement toward a substandard work ethic – don't know the reasons, but I will never willingly use them any longer, and if a vendor uses FedEx, I pretty much expect it to be late (sometimes several days), and I don't even bother reaching out to customer service – a complete waste of time. Too bad a once great American success story has fallen so far.

  6. If you ever want a lesson in Capitalism … Fred Smith is it. An amazing example of the aggressive "take no prisoners" approach to life and business is how Fred secured the venture capital to get FEDEX off the ground. Fred is not a faint-of-heart / risk averse person, quite the contrary. He measures what he might gain against what he might lose and seizes every opportunity for advancement. It served him in the military, in business, and his personal life. Along with some extremely talented people like Art Bass (who shared these traits) Fred has accomplished even what many countries couldn't. When I grow up, I want to be just like Fred Smith.

  7. A legend who cares about country, came up with an idea and built a market-driven business that met the needs of customers and hired employees. Perhaps a good lesson in pursuing the American dream: persistence, hard work, a good idea, and treating people well while overcoming obstacles and those who didn't understand his plan and vision. Even as he steps down from his position he does not falter in his responsibilities to the country his company or his customers.

  8. FRED ABSOLUTELY

    DESTROYED MEMPHIS

    AIR QUALITY.

    HE SHOULD BE IN PRISON

  9. This generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. Please read Mark 13 and hear with humility the Words of God through Jesus Christ to His world.
    The prophecy of God is true and never fails.
    Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

  10. Yep. He received a c grade which tells me something about the level of the value of that professor's class value to foster executive excellence. It makes me think about how much the colleges charge prospects and the inflation associated with the May expiration date.

  11. Life not only business look family spent time with family

  12. You're old enjoy life with family man

  13. Thank You for Your service .
    True Patriot

  16. Fred Smith is a legend within his own right πŸ‘

  17. TODAYS YOUTH ARE TOO WEAK

  18. With the problem and economic melt down around the world today.
    Our basic income can't stand the bills. The best backup plan one can do right now is investing on Forex trading or Crypto staking though stocks are good but ever since I swapped to Forex I've seen so much difference in my finances

  19. I am held hostage while these puke people just continue to steal

  20. Medals are not "won", they are EARNED!

  21. A business visionary….so insightful that a college business professor couldn’t grasp it.

  22. More lies! Stop with all the lies. We are awake now.

  23. A legend, and a lot more optimistic about "our youngsters" then I am.

  24. Fred is worth $4.9 billion. Semper Fi!

  25. Fedex is the absolute worst logistics company ever absolutely terrible

  26. Semper Fi, Captain

    Fair winds and following seas to all.

  27. Didn't know some of the history of the accomplishments of this man. Excellent job Charles!

  28. I thought he had passed away. Glad he hasn’t!

  29. Worked for fed ex freight 11 years, job was threatened almost every day, wanted to write you up all the time. Glad I don't have to deal with it anymore.
