This is from Jabr-Woky’s wonderful blog …
According to UPS on any given day they have two percent of the world’s GDP in the back of their UPS delivery trucks and/or cars!
Now if we assume DHL and FedEx can claim similar figures, that means upto 6% of the World’s GDP is handled by 3 companies every-single-day.
Can you imagine what would happen if they all decided to go on strike at the same time?
Not only would it affect the global economy, but for certain countries it would probably cause more damage than any war or act of terrorism.
This begs the question: If this situation occurred, would Bush invade these organisations because they represented a serious threat to America and the World?
To have that level of power in the hands of just 3 companies [or should I say, in the hands of the Unions that represent the people of those companies] is amazing – and is surely the perfect storyline for the next superhero flick.
Just a thought ….
