UPS, Fed Ex, still playing catch up with United States Postal Service over Christmas rush.

The seven figure salaried mucky-mucks at UPS and Fed Ex have opened up their wallets a little wider this year trying to avoid the melt down they experienced last year in the frost and snow. In two words they 'blew it' last year, playing the Billionaires that bashed Christmas while the USPS quietly went about their 24/7/365 job providing Chevrolet service at Chevrolet prices. At UPS and... Fed Ex it was Cadillac prices for Yugo service last Yuletide. This year they've added over 50,000 seasonal workers and poured billions in infrastructure to avoid delivering presents days after Santa hit the Caribbean for a well earned rest. Over at the Postal Service it business as usual. Their only worry is survival from the Congressional lackeys trying to destroy the USPS on behalf of the Wolves of Wall street.
