Very vague
What happens if a candidate or their social media team retweets a meme?

I believe a meme is a image last time I checked
A meme is not limited to images.
quote:
A meme is a cultural idea, behavior, style, or piece of media that spreads from person to person—often through imitation or humor. In modern usage, especially online, a meme usually refers to an image, video, or text that is shared and modified across social media platforms to convey a joke, commentary, or trend.
There are two main types of memes:
Internet memes – These are typically humorous images or short videos with text, such as the classic "Distracted Boyfriend" or "Grumpy Cat." They're shared rapidly and often altered or remixed.
Cultural memes – These refer more broadly to units of cultural transmission, as originally defined by biologist Richard Dawkins in The Selfish Gene (1976), where he compared memes to genes in how they replicate and evolve.

Do you not know how memes work?

feel free to post the (((official cancellation watch)))
Do you need me to break down the title further for you and define what "claims" mean in the context?
For example...I can claim you aren't a liberal moron. That doesn't make it a fact.

I can't stand watching that whole group of car guys. Hoovie, Ed Bolian and Tavarish. They all seem so fake and feminine.

WWII Veteran Seymour Weiner has passed

WWII Veteran Seymour Weiner, who became a social media icon and memorable name after being featured a Mets “Veteran of the Game” last season, has passed away. He was 98.
Weiner’s quick notoriety inspired the Mets to do a “dollar dog night” with his name on its advertising. “It’s been so enjoyable,” Weiner told The Athletic last year. “In no way does it annoy me. Just look at all the notoriety I got out of it!”

I'll tell that to the package they lost last month.
I didn't say they were perfect
My Amazon business ships about 600 packages per month, and the majority are FedEx now. We have had no issues so far.

Lol it's because they're consolidating centers and dumping more of a workload on their workers.
They're just using the tariffs as cover.
Yep. Easy to blame Trump and not get backlash from the public and union

The CEO is horrible.
Oh I know
She shut down all UPS-owned customer service centers. Now the only choice you have are the UPS stores which are not owned by UPS. I dont see how that is better.
The hub in Lake Charles was always busy with businesses using it. I know that many of those businesses did not switch to the UPS store but instead switched to FedEx
The UPS store in Lake Charles is in a horrible death trap of a parking lot and location. Not business friendly at all.

FedEx has made some changes and the past 6 months or so they have been kick arse

Of course, they will blame Trump and tariffs but the truth is that they began cutting jobs as soon as the negotiations with the Union ended last year, resulting in huge employee raises. You can't expect them to pay huge wages and try to remain competitive with FedEx, USPS, and even Amazon's growing delivery service without reducing costs.
I ship packages daily and FedEx has been killing UPS on cost and delivery speed.

United Parcel Service’s first-quarter profit beat market estimates and the parcel delivery giant said it will cut 20,000 jobs to lower costs in an uncertain economy and in anticipation of weak volumes from its largest customer, Amazon
Shares of the company rose nearly 2% before the bell on Tuesday after it said it expects to save $3.5 billion in 2025 from job cuts and by shutting 73 leased and owned buildings by the end of June.
Extensive tariffs by U.S. President Donald Trump have slowed down trade and led companies to reduce costs in anticipation of a demand hit. For parcel delivery firms, the slowdown is likely to reduce the need for shipping services between companies.
“The actions we are taking to reconfigure our network and reduce cost across our business could not be timelier,” CEO Carol Tome said.
UPS said it was not providing any updates to its full-year outlook due to the economic uncertainty, even as it lowers costs through job cuts, warehouse closures, increased automation and asset sales.
“The removal of 2025 guidance will likely create a wide range of outcomes that may be difficult to underwrite without greater macro clarity,” Evercore ISI analyst Jonathan Chappell said.
The company last year said it cut its workforce by 12,000 jobs. It expects expenses between $400 million to $600 million during 2025, related to separation benefits and lease-related costs.

re: BINGO – Longshoreman Union Announce Opposition to President Trump’s Tariff Program

The problem with the tariff approach is that it doesn't make sense to do it before you have the supply chain logistics worked out internally
That would require an extensive amount of government subsidies which would be in direct opposition to any fiscal goals.
There doesn't appear to be much of an actual strategy here.
You should call the White House and tell them your thoughts. Make sure to tell them you are an O&G safety man so they know you have a lot of experience in international trade
