JUST IN: FedEx issues statement on its relationship with the NRA: "FedEx is a common carrier under Federal law and therefore does not and will not deny service or discriminate against any legal entity regardless of their policy positions or political views."
Who said anything about discriminating or denying service? The CEO of Fed Ex is a right wing asshole.

(37,748 posts)It's a pivot from the actual premise, and addresses a concern no one has argued. It's a logical fallacy made simply to wrap defecation in a shiny box.
I can see why you think it's fair.

(36,827 posts)The idea that they must continue to do so because of anti-discrimination law is laughable at best.

(115,735 posts)They're just being asked not to give NRA members a discount, which isn't a denial of service. NRA members just wouldn't be getting special rates and would have to pay the same as everybody else.

(22,756 posts)but not surprised that they will not call out NRA... most of FedEx business is B to B and they don't have a lot to lose
