I fail to see why, IF the sale goes ahead, UPS would close down a perfectly good, European registered and crewed operation & replace it with expat Yanks. I feel your dreams of world domination, BTW, are somewhat misplaced.

Browntailwhale , if YOUR economy keeps dragging the rest of the world down as it`s been doing , you might see UPS bought by the Chinese , lock stock and barrel and then you and the rest of your like can get used to saying USA is NUMBER 2 !! That`s what happens when a million Walmart employees realize they can`t afford a 3 bedroom house on minimum wage.

Read your papers today. UK is in the worst downturn in 60 years according to the headlines in the Guardian.
While there are some who over bought their homes 98% of the mortgages are served. IT is only a crisis in the liberal newspapers, which you better hope are wrong. When the US gets a cold, the world gets pneumonia.
