(Not The Bee) Yes, you read that right: UPS deliverymen (and women too, for you people who hate the masculine plural), will be earning an average of 170 G’s a YEAR.
UPS’ CEO said drivers will average $170,000 in pay and benefits such as health care and pensions at the end of a 5-year contract that the delivery giant struck with the Teamsters Union last month, averting a strike.

That breaks down to about $102,000 in salary, with the rest made up of benefits, or an increase from $43 an hour to $49 an hour.
After this news broke, it’s been amazing to see the little media clowns scurry around in their little clown cars to explain why this is a huge win for everyone, especially Joe Biden.
Bidenomics and a strong labor movement are in full effect as full-time UPS drivers win a high six figures. https://t.co/ok1uHCBpjB

Yep, there were people who were paid to write that.
Instead, I want to focus in on the brainworm I just introduced in the sentence above, but really in the headline itself.
Many of you are asking yourself a question right now: Why am I not making as much as a guy who only needed a driver’s license to be qualified for his job?

And there’s the kicker. See, what the media circus doesn’t want to talk about is the skyrocketing cost of living or the devaluation of the dollar that’s making union contracts like this possible. They are hoping you don’t start asking why you’re only making a measly $30 an hour as an accountant with a 4-year degree and 10 years of experience until the next election cycle is over.
Inflation? What inflation? 🔥🔥🔥

Anyway, we didn’t come here for doom and gloom. Adam McScrooge isn’t paying me enough for that (watch that brainworm go!), so instead I’ve compiled the best and freshest memes about the UPS motherlode for your enjoyment:
