Every year, the Post Office negotiates these lucrative deals with large companies—giving minimal consideration to family businesses—to subsidize their high number of deliveries. This happens ever year but little, if anything, is revealed to the public. The fact that USPS gives away its services at below-market prices to one of the world’s largest companies, while demanding additional taxpayer support, is simply unfathomable. Sweetheart deals for large corporations disadvantage mom and pop businesses, leaving them on the hook for peak surcharges, while e-commerce behemoths take advantage of backroom arrangements to subsidize their immense shipping activities....

There has been lots of speculation over whether or not WWE will allow the former NXT Tag Team Champion to leave, especially as Superstars including Luke Harper and Mike Kanellis still remain with the company despite taking the same approach as Sin Cara by publicly asking for their releases.

The litany of problems states have had with their elections during the COVID-19 pandemic does not bode well for the November election. And we will continue to see problems unless Congress acts—swiftly—to help states with funding to make sure every eligible American can safely exercise his or her right to vote.

McGregor reminds everyone who the real boss is In a tweet that the Irish knockout artist later deleted, he trashed the UFC for putting Poirier ahead of him even though he put “The Diamond” to sleep within two minutes of the first round when the pair met in a featherweight clash back in 2014 at UFC 178 and lasted longer against the undefeated Russian than Poirier....
