Still seems a bit odd to me. It doesn't explain why "GLOBAL RESOURCE SYSTEMS, LLC" is involved. Poking around, the individuals associated with that aren't government employees. The company was formed 9/8/2020 in Delaware.

Who are the people associated with that company? I’d like to further investigate them.

The answer is clear. They sprang to life right as Trump was leaving office because Biden knew he would win and though his company is registered in Delaware, it is actually just a Chinese front.

Thanks a lot, Appreciate. It is not I don't want to pay the washingtonpost.com. I just don't have time to read them.

If you have Amazon prime, it's half price and free for the first month.

This is a complete side point, but what does this sentence mean?

I've tried subscribing to a few news sources, including WaPo, but I can't handle the political agendas (right, left, or any of it).

I've had better luck with subscription based aggregators, but nothing exciting enough to want to plug one in particular.

Always looking for new options to try.

I want to reply to the following dead comment [1] > Aah, the wapo, that's Bezos, isn't it? It actually doesn't seem that unreasonable to me that a company as large as Amazon sees vast, unused resources held by the government. They publish an article as a sort of "wink wink, nudge nudge" to see if they can get it put up for auction. In fact, I'd be shocked if someone at Amazon or another company hasn't tried to ask th…

"edit: Downvotes? Really?" is a surefire method of attracting downvotes.

You can look up the company name on Florida's Division of Corporations: http://search.sunbiz.org/Inquiry/CorporationSearch/ByName

The Delaware company is registered there as a an "outside of the state of Florida" entity operating in Florida. Some actual people names are listed. I'm fairly confident it's the same company, as the Plantation, FL address is there.
