Roughly 8% of Minnesotans 12% of Wisconsinites are days away from losing SNAP benefits.

Food shelves and banks are already strained with fewer available hours in Wisconsin compared to Minnesota.

Food banks and shelves aren’t equipped to fill the gap.

More than 440,000 Minnesotans — roughly 8% of the population — use SNAP benefits.

In Wisconsin, nearly 700,000 people — or 12% of the state’s population — rely on SNAP through the state’s FoodShare program.

#News #Kodak

Kodak announced in a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing on Monday that there was "substantial doubt" about the company's ability to stay in business.

Kodak pioneered film photography and dominated the market for much of the 20th century. It became a household name, known for products like disposable cameras, and at its peak, controlled over 80% of the U.S. film market.

Three Recessions in Less Than Two Decades? A Millennial’s Lament

In 2008, in the midst of the financial crisis, I was 17 years old. I wrote an article for my high-school newspaper detailing how my small-time babysitting business lost dozens of customers. But even at that early age, I could see the neighborhood effects rippling out from mortgage foreclosures, bank bailouts and more.

The golden dome system has been upgraded to include a geostationary 10 GHz ham radio satellite for North America. Not to be outdone by other countries it will have twice the output as its nearest competitor.
