Supply Chain in Chaos, Schools struggling to Serve Lunch

Schools throughout the United States are struggling to serve meals to students. This is due to the labor shortages across the country. This is a huge problem as many students rely on these lunches for nutrition and in some cases the students only source of a meal for the day. Covid-19 is definitely to blame as it has completely disrupted the distribution chain for these schools. 97% of school meal planners are concerned about receiving the meals for the week due to how big of a cluster the supply chain is. A school in Missouri has been using Sam’s club to get frozen pizzas to serve to students. This is a very important rising issue as the children need this meal at school as it may be there only one for the day. 

I feel this author did a good job of giving background information and details to help the audience understand. The labor shortages are having a huge impact on many things in the United States but this is one not many people know about. The author does a created job using facts and many details to describe the situation. I feel the author did a great job bringing attention to this issue. Overall, the article is very informative and well written. 

I found this to be very interesting as I had no clue this was happening in schools. I think this is very important for people to know about as this can affect many children. This can be seen as news as it affects the majority of parents and children throughout the country. Overall, this article sheds light on an issue that is going almost unnoticed even though it is very important.

Zach Olsen transition to College during Covid

I got the privilege to sit down with Zach Olsen and talk about the struggles hes faced with Covid while being in college. Zach says, “I do not feel I have gotten a true college experience.” Covid has not allowed for many day to day things that go on in college to happen. He found the hardest part through this whole thing is wearing mask as they can be a distraction. Zach does not find the online learning environment to be working as, “there are too many distractions around me in my room.” Covid has not only affected Zach in his learning but also with his sports. He felt that Covid made it much harder for the basketball team to bond. The bonding was hard because outside of practice they are not supposed to be in big groups. This was because they did not want the whole team to get quarantined if one player gets Covid. Zach understood this though as he had been quarantined twice and nobody wants that for anybody on the team. Although Covid has been very hard for Zach and his college experience, but he felt the biggest help was the teachers. The teachers have helped and been very understanding through the pandemic. Zach said, “I am ready for Covid to be over and get back to a normal College life.”

Carl Nassib ‘s Huge Impact on and off the Field (9.23)

Carl Nassib is now the first openly gay NFL player to compete in a regular season game. Not only did he play but he made a huge impact for his team helping them beat the raiders 33-27. Nassib forced a fumble from Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, which the Raiders then scored two plays later to win the game. Carl is the only openly gay player to play in the league in its 102 year long history. Ownership and fans are both happy with the acceptance of him as it was not a major deal that he is openly gay. If anything there has been much acceptance and promotion of him as within 24 hours of him announcing he was gay his jersey became the top selling NFL jersey. Carol Nassib is first player to put himself out there as openly gay while still competing in the NFL.

The author did a great job in this article describing the history of the NFL and how there have never been an openly gay player playing in a regular season game. He also noted the history of Car Nassib and the events that have happened since he has announced that he is gay. I felt the most positive part of the article is how much the author talked about the overall impact he had on the game. Overall, the author did a great job of giving readers a complete understanding of the history of the situation and how it is working out for Carl Nassib. 

This is interesting news in the football world as it shows change that is currently occurring in football. Also what it shows is the support for Carl Nassib as where a couple decades ago there may be little to no support for Carl. Carl’s story does a great job showing the cultural changes in not just football but all of society. This is why Carl’s story can be seen as news as not only did he have an amazing performance but he is also creating history.

Controversial Law gives Citizen Power and Rewards

The State of Texas recently passed a new abortion law that can be enforced by just citizens in which the citizens receive massive award for enforcing the law. . 

The new law states that abortions can no longer take place after six weeks from the pregnant person’s last menstrual cycle. The government is not enforcing this law as it requires citizens to enforce by suing. 

We have already seen this law being enforced as a Texas doctor, Alan Braid, is now being sued by a former felon from Arkansas. The Washington post reported he does not necessarily care for new law but is just trying to capitalize on the 10,000 dollar reward. 

We may see in coming weeks many more situations similar to this as citizens are chasing the incentives the government is offering.

This law can spread throughout the country as The Washington Post Reported that this new law in Texas may be spreading into other states. It is reported that seven states have considered copying Texas’ new abortion law.

The law is protected from the Supreme Court since the law is enforced by private Citizens. This was purposefully designed to withstand any unconstitutional claims. 

Sonia Sotomayer, a Supreme Court Justice, said, “an extraordinary step of enlisting private citizens to do what the State could not.” Nothing in this law has been proven to be unconstitutional even though many do not agree with the law. 

The law is taking advantage of citizens’ desire for the ten thousand dollar award to enforce this law.

Some feel that this law basically eliminates abortions in the state of Texas. Especially due to the fact many women in the United States do not know that they are pregnant by 6 weeks. 

Under these laws it makes it almost impossible for someone to get an abortion. For a woman to try to get a judicial bypass is very difficult and some may say impossible. Once the teenager is able to get infront of the a judge and plead her case as why she should be allowed to get an abortion, the judge now has 5 days to make his decision.

If the judge denies her case, the woman now has no other options but to have the baby. This is due to the fact that an appeal process would take too long.

  Many people are upset due to the fact people who were raped have few options to abort the child. Although the Texas Governor, Greg Abbot says, “It provides at least six weeks for a person to be able to get an abortion.” The reason people are upset is that many women do not know they are pregnant till at least four weeks. 

The toll on women may be the worst thing for these women as a study of a large number of women found that women who were forced to have the child suffered extreme physical and mental concerns. The concern does not just stop there it also continues with financial struggles. 

There will never be a concise opinion on this issue so this problem will continue for years to come.

One minute of Terror for Local Store Owner

Bj’s Drug store was robbed last night as store owner, Barney Joseph Jr, was held at gunpoint around 8:30pm.

Two masked men entered the store and successfully robbed the store by walking out with over 380 dollars in cash. The robbery took less than one minute as they exited to their already running car the store owner said.

Joseph had a weapon behind the counter but choose not to use it as he did not want the situation to turn out like the one his father was in 25 years ago. Joseph father pulled a gun on robbers 25 years ago and the result was him being shot to death in his own store.

When Joseph was asked about this he said, I’d rather part way with money than my life.”

Controversial Texas Abortion Law -Draft

The new law states that abortions can no longer take place after six weeks from the pregnant person’s last menstural cycle.The government is not enforcing this law as it requires citizens to enforce by suing. 

Some feel that this law basically eliminates abortions in the state of Texas. Especially due to the fact many women in the United States do not know that they are pregnant by 6 weeks.

An important part is when a lawsuit is filed, the civilian is suing the person or place that gives performs the abortion not the patient. 

Overall, there are many different opinions in the United States about this abortion law. There will never be the same opinion on this issue so this problem will continiue for years to come.

Sioux City Bans hand-held radar guns

Yesterday, the East Dakota Highway patrol banned the use of hand held radar guns in Sioux City, Iowa. The reason behind such ban is due to the risk of troopers developing cancer of longterm exposure from these radars. There are currently studies going to over the radition that emitted from these guns and if they can be connected to cancer.

The East Dakota Highway Patrol is doing this as a precaitionary action but this will remove 70 radar guns from the area. Although the Patrol will not have these guns there is still radar units on the outside of their cars allowing them to see the speed of cars.

The East Dakota Patrol is choosing to be on side of caution until is more information is found out about the issue. Some day we may see these 70 radars back in action on the Sioux City Streets.

Inspiring Comeback of Mackenzie Milton

Adrea Adelson wrote this article about Mackenzie Milton’s impressive return to the game of football. Mckenzie Milton suffered a catastrophic leg injury that took 34 months to recover from. Milton was unlikely to ever play football again especially after a severe infection that almost led to Milton’s leg being amputated. Despite all of these setbacks, Mackenzie’s name was called in the fourth quarter versus Notre Dame. He led Florida State from down 10 points to force overtime. All the Florida State fell just short in overtime versus a top 10 team Milton made a huge statement to the world. Milton proved that not only did he overcome a major injury, but he can still play quarterback at a very high level.
The author, Adrea Adelson, did an amazing job explaining the history of Milton’s college football career to prove her point of how amazing this comeback story is. She used great detail and quotes to show readers that Milton almost lost his leg and was never supposed to play football again. This was a crucial part of the story as it made what he did in the game even crazier. Although he did not win his stats showed that he is still able to play at such a high level. The injury in my opinion is what draws readers in as most people love a crazy comeback story. Overall, I feel like the author did a good job of explaining the history to truly show the importance of this story in the sports world.
