After this summer of horrible hurricanes, many regions and islands were completely destroyed. The Caribbean is still rebuilding, but travel to the area has returned. One of the first airlines to get back into the region was Tradewind Aviation. The private airline company was the first on the ground in St. Barts after Hurricane Irma passed through the region. Brothers and co-founders David and Eric Zipkin join Cheddar to explain that despite the devastation, the Caribbean is picking up and moving forward. The co-founders also discuss their new agreement with United Airlines. The private aviation company has entered into an agreement where customers can book travel to one of Tradewind's island destinations through United Airlines.

Small grocers and convenience stores feel an impact as customers go without SNAP benefits
Some small grocery stores and neighborhood convenience stores are eager for the U.S. government shutdown to end and for their customers to start receiving federal food aid again. Late last month, the Trump administration froze funding for the SNAP benefits that about 42 million Americans use to buy groceries. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says about 74% of the assistance was spent last year at superstores like Walmart and supermarkets like Kroger.

A former director of the United Nations World Food Program says SNAP is not only a social safety net for families but a local economic engine that supports neighborhood businesses.
