They don't disclose those investments and how much they're profiting from it.

And I think I speak for most Wisconsin women that he should stay out of all of our personal lives.
The two debated Friday night, the race is tight and the outcome could tip control of the entire U.S. Senate.
The Green Bay Packers and the city of Green Bay can't agree on a new lease for Lambo field.

Terry Bell, civic media news. Here's what you need to know closer to home.
For WGBW News, I'm Lisa Hale.
JD Vance was in Waukesha yesterday campaigning for the Trump Vance presidential ticket.
But before then, he made a quick little stop in Green Bay prior to the Packers game.
He stopped at Kroll's West where he had a beer with fans before moving on to the private tailgate at one of the homes backed up to Lambo.
Vice President Kamala Harris will be in Waukesha later today with Liz Cheney for a moderated conversation.
The organization that founded the Packers Heritage Trail has filed suit against the city of Green Bay to stop the removal of the Packers Heritage Trail monument at the corner of Cherry in Washington.

A temporary restraining order to prevent the removal of the monument was signed last week, a hearing on the matter was postponed when the city requested a new judge.

Gas prices are below $3 a gallon throughout Wisconsin.
In Appleton, the average is $2.95 a gallon down over nine cents from last week.
In Green Bay, the price of gas is averaging $2.96.
Overall, in Wisconsin, the cost for a gallon of gas is $2.94.
Inflation, the high cost of housing and rentals and the pandemic are three reasons more households are using food pantries.
Says Bob Hornichack, the assistant executive director of Paul's pantry in Green Bay.
Right now, we've seen kind of the real impact of the pandemic.
For a while, there were so many government programs that came in.
There was so much emergency food shared and flooded into the system.
And as that went away, we started to see some of the real impacts that had been masked by some of those girls.
Paul's pantry, the largest food pantry in the state, serves over 1,200 households in the Greater Green Bay area every week.
Neighborhood associations do more than keep things looking nice.
They also help cities develop policy.
Says Green Bay Alderman, Brian Johnson.
So, Neighborhood associations are the folks that we lean in on to tell us about what are the challenges you're facing, what are the problems that you have, what are the opportunities that we're seeing that we're not taking advantage of.
And your Neighborhood associations have that deep rooted understanding what's happening on every single block within their neighborhood.
And then it allows that information to flow up as we make larger policy decisions.
Johnson's Neighborhood associations can also help with social isolation issues.
Job hunters should be cautious of jobs that are offered through apps and texts.
Says Michelle Reinen, with the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture Trade and Consumer Protection.
She says sometimes scammers will even hold fake online interviews.
They try and make everything look legitimate by going to that whole phase of getting you into maybe a Google Room to hold that interview.
And they may claim some technology problems during the interview as to why you can't see them or different connections.
But they're going to want you to quote, fill out their applications where you're going to hand over that personal information.
Contact the DAPTC if you suspect a scam.
And that's what you need to know. I'm Lisa Hale, WGBW News.
The Packers win a thriller. Hi, I'm Mike Clemens with sports. The Packers with a 24 to 22 win over the Houston Texans Sunday.
Thanks to a 45 yard field goal by their new kicker, 33 year old Brandon McManus.
It's exciting. What a week. Great group of guys. I'm the oldest on the team by two years.
Some of them are trying to call me uncle and dad already, but now it's super excited to be here.
Yeah, what a way to help this team win in my first game here, Lambo Field Packers, Ed coach Matt LaFour.
He's of that. You can see it. The moment's not too big for him. And obviously that was a big time kick.
Green Bay improves to five and two. Next they'll play the Jaguars and Jacksonville.
College football. The Badgers able to strip sack Wildcats quarterback Jake Lausch on the way to a 23 to three win at Northwestern.
Look fickle on his team, able to convert turnovers into points.
That's the key element to what we're starting to see from from this group is we're able to take advantage
of some of these opportunities that are presented to us.
The Badgers host Penn State on Saturday with sports. I'm Mike Clemens.
On your entertainment beat, I'm Peach Schwabba. Sure, Mel Gibson has his quirks and comes across as a bit crazy at times.
Many people seem to have written him off, but not actor Andrew Garfield, who says everyone deserves a second chance.
The Spider-Man actor told People magazine Gibson has done a lot of soul searching and beautiful healing within himself.
Many think the actor heard his career in Hollywood since a DUI in 2006 during which he made anti-Semitic remarks.
He directed Garfield in Hacksaw Ridge as recently as 2016, so it's not like he's completely unemployed.
Speaking of Spider-Man, Tom Holland teased a script for Spider-Man 4 and says it's coming along nicely.
He and girlfriend co-stars in Daya have both read early drafts and are very excited about the project which is still a long way from being in theaters.
So people have to try even harder to remember Holland's Peter Parker after the previous films ending inside joke.
In this makes a ton of sense news. Variety reports that Al Pacino says he took roles in movies that he didn't even understand because he was flat broke.
Pacino says one minute he had $50 million and the next minute he had nothing.
Thanks to his accountant who stole from him and ended up spending seven and a half years in jail.
Pacino went back to work, but not for the money he made when he was younger.
This makes a lot of sense as the actor did a lot of not-so-memorable films post 2010.
His new memoir Sunnyboy is available for purchase this week.
If you like musicals, you'll love this.
Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson are set to play a couple who is part of a Neil Diamond tribute band.
Variety reports Song-Sung Blue is in the early stages of production.
The cast also includes Fisher Stevens, Jim Belushi, and Michael Imperiali.
The show is based on a real-life couple who are struggling musicians and formed said tribute band in 2008 calling it Lightning and Thunder.
Who else thinks this sounds like an absolute blast?
The apprentice starring Sebastian Stan has caused some controversy and generated the ire of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
Trump and his team tried to prevent the film from coming out altogether.
Stan says that's hypocritical as the candidate has been touting free speech.
The apprentice follows Trump in the early days of his business ventures.
The film receives good reviews and is currently in theaters.
Remember when we used to order DVDs from Netflix through the mail?
And there were times the company was struggling to survive?
Those days are long gone.
Netflix added 5 million users in the third quarter of this year alone.
The company is projecting its earnings to be 43 billion in 2025.
That's a growth of 11 to 13 percent according to Variety and about 5 million bucks more than last year.
The streaming platform now has 282 million users.
This must mean lower prices for subscribers, right?
