It wasn't the first and probably wouldn't be the last time he looked this irresistible as he sat across from you at diner. He was right in front of you, but he felt so far away at the same time. Since the moment you stepped past the threshold of his favorite upscale downtown restaurant, he had not looked up once from his phone. You get it; you try to, at least. He's a busy man who works hard to spoil you, but you just wish you could have even a second of his attention at times. You dressed in your finest tonight; you even had the hairdresser you hired for big networking events come and do your hair. You wore your favorite necklace that hung daintily from your neck; it twinkled and caught the light from the nearby chandelier the restaurant owner picked expertly to fit the ambiance. You wish your necklace had caught your partners attention, but instead It also caught the eye of a few other patrons that passed your table; their gaze soon drifted down to the plunging neckline of your gown. All the details of your outfit were thoughtfully handpicked by you, only to be overlooked and ignored by the man who sat in front of you. Your frown deepens at the thought.

You remained poised and ordered for the two of you when the waiter came around. You fidget with the silverware in front of you as the waiter gives you a pitying glance before he retreats back to the kitchen. He would probably gossip to his coworkers about the pretty girl's date tonight, which was probably going worse than being stood up. This always happens, and by the end of the night, you would have to swallow the lump in your throat and fight back the tears burning your eyes as you noticed the extra dessert they gave you on the house.

"So, babe, do you remember that necklace you got me from Greece?” You wait for a response and continue on when he gives you a slight hmm in return: "Well, I'm wearing it now, does it look nice?"

Sure, maybe you were fishing for compliments, but you just wanted him to look at you. Just ONCE tonight, you internally begged.

“Everything looks good on you babe,” he says without sparing you a glance.

Sweet,charismatic,charming. He was everything a girl could wish for. He was never short with you, and he really did listen sometimes but he definitely didn't give you the attention you deserved. It wasn't often that you even got to see him. He was typically away on business trips, and when he was home, he was cooped up in his office.

You huff in disappointment; you could probably tell him you got pregnant and was having another man's child, and he would reply with,“That's wonderful, sweetie.”

“Babe, who are you texting? Won't you turn it off just for tonight? It can't be that important.” You try the direct approach.

"Love, you know I can't. We’re about to close a deal that could boost company revenue by 65%. Once we close the deal, I'll get that bonus I've been waiting for, and then I can finally take you on that vacation you've been talking about.” He concludes. He switches to texting with one hand and uses the other to reach across the table and hold your hand in his.

It was hard for you to be upset. Everything he did was for you; all he ever thought about was you, but you weren't sure how much more you could take. You bring his hand up to your face affectionately before resting your cheek in his palm.

After a few moments, you release him, and he goes back to texting under the table. You were growing frustrated with his behavior. You were tired and embarrassed; you didn't even think twice about getting your own phone out and texting your personal driver to pick you up. He wouldn't notice your absence; why would he? He could pay the bill once the food comes out and bring it back home as leftovers. You decide that was hardly punishment enough for what he put you through. You get a notification that your driver is waiting, so you quietly gather your things and leave.

Silent tears fall, and you hang your head low to hide your sorrows from your driver. The Lord knows the gossip that goes on about your relationship.

Just one day—that's all you asked for—one night, and he couldn't even give you that. You didn't want the luxury, the money, or the status; you just wanted the man you met in college. Things have changed drastically since then, and you can't help but reminisce. Back before, he climbed up the ladder at his current company and before the gifts, back when he was just your tiger. That's what you used to call him anyway; his ambition was inspiring, and you were drawn to his drive and optimistic attitude. He was like a tiger who would tear down anything in his way to get to where he wanted. That passion is what made you love him, but it wasn't just the passion that he poured into his work but also the passion and affection he showed you. All of which have been missing lately, replaced with cold nights and meaningless promises. You didn't care about what he could give you; you wanted HIM! You wish he would realize that; maybe then he wouldn't work so hard.

Your thoughts were racing as you rested your head back against the cool leather of the seats. Attention. That's all you wanted, and maybe the memories of what you used to have are what made you a little bitter. Maybe that's what drove the anger in your heart—forcing out the sadness and replacing the cold loneliness with burning anger.

Attention, that's all you wanted.

Was it so hard? Just one night, just a few hours—that's all you asked. He couldn't give it to you. He would give you the moon if you asked, but to Hoshi, time wasn't money. Hoshi had no issue giving you money; time was opportunity. You scoff at yourself for how ridiculous it sounds. Maybe he just had to learn how valuable time was.

Attention, that's all you wanted.

And that's what you would get.

You're pulling into your driveway, and as you look at the grand house that sits on the driveway, you almost feel bad. He provided everything for you and you didn't want to hurt him, but when you remember all those empty rooms and how lonely the big house made you feel all those nights alone, you didn't feel so bad. He didn't seem to feel bad when he left you to travel across the globe. He didn't feel bad when he could only spare you a quick text. It seemed like even hearing his voice was hard to come by nowadays.

You thank your driver as he opens the door for you, and you make your way inside. You click off your shoes and head up to your shared bedroom. You strip down to the sexy lingerie that he didn't even get to see. Another thing to add to the list of crimes he's committed tonight. How dare you dress up so prettily for him, and he doesn't even strip you out of it?

You plop yourself in the center of your bed and get to work. The Lord knows when he'll get back. He's probably noticed your absence by now and assumes you're in the bathroom. Instead of texting or calling to find out where you went, he'd rather leave it up to assumptions to fill in the blanks.

Another crime to list.

The thought drives you to move forward with your scheming with no further qualms.

You scroll far down into your gallery until you find it. You have to be careful and pay attention as you select the video. You were currently reviewing the hidden folder in your gallery full of videos that keep you company when Hoshi can't. If he did anything right, it was lay pipe. He would fuck you within an inch of your life and hold nothing back, making up for all the time he's been away.

That was the only time you had his undivided attention. He would spend hours worshiping your body; everything was about you in these fleeting moments.

But that's not what you're here for today.

Today, you're looking for broader shoulders, thicker forearms, and messy black hair.

In your defense, you did mean to go back and delete these videos; they were old and you weren't with him anymore. There was no reason for you to cling onto any old videos of you and Seungcheol; it was just that whenever you went to delete them, other videos of you and Hoshi would distract you, and you would totally forget what you had originally even opened the folder for.

You and Seungcheol dated way back before you and Hoshi. In moments like these, you wonder what he's up to. Would he ignore you like this? Would he treat you this way? A call away, and all your questions could be answered.

No, you loved your Hoshi. He was your star. No matter what, you wouldn't give up on him. You wouldn't.

The video you selected displayed you bent over on your hands and knees with your head in the pillows as thick fingers gripped your waist, pounding into you from behind. The shaky camera work attests to the rough movements of his hips as they slam into your backside. The video continues, and his fingers trail up from your waist, smoothing over your back lovingly, before finding their home in the hair at the nape of your neck. He firmly pulls, and your head jerks back at the sudden tug. Your hair tangles in his grasp as he holds you in place, pushing you back down into the pillows. The video ends a few seconds later, after a few harsh thrusts cause you to arch your back violently and moan out, begging for more.

Perfect

The video was short and simple. Little was shown of the room, which was perfect for the situation you would use it for. His phone had all his attention. If you wanted some attention, you would just take it, give him something to stare at on that phone of his. You send a barrage of photos in your lingerie with a quick text.

You:

‘Missing something?’

You wait for a bit, and a response comes.

🐹 💞 is typing:

‘When did you go home babe? Why didn't you tell me you were leaving? We could have gone together.'

‘Im sorry, I'll be home soon. I'll get it to go’

You:

‘You wouldn't have cared whether I told you or not.’

‘Someone else is keeping me company tonight anyway.’

Video attachment

You see that he's opened the message, and you wait for his reply. The attention that you so badly craved, you would soon receive.

🐹 💞 is typing

…

🐹 💞 is typing:

The typing bubble appears, then disappears again and again. You get a call immediately after. You feel a bit bad seeing how frantic he's become, but you don't care; you want to drive a stake through his heart. You want to hurt him back, so you decline the call, and not even a second passes before another one comes through.

🐹 💞 :

‘Answer the phone, y/n.'

full name? Oh. You were in trouble when he got there.

🐹 💞 :

‘You think your fucking funny? This better be a fucking joke when I get home.

You continue to ignore his calls and texts. See how he likes it. You were finally getting the attention you wanted, but why does it feel kind of shitty? You hate playing these games, and you almost send him a text back explaining yourself, but you hear the front door slam shut, and you're frozen in your spot. Reality was starting to set in. You realized you didn't plan this far ahead. Hoshi had never EVER gotten upset at you before, and you weren't sure how he would react. You hear his footsteps approach the room, and you can feel your heart beating up into your throat.

Then you see him.

His highlighted hair is a mess; it's almost as if he's been running his fingers through it repeatedly. The tie to his suit has been loosened and hangs limply from his neck. The crisp, ironed lines of his button down were wrinkled and untucked. His suit jacket must have been discarded somewhere along the way.

“I'm sorry, I went too far this time. I-"

“Shut the fuck up,” he says, cutting you off smoothly. He's undoing the cufflinks on his sleeves. He's not met your eyes once since he's entered the room, and you can feel the anger slowly start to creep up again.

Not looking. He's not looking again.

Something in you flips, and you open your mouth to spit something vile to take back your apologies. You wanted him to feel everything you've ever felt. You want him to feel like he's drowning, just the way he makes you feel.

You are about to list off every sin he's committed against you and why he's the one who should be apologetic when it all dies on the tip of your tongue.

The look he gives you could freeze over hell. He's finally raised his head and pulled his attention away from the pesky cufflinks. the way he looks at you through the messy hair that falls in his eyes. He looks like a predator lurking through the tall grass, sizing up his prey.

Like a tiger about to pounce.

You finally got what you wanted, but his gaze burns as he stares at you unwaveringly. You finally got his attention, but you would give anything for him to look anywhere else in the room, even for a minute.

But he doesn't because, for once, time was all he had in this moment.

“I'm the bad guy, right baby? That's what this is all about, right? I don't give you enough.” You hear the clink of his cufflinks as he drops them to the floor haphazardly. He prowls closer to you now. "Yeah, I'll be the bad guy.”

He's crawling towards you now. Piercing gaze pinning you in place. All you can do is clutch your phone to your chest as you tremble under his gaze. Stupid device. It was all its fault that any of this even happened.

“Nothing to say now? Gone quiet? That won't do."He tuts

In a heartbeat, he's got you pinned to the bed, your phone wrenched from your grasp, and tossed to the side. Once he's got you where he wants you, he takes a moment to drink in your body. Your lingerie caught his attention, as intended. His temporary, stunned silence gives you a little courage to speak up for yourself.

“I just wanted you to look at me.” You cant help the sadness that seeps into your voice. You can feel your eyes begin to water, and when he meets your gaze again, he softens up a little. He tilts your chin and kisses your eyelids softly.

“I won't look away. I'm all yours, now and forever,” he reassures you. “You're all mine, no one else's, so save those tears for later love; they're not gonna get you out of this.” His grip on your chin tightens, forcing you to meet his eyes again. Any kindness is out the window again as he remembers the little video you sent him.

It was worth a shot.

He positions himself between your legs and meets your lips in a needy kiss. He needed this just as much as you did. You press your body against his firm one in an attempt to feel more of him. You whine into his mouth, and he shakes his head, already knowing what you want. He purposely left his clothes on before joining you in bed. He knows how badly you crave physical contact, and he's not done punishing you. He's not going to give you the satisfaction of feeling his warm skin against yours. You would take what he gave you.

He kisses your neck and grabs your arms, instructing you to keep them where he had them pinned above your head.

“Don't move," was all he said as he continued to kiss your body. He didn't bother taking off any of the lace that clung tightly to your skin. He wasn't in the mood to make love to you right now; you pissed him off a little too much for that tonight. He gropes you over your bra as he kisses your stomach hotly before moving lower. You try your best not to move, but you can't feel him well through the fabric. You cry out at the thought of how good he would feel pressed against your bare, sensitive skin.

“Please?” you try. He would drive you insane like this.

“Who was he?” He evades your silent question by asking his own.

Confusion strikes you first as you try to collect your thoughts. He? The only person you're thinking of right now was Hoshi, and how badly you wanted to strangle him between your thighs if he didn't touch you properly.

“The guy from the video you sent,” he clarifies.

He's kissing you over your panties now. The thin lace panties allow you to feel the heat from his tongue as it laps over your core. His arms wrap around your thighs, locking them into place as he messily licks at your clit through the fabric, making it slick with his saliva.

Your thighs seize up at the feeling, and you have to focus everything on not moving like he instructed. He strikes the side of your thigh with a harsh slap, reminding you he was waiting for your answer.

“This guy I used to date... from college,” you explain as best you can. "I haven't spoken to him in years. That video was old."

“You lied,” he states. He felt him breathe a slight sigh of relief.

“I would never cheat on you, no matter how upset you make me,” you say, a little ashamed of your temper tantrum.

You go against his command and reach down to run your hand through his hair reassuringly. He appreciates it and doesn't reprimand you for it.

He shoves his face further into your heat. Nudging your clit with his nose as he licks into the fabric. He seperates his lips from yours as he turns to lay a possessive kiss against the inside of your thigh before pulling your panties to the side and diving in again.

He made it his mission to devour you whole, to never make you second-guess his love for you again, and to make you never even dream of wanting another man between your legs. The way he rolled your clit between his lips and tongue drove you up a wall. He paws at your thighs, trying to coax you to relax. It was his silent warning. He told you once to keep still; he wouldn't repeat himself.

Your breath is heavy as your chest heaves. He gives you a small break and properly discards your panties, stripping them from your body. He takes another moment to take in your wet folds as they glisten in your slick.

“Tastes so damn good.” He moaned before lowering himself back down onto his stomach. Throwing your leg over his shoulder. He works in a finger and sets a ginger pace as he pumps his digit into your drenched hole.

Maybe he was whipped because you could practically feel every groan and grunt vibrate against your sensitive core as he ate you out. In your own bliss, you barely noticed the way he grinded his hips against the mattress. He was enjoying this as much as you were, but you could still see the flashes of anger in his eye as he held eye contact with you as he sucked harshly on your clit. Sure, he was having a blast eating you raw, but he wouldn't let himself get so pussy drunk that he forgot your punishment. One too many times, he let your sweet persuasions get you out of trouble. He swore you were a devil for the way you bargained and swindled your way out of punishments, using your sweet cunt as your main selling point. Promising this position, that location, and more.

He didn't let up, and your trembling thighs around his head are enough indication that you're close. Just as your back begins to bow, he releases you. He's quick to sit up and press a warm hand on your womb, pinning you down further into the mattress. It's warming enough.

Hold it. Don't. Cum

You can practically hear the words as they taunt you, circling around in your head like a broken record player. You try to focus on the silent command and try to will yourself to hold it. But it's all for naught. You cum pathetically around nothing, and he doesn't help you ride it out. You quake a bit at the hollow feeling. A ruined orgasm—what could be more torturous? You glare at him. You figured you deserved it after your little stunt today. It's still a bit unfair; he was the one who was an asshole first!

He can read you like a book and lay a few kisses across your stomach in silent apologies. He really didn't like punishing you. He had the biggest soft spot for you, which you would no doubt always use to your advantage.

“No more mean tiger, I want my soonyoung,” you pout.

Hoshi scans your face for any of your usual tricks, but he finds none. He figured you were punished enough. You really were sick of the games. You spent far too much time apart not to have him in the ways you've been dying for. Right now, you didn't need the man who would put everything into fucking you to make sure you still felt him when he was gone. You didn't want the rough, ravenous tiger that took over in these moments. You wanted your sweet soonyoung that would make love to you whenever you were stressed. The soonyoung that would take all of your worries away and smother you in so much love you could drown. You wanted the soonyoung that would take away the feelings of doubt. You felt on the long, lonely nights that he was away.

He understood what you needed in this moment of vulnerability, and he would be damned if he didn't give you the moon.

He kisses you passionately. Deep and slow. He takes his time as he savors the taste of your lips. You invite him into your mouth, and you welcome his bold tongue as it coaxes yours into a sensual dance. You're drunk on his lips alone, and you don't even realize he's already stripped you of your bra. You feel his hands entertain yours at your sides. He pulls your hands together, guiding them to have you wrap your arms around his neck. It was his way of telling you that it was OK to touch him now. Punishments were over. He let you off easy. Again.

As you wrap your arms around his neck, you're surprised to be met with skin-to-skin contact. He must have unbuttoned and shoved his shirt off when you were deep in the kiss. You appreciate his multitasking, and you're eager to pull him down and press your bare chest against his.

You're drenching the sheets, so Hoshi doesn't have to do much when he slips right into you. You both moan out at the feeling, and you immediately tighten around his length. This is what you were missing the first time you came, and your greedy cunt wasn't going to let that feeling escape again. Hoshi moaned pathetically and buried his head into your shoulders.

“Ease up baby, I'm not going anywhere. I've got all night." he pants

You shake your head in defiance. You needed him deep; you didn't want him to pull out for even a second; you wanted to feel all of him at once for as long as possible.

“Fuck- please baby. Be my sweet girl. Trust me, I got you,” he reassures.

You look up at him, and the sight almost makes you lose it right then. The way his brows pinch up in agonizing bliss, the heavy pants that escape his slick lips as he makes it a habit to lick and bite at them to try and calm down. You order your body to listen and relax. You take a few deep breaths and give him the reins. You ease up and lay back. He promised to make you feel good, and you trusted him.

And that he did

Deep, sensuous strokes coax long, drawn-out moans of pleasure from your lips. All you could do was bury a hand in his locks as he made love to you. You try your best to hold on as he repeatedly drives into your heat, hitting deeper each time. You were often known to run from deep strokes. The way they kissed at your cervix could be too overwhelming at times, but you had missed this feeling so badly that you laid there and took everything he had to give you like a champ.

“That's my girl,” he would whisper seductively in your ear.

You weakly attempted to meet his thrusts but gave up shortly after, he was giving you everything your body craved. There was no point in you trying to put in any work. Tonight, you would let him show you his love. Prove to you that you will always have his attention.

He leans back to meet your eyes and holds the stare. He grapples at your thighs, holding them close to his waist more for his sake than yours. He needed something to ground him. He could feel himself getting so close. You don't dare look away, as you feel your high slowly creeping up as well.

“All eyes on you baby, always," he promises.

You feel your eyes water, but you don't dare break the connection. This is all you wanted. You hated how you behaved to get to this point, but it was worth it in the end.

He bites his lips and brings down a hand to rub harsh circles into your clit. Your back arches, and you cum around his length. Your pussy basically crying in joy at being properly filled this time. It tightens down harshly against Hoshi’s length and pulls him over the edge. He fucks into you for a few more moments as he slowly comes down from his high. Thighs shaking, chests heaving, he collapses next to you.

You two would properly apologize in the morning. You're both too tired to move or even speak. You know things are going to get better for you two. You believe him, and when you turn over to find that his gaze has never left you, nothing in the world could convince you otherwise.

Excerpt from this story from Grist:

When the Racetrac chain of convenience stores was deciding whether to install electric vehicle chargers, project lead Rushi Patel started with a blank Excel sheet and a lot of questions. Did the financials make sense? Where is the best to install them? What features should they have? The answers to questions like these could go a long way toward establishing an economic argument for building out America’s public EV charging infrastructure.

“We found our guests using new types of fuels, like electrons, and we wanted to be with them as part of that journey,” said Patel, the diversified energy manager at Metroplex Energy, a subsidiary of Racetrac. But he was clear that “it’s important to have an offer that does make money.”

Patel slowly started to populate his spreadsheet in 2021, filling cells with EV adoption rates, utility prices, construction costs and a range of other metrics. He also took the company’s executives on a two-hour tour of charging spots in Atlanta, where Racetrac is based. One was tucked behind a shopping plaza, the other was deep within the bowels of a mall garage. It was clear to them that Racetrac could do better.

Two years later, Racetrac installed its first Level 3 fast charger in Oxford, Alabama — complete with the company’s logo and a canopy to shade people from the sun as they pump electrons. It has since opened seven more in three states. So far, he said, “[the business model] is holding up pretty well.”

Those eight chargers are among the 61,000 that blanket the country, a figure that has more than doubled since 2022. The increase comes as mounting evidence shows EV charging stations can be a boon to businesses, and not only by selling electricity.

A recent study in the journal Nature Communications looked at chargers in California and found that, pre-pandemic, businesses saw an average annual boost of $1,500 when at least one of the devices stood nearby. Another paper examined Tesla Supercharger installations nationally and saw they brought a 4 percent increase in visitors to a business. The effect was particularly pronounced if the chargers were within 500 feet, and if it was the first one in the area. This boon is due to the fact that it can take 30 minutes or more to fully charge an EV, giving drivers plenty of time to shop.

“The places that tend to get the biggest bump, is the place that aligns with how long it takes you to charge your car,” said Gordon Burtch, an author of the paper and a professor of information systems at Boston University’s Questrom School of Business. “Sit-down restaurants aren’t benefiting as much as fast-food restaurants.”

The Importance of SEO for Loc

youtube

In today?s competitive marketplace, local businesses struggle to stand out and attract customers. With the heightened use on internet queries, SEO techniques has become a vital tool for businesses to improve visibility, connect with clients, and drive revenue. This article will explore why SEO is important for local businesses and how it can revolutionize their digital presence. Defining Local SEO Local SEO is a specialized subset of SEO that is aimed at boosting the visibility of businesses in geographic-specific searches. When potential customers search for products or services near them, local SEO ensures your business shows up at the first page of the listings. Local SEO includes updating your Google My Business profile, focusing on location-specific keywords, and creating local citations to build credibility. This strategy is important for businesses that depend on foot traffic, such as restaurants, boutiques, and service providers. Benefits of SEO for Local Businesses Increases Visibility Local SEO allows businesses to climb in search rankings. Data suggests that the initial results of Google receive upwards of 90% of clicks. By optimizing local keywords, businesses can gain visibility, making it simpler for customers to locate them. Draws in Specific Audiences Local SEO targets users who are specifically looking your services in your area. For example, a potential buyer searching for "best pizza near me" is more likely to visit a local pizzeria than someone scrolling through unrelated content. This priority on user intent leads to better prospects. Establishes Authority A solid online presence indicates reliability and reliability. Updating your Google My Business profile with precise data, glowing testimonials, and updated photos can build confidence among prospective clients. Boosts Profitability Unlike offline promotions, SEO offers ongoing advantages at a minimal investment. Once implemented, your business can benefit from steady leads without ongoing expenses for ads. Steps to Apply Local SEO Update Your Online Listings Ensure your business information is correct. Add professional visuals, address customer testimonials, and include your operating times. A well-optimized profile significantly improves your chances of appearing in the top listings. Use Geographic Keywords Research and include keywords relevant to your area and offerings.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Lost in the hubbub surrounding California's new $20-per-hour minimum wage for fast food workers is how that raise could impact public schools, forcing districts to compete with the likes of McDonald's and Wendy's for cafeteria workers amid a state budget crunch.

The minimum wage law that took effect Monday guarantees at least $20-per-hour for workers at fast food restaurant chains with at least 60 locations nationwide. That doesn't include school food service workers, historically some of the lowest-paid workers in public education.

Yet demand for school meals is higher than ever in California, the first state to guarantee free meals for all students regardless of their family's income. And demand is projected to fuel an increase of more than 70 million extra meals in California schools this year compared to 2018, according to the state Department of Education.

But these jobs typically have lots of turnover and are harder to fill. The minimum wage boost for fast food workers could make that even more difficult.

“They are all very worried about it. Most are saying they anticipate it will be harder and harder to hire employees,” said Carrie Bogdanovich, president of the California School Nutrition Association.

Statewide, some districts have already taken steps to compete in the new reality. Last year, the Sacramento Unified School District — anticipating the law's passage — agreed to a 10% increase for its food service workers and other low-paying jobs, followed by another 6% increase July 1 of this year to bump their wages up to $20 per hour.

Cancy McArn, the district's chief human resources officer, said it was the largest single raise in the district in nearly three decades.

“We are looking not only at competing with districts and comparing with districts, we're also looking at fast food places,” McArn said.

In Southern California, San Luis Coastal Unified doubled its food service staff to 40 people after seeing a 52% increase in the number of students eating school meals. The district prepares 8,500 meals daily for 7,600 students across 15 school sites — breakfast, lunch and even supper options for youth in after-school sports and activities.

The district has since limited the number of its entry-level positions, which are the hardest to fill, while seeking to hire more for complex roles like “culinary lead” and ��central kitchen supervisor” that require more skills and hours — making them more attractive to job seekers.

“That’s allowed us to be more competitive,” said Erin Primer, director of food and nutrition services for the San Luis Coastal Unified School District.

Tia Orr, executive director of the Services Employees International Union California — which represents both school food service workers and fast food employees — said school districts and other service industries must consider raising wages because of this new law.

“This is a good thing, and it is long overdue,” she said.

But some districts are limited in what they can do. In the Lynwood Unified School District in Los Angeles County, the starting salary for food service workers is $17.70 per hour and maxes out at $21.51 per hour, according to Gretchen Janson, the district's assistant superintendent of business services. She said these workers only work three hours per day, meaning they aren't eligible for health benefits.

Janson says the district is waiting to see how employees react, adding: “We just don't have the increase in revenue to be able to provide additional funding for staff.”

Nuria Alvarenga has worked food service in the Lynwood School District for 20 years. She makes $21 per hour now, but said she could likely earn more in fast food.

While she said several co-workers were considering finding other jobs, she hasn't decided yet what she will do. She normally works at an elementary school, but has been filling in recently at a high school where she enjoys seeing former students recognize her as they stand in line for lunch.

“I'm so glad they still remember me,” she said.

School food service workers have gotten more support in recent years under a state push to expand school meals and make them more nutritious. That included $720 million in recent years for upgrades to school kitchens to better prepare fresh meals, plus $45 million to create an apprenticeship program to professionalize the industry.

It would be difficult for lawmakers to mandate a raise for school food workers given the complexities of the state's school funding formula. That's why some advocacy groups, including the Chef Ann Foundation, proposed a state-funded incentive program that would have given school food workers who completed an apprenticeship program a $25,000 bonus payable over five years.

That idea didn't make it into Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom's budget proposal released in January. The state is facing a multibillion dollar budget deficit, limiting new spending.

But pay raises aren't the only incentives school districts can offer. There's also health insurance, paid vacation, no night or weekend shifts and a pension that could guarantee a monthly income after retirement. Plus, school food workers have predictable hours, letting them work other jobs if they wish — or in summer when school is out.

“Restaurants are laying off employees. They're cutting hours,” said Eric Span, director of nutrition services for the Sweetwater Union High School District in San Diego County. “I think we should position ourselves to really talk about some stability.”

Michael Reich, a labor economics professor at the University of California-Berkeley, said those factors could favor school districts when competing for workers.

“Working in a school cafeteria gives you more stability, job security and maybe less stress than in a profit making institution,” he said. “So there's a lot of advantages from a community standpoint. But that's not to say they don't also want to get more money.”

Incoming Text for @zoesaldana and @rosariodawson :

Subject: A Profound Opportunity for Collaboration Between the Hispanic and French Communities

Here’s a well-structured message to convey the benefits of uniting the Hispanic community in Florida with the French community in France:

"Lucrative Tourism Opportunities: Bridging the Hispanic and French Communities"

"A Profitable Partnership: Uniting Florida’s Hispanic Community with France"

"Unlocking Billions: A Strategic Tourism Collaboration Between France and Florida"

"Tourism Transformation: The Economic Benefits of Hispanic-French Unity"

"Creating Wealth: A Vision for Tourism Collaboration Between Hispanic and French Cultures"

Dear @zoesaldana and @rosariodawson,

I hope this message finds you well. I would like to discuss an exciting opportunity that stands to benefit both the Hispanic community in Florida and the French community in France. The potential for collaboration between these two vibrant cultures could lead to significant economic benefits, particularly through tourism. Here’s a breakdown of why this initiative is worth pursuing:

Cultural Exchange and Enrichment: Uniting the Hispanic and French communities offers a unique chance for cultural exchange. By connecting these communities, we can facilitate a sharing of traditions, culinary experiences, and artistic expressions that will enrich both cultures. This cultural synergy can enhance the appeal of Florida as a destination for French tourists.

Economic Growth Through Tourism: French citizens have a deep appreciation for diverse cultures, and many are eager to explore the rich Hispanic heritage found in Florida. By promoting Florida as a key tourist destination, we can encourage significant spending from French visitors. Studies show that international tourists contribute billions of dollars to local economies, and the Hispanic community stands to benefit immensely from this influx of funds.

Creating Lasting Partnerships: This collaboration can lead to the establishment of long-term partnerships between businesses in both communities. By working together, businesses can create tailored experiences for French tourists that highlight the unique offerings of the Hispanic community. This includes promoting cultural festivals, culinary events, and artistic showcases that would attract more visitors.

Job Creation and Community Support: Increased tourism will lead to job creation within the Hispanic community in Florida. As French tourists flock to enjoy the local culture, restaurants, hotels, and shops will experience higher demand, resulting in the creation of new jobs and support for local businesses. This economic boost will foster a sense of stability and prosperity within the community.

Building a Network of Support: By uniting the Hispanic and French communities, we create a powerful network that can advocate for shared interests. Together, these communities can amplify their voices, promoting inclusivity and diversity while addressing common challenges. This collaborative spirit can lead to initiatives that further support both groups.

Tapping into a Lucrative Market: The potential market is substantial. With millions of French citizens eager to travel, tapping into this demographic presents an opportunity for substantial revenue generation. The billions of dollars in yearly tourism spending from French visitors can significantly impact Florida's economy and enhance the livelihoods of those in the Hispanic community.

In conclusion, I urge you to consider the immense potential that lies in uniting the Hispanic community in Florida with the French community in France. This partnership is not merely beneficial; it is vital for unlocking significant economic opportunities and fostering cultural connections. Together, we can pave the way for a future rich in collaboration, understanding, and mutual support.

Thank you for considering this important initiative. I look forward to your thoughts and hope we can work together to make this vision a reality.

Warm regards,

Angelo.

P.S.:

Synopsis of the letter:

The letter addresses @zoesaldana and @rosariodawson, emphasizing the significant economic opportunity that exists by uniting the Hispanic community in Florida with the French community in France.

Inside Blake Shelton's Net Worth and How Much He Made on 'The Voice'

Blake Shelton went from 'Ol' Red' to major green.

Blake Shelton's net worth comes from a few different revenue streams, but The Voice is, without fail, why most people know his name and the source of most of his annual income—or at least it was. He left the NBC ratings juggernaut in 2023 after 23 seasons as a coach.

Don't cry for Shelton's bank account, though: He's got Grammys, hit songs, a restaurant, a ton of endorsements and even the most hotly contested Sexiest Man Alive title ever.

What is Blake Shelton's net worth in 2024?

Blake Shelton's net worth is estimated at a cool $130 million as of August 2024.

While much of Shelton's earnings came from The Voice (more on that later!), he also earns handsomely from his live performances and album sales. Shelton makes a mint from brand endorsements as well, including deals with Pizza Hut, Pepsi, Land's End, Gildan, Smithworks Vodka and Walmart, to name a few. Rolling Stone also reports that Shelton sold his catalog for a cool $50 million in 2021, which would certainly add to his net worth in a huge way.

Who is richer, Gwen Stefani or Blake Shelton?

At this point in time, Stefani is wealthier than her husband. The former No Doubt frontwoman is worth $160 million—about $30 million more than Shelton. This is because she's had her hand in so many pots: Her work with No Doubt, her solo efforts, her Las Vegas residency, her clothing lines, her fragrances, her cosmetics endorsements, her makeup line, her eyewear line...There is a lot of branding involved with the blond beauty!

How much does Blake Shelton make per concert?

Some reports claim that Shelton grosses as much as $1 million per concert. However, it's important to remember that ticket grosses get divvied up in a lot of ways: Promoters, venues, production staff, management, booking agents and the like all get a cut. This means that while it's an amazing sum and nothing to shake a stick at, Shelton doesn't actually take home a million bucks per live performance.

How much does Blake Shelton make a year?

Shelton's annual income varies depending on what projects he takes on and whether he's touring or releasing a new album. That said, during his tenure on The Voice, when combined with album sales and other income, Shelton reportedly averaged around $30 million. That number will be much lower in 2024 without his Voice salary.

How much does Blake Shelton make for Barmageddon?

In 2022, Blake Shelton, Carson Daly and Nikki Bella joined forces for a new celebrity game show set at Ole Red, Shelton's downtown Nashville bar. The show, which returned for Season 2 in 2023, featured bar-themed games like "Beer Bombs," "Air Cannon Cornhole" and "Four Play."

We don't know how much Shelton makes for his part in the series, but it's likely a hefty sum as he and Daly are producers for the show. The show has also likely boosted revenue at his bar as it was basically a big ol' ad for Ole Red.

Where else does Blake Shelton make money?

Blake Shelton doesn't flip houses like some stars, but he knows real estate is one way to a woman's heart. In 2020, Blake bought the $13 million home in Encino, Calif., where he and Gwen now live. He also owns a 1,200-acre working ranch in Oklahoma. It's the backdrop for his day-in-the-life Instagram videos and where self-proclaimed city girl Gwen is learning to get her hands dirty. These properties contribute a firm footing for Shelton's stellar net worth.

Encourage user-generated content by photo posting on social media and tagging the shop along, expanding your reach even further.
