That's when Virginia joins the small but growing ranks of states protecting disconnects during extreme heat. "We have to account for extreme heat outside the normal months of the year that are increasingly hotter now," Aird said. I predict we will see more places experiencing heat crises and heat emergencies. Nearly three million people have their electricity shut off annually because they cannot afford to pay monthly bills, according to the Energy Justice Lab. A majority of states (40) have statutory-based utility disconnection protections that cover specific times of year and vulnerable populations, according to the Energy Justice Lab.

Jim Holthouser, CEO of GoTo Foods, formerly known as Focus Brands, said that some diners had been limiting their spending. GoTo Foods owns Cinnabon, Auntie Anne's, Jamba, Moe's Southwest Grill, McAlister's Deli, Schlotzsky's, and Carvel. The data only compares restaurant spending in 2019 and 2023, and doesn't show how this has changed in recent months. Estimated retail sales from GoTo Foods' licensing partners totaled about $1.5 billion in 2023, or just over a quarter of total sales across its brand portfolio.

Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky says he has a simple method to help. Chesky's solution: Find two employees who work well together and put them on the same team, he recently told Wharton psychologist Adam Grant's "ReThinking" podcast. It worked so well that I started thinking about this notion of duos in other areas." When you pair people up — putting them on the same team and seeing what happens — consider their approaches to work. In Chesky's case, the idea started as a productivity strategy and turned into something more.
