Speaker 1 (00:00):
From the city that changes the world. Peers Rose with
three things you need.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
To know for you Monday, Rose, what you got for us?
Speaker 3 (00:08):
So?
Speaker 4 (00:08):
DC Police are warning residents about a scam tied to
a fake website. The police department says that at least
one person has been contacted by a scammer who demanded
an in person meeting under thread of arrest, which like terrify.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
The scammer then directed the.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
Victim to a website that included fake links to police departments,
including one for the DC Police.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Now.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
The website even included a fake QR code to be
used to report scams.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Wow, I hate it.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
Here, the police department says that anyone contacted should hang
up on this gamer and stay away.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
From suspicious website. So yeah, just they won't call you,
They'll just come to your house.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
I guess I don't know.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
Maryland health officials are confirming the first adult human case
of the Westnole virus this year in Baltimore. So the
patient is receiving it's recovering, and officials are urging residents
to take precautions against mosquito.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Bike So make sure you're wearing bugspray.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Also, if you.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Have any free standing water in your vicinity.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Dump it.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Yeah that is.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Where that is a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Just dump
it west Now, virus is primarily spread through infected mosquitos
and can cause serious illness and pif people over fifty
and people with weak immune systems. So the Health Department
recommends using insect repellent and like I said, eliminating that
standing water to reduce mosquito breeding. And DC ranked among
the top ten safest US cities for pedestrians.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
Oh cool, wow, ir.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Really thought the same thing.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
I was like, are we talking about the same DC
that I've almost been run over?
Speaker 3 (01:38):
It?
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Yeah? Else district?
Speaker 5 (01:40):
No, No, they don all.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Actually DC ranked nine and this was the safest and
most dangerous cities for pedestrians in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Full second, I mean, what the hell we talking about?
Speaker 3 (01:52):
I only saw someone last year yet. Yeah, yeah, you're
so crazy.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
So, according to this report, the district had two point
ninety five pedestrian that's per one thousand people or one.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Hundred thousand people.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
DZ also had a walk score of ninety eight. So
the report noted that the dense urban planning and extensive
transit system enhanced that pedestrian safety.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
This is what they're saying. But yeah, I saw that
and I was like.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Yeah, disagree.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Okay, have they walked to see themselves?
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Nashville, Louisville, and DC achieved the highest walk scores among
the top ten cities, each scoring over ninety six.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
I think DC got ninety eight. Actually on the water core.
I'm rose.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Those are the three things you need.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
To know for the day, bank Rose, You're welcome. Let
me start this by saying we love our teachers.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
We did.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
We're big pro teacher. My parents teachers. Yeah, we all
had several teachers. But this story I Germany is wild
teacher who'd been on sickly for sixteen years that sends
alone crazy, refuses to take tests to prove she's still sick.
What SHO whole thing is pretty wild. So this woman
(02:59):
went on leve sixteen years ago for medical issues in
two thousand and nine, she has since continued to draw
a full salary from the education authority a West German
state of where she lives. Under a German basic law,
teachers can use our class as I can't don't tell
the words, but basically public servants the enjoy several benefits
over other state sector workers, including special health play and
(03:21):
higher pension, better job security. Yeah, certainly also allowed to
take a full salary while on sick leave makes sense
in the argument here. However, The unidentified teacher has sued
the authority after it began to challenge her extended absence
and requested she take a medical test.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Girl, it's been sixteen years. What did you think was
going to happen?
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Name her?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Yeah, yeah, because she's sixteen years. Somebody knows she's actually.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
So she She sued the authority after beginning a challenger.
Her case was rejected by a court which said her
situation is quote truly incomprehensible, ma'am.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
But also like if you are are, you're gonna have
to prove it. Like why would you not have to
prove that?
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Well, there's a lot of like faults here, right, because
somebody should have realized that's probably on that Nobody checked
in on Janis after like six months.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
But hey, make sure you're okay, because I would think
that's something that you have to prove, I don't know,
every six months or every year. Yes, yeah, it's like
when you get prescribed like a eightyh she MEAs or
something a still got proved that you have it, which
that makes sense to me.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Is it wrong to assume maybe they're happy she was
gone in general and they're like, well, no, it's it's
better for the camaraderie has have her not come in,
because how would you know if we had a coworker
who was sick, we would check in on said coworker, Oh, yeah, hey,
are you good?
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Who is paying her?
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah? No, most sorry, So it's like she's never never left.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
She's crazy at least like in our In this country,
there's not enough money for teachers, so to pay someone who's.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Well, we talked to a guy a couple of years
ago in the show who he was fired by his
job and then they just kept paying for a year
and he didn't didn't bother tell them much. Get that. So,
according to reports, teachers in this eric can earn up
to about fifty three hundred dollars a month, so based
on that, it's roughly seventy two K a year. So
she's basically, over the course of the sixteen year period,
(05:12):
made about a million dollars in wages.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
If I was a teacher who knew her, I would
ud her I've been working for sixteen years.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Yeah, like, especially as you're taking it from the community,
like you're taking like from like your people.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Also, if you're actually sick, take the testa guy.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Yeah, Like, And then I don't think that's weird that
they're asking you to prove that you're actually ill.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
The fact that you've been like, nah, not going to
Could you imagine if I told this place that, hey,
I'm going to be gone for a while. Yeah, how
long for somebody noticed.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
Notice that you're gone?
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Yeah, I mean hey, because it's your show, same hour.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Yeah, So it would be a little weird.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
It's a little weird.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
If it's just like me and Rose hanging out, I
think it'd be pretty.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Under the current ruling, she has to undergo the exam,
but she wants to keep taking and salary. Also has
to pay for the court.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
Grass as she should.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
That's uh. Yeah. The president of the teacher union did
say the conducts is slapping the face of members. Dumb.
But also I would wager to bet several people had
to bring this up, and it wasn't until she threatened
to sue that was a There's no way if I
was a teacher and I knew somebody was getting paid,
did not work, I'd say something, Oh.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Absolutely, I would put a reward up and be like, yo,
if you got information on this lady, you.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Can get paid. Honestly, Take the w that you got in.
Just all right, fine and move on.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
Don't don't see them become like a article
