Speaker 1 (00:00):
Then from the city that changes the world, peers Rose
with three things you need to know for a your Friday, Rose,
what you got for us?
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Federal workers in the DMV are racing for a possible
government shut down. Funding is set to expire at the
end of the month, which is Tuesday, and non essential
workers would be furloughed without pay if a shutdown occurs. Now,
the White House is saying that there may be mass
firings if there's a government shut down. A memo went
out instructing federal agencies to prepare reduction in forced plans
(00:28):
in case Congress failed to agree on government funding by
September thirtieth. The memo directs agencies to identify programs whose
funds will end if Congress doesn't meet the deadline, and
says those programs could face sweeping reductions that could permanently
eliminate certain jobs. Top Democrat Chuck Schumer called the memo
intimidation and says the firings would be unnecessary, so.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Hopefully they figure that out.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Spot and lantern flies are obviously everywhere kind of growth,
but they might not speak for much longer. So the
flies were initially reported in the DMV region more than usual.
An expert says that as the temperatures change, you will
likely see less of them, which is nicety. Here they're
also saying that even though every year typically get more
(01:12):
and more, this should be the worst year and it
should get better after this. Oh hey good, which I
literally hate them.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Yeah, they're gross.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
So Luckily for residents and even visitors, predators like birds
and praying mantises can help decrease the population of lantern flies,
and there's hope that their pets like presence will slowly
fade as the temperature changing. Like I said, in the meantime,
if you see them, smash them. That's what they're saying,
even though it seems like it's not doing.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Much really help. Real quick fun fact. Up until maybe
three years ago, Sauce thought the praying mantis is called
the prime mantis because just sneaky conversations.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
It is a little sneaky.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
It's like, oh, the prime mantis, and John's like, I'm sorry,
what excuse me?
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Praying with their little heat? Why would know? They correct me.
Point that is very good man. There.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
So the holidays, they will be here before you know it.
So if you are planning on traveling they reader's diitles
actually broke down. When is the best day to.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Book your flight? So for Thanksgiving, because that's the first.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Holiday coming up, the best time to book is approximately
thirty five days before your date of departure myth, which
means if you plan on traveling on Wednesday before thanks
saving on November twenty sixth, you should book your flights
by October twenty second for Christmas to get the lowest
possible airfare. They're advising roughly fifty one days in advance,
so November fourth for a Christmas even departure. And they
(02:40):
did myth bust. They did bust a myth. It's long
been rumored that Tuesday is like the cheapest day to
fly or like to book airfare, And while that is true,
you're not gonna save much because according to Google, buying
airfare tickets on Tuesdays is only one point three percent
cheaper than on Sunday, which is consistently the most expensive day.
(03:01):
