A particularly controversial change 00:04:09.289 --> 00:04:12.310 is the new trash pickup fee, which starts at 00:04:12.310 --> 00:04:16.050 $32 monthly, adding increased from earlier estimates. 00:04:17.189 --> 00:04:19.959 Parking rates have also doubled. and the city 00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:23.519 plans to implement surge pricing. Additionally, 00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:26.779 the hotel room tax has risen to 14 cents per 00:04:26.779 --> 00:04:29.920 dollar spent, projected to bring in over $82 00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:34.220 million. Cannabis dispensaries will face higher 00:04:34.220 --> 00:04:37.500 taxes, while fees for various city services have 00:04:37.500 --> 00:04:47.129 increased significantly. Now on to sports. New 00:04:47.129 --> 00:04:49.910 York Jets quarterback Justin Fields was carted 00:04:49.910 --> 00:04:53.350 off at training camp after suffering a dislocated 00:04:53.350 --> 00:04:56.970 toe on his right foot. The team stated that he 00:04:56.970 --> 00:05:00.529 is currently day -to -day. Fields dropped to 00:05:00.529 --> 00:05:02.750 the ground following an incomplete pass during 00:05:02.750 --> 00:05:05.490 drills, and although he initially walked to the 00:05:05.490 --> 00:05:08.370 medical tent with a limp, he was later driven 00:05:08.370 --> 00:05:11.910 to the locker room. Head coach Aaron Glenn confirmed 00:05:11.910 --> 00:05:14.870 the toe injury but did not know the severity 00:05:14.870 --> 00:05:19.050 at the time. Veteran Tyrod Taylor serves as the 00:05:19.050 --> 00:05:21.529 backup quarterback, with other options available, 00:05:21.810 --> 00:05:25.029 including Adrian Martinez and Brady Cook, who 00:05:25.029 --> 00:05:32.250 lack NFL experience. Last night in St. Boogie, 00:05:32.430 --> 00:05:36.930 the Padres fell to the Cardinals 9 -7. Despite 00:05:36.930 --> 00:05:40.990 Tatis Jr.'s solo homer and Machedo's two -run 00:05:40.990 --> 00:05:44.290 shot, the Padres couldn't overcome St. Louis' 00:05:44.550 --> 00:05:48.500 early lead. Donovan and Contreras each hit three 00:05:48.500 --> 00:05:52.399 -run homers in the second inning.

Tomorrow 00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:11.120 afternoon, the Friars are back at it for Game 00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:16.009 2 of this four -game series. Nick Cavetta. with 00:06:16.009 --> 00:06:20.209 a 2 .81 earned run average, faces Myles Mikolas, 00:06:20.449 --> 00:06:26.110 who holds a 5 .20. First pitch is at 4 .15 under 00:06:26.110 --> 00:06:29.610 sunny skies with a temperature at 93 degrees. 00:06:31.370 --> 00:06:37.430 In top news, a new analysis projects a 24 % cut 00:06:37.430 --> 00:06:42.970 to Social Security benefits by late 2032. Retirees 00:06:42.970 --> 00:06:45.829 could face significant reductions in just seven 00:06:45.829 --> 00:06:49.430 years due to the Big Beautiful Bill, as reported 00:06:49.430 --> 00:06:52.250 by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. 00:06:52.870 --> 00:06:56.509 This cut may double the poverty rate among America's 00:06:56.509 --> 00:07:00.970 seniors, translating to an $18 ,000 annual benefit 00:07:00.970 --> 00:07:03.810 reduction for a dual -earning couple retiring 00:07:03.810 --> 00:07:08.709 in 2033. Additionally, they might encounter reduced 00:07:08.709 --> 00:07:12.670 health care access from an 11%, cut in Medicare 00:07:12.670 --> 00:07:16.170 hospital payments. While many believe Congress 00:07:16.170 --> 00:07:18.910 would intervene, past actions suggest they may 00:07:18.910 --> 00:07:22.850 wait until the last minute. In business news, 00:07:23.189 --> 00:07:27.170 in a surprising shift, Silicon Valley artificial 00:07:27.170 --> 00:07:30.629 intelligence startups are embracing China's controversial 00:07:30.629 --> 00:07:34.589 996 work schedule, which demands employees work 00:07:34.589 --> 00:07:39.550 from 9 a .m. to 9 p .m., six days a week, totaling 00:07:39.550 --> 00:07:44.439 72 hours. Many U .S. companies are asking prospective 00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:47.000 employees if they are willing to commit to this 00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:49.939 intense schedule, often citing the competitive 00:07:49.939 --> 00:07:53.959 nature of the industry. Adrian Kinnersley, a 00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:56.759 recruitment expert, notes that this expectation 00:07:56.759 --> 00:08:00.860 is becoming increasingly common. While some founders 00:08:00.860 --> 00:08:03.079 argue that the demanding hours are essential, 00:08:03.459 --> 00:08:06.720 others caution against imposing them on all employees, 00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:09.459 raising concerns about compliance with labor 00:08:09.459 --> 00:08:14.470 laws. In crypto movement, Bitcoin is down 0 .5 00:08:14.470 --> 00:08:21.129 % for the week to about $116 ,000. Ethereum is 00:08:21.129 --> 00:08:27.050 down 3 % to just over $3 ,600.

Initially 00:09:36.570 --> 00:09:39.529 seeking a fresh start, Chapman, a software engineer, 00:09:39.870 --> 00:09:43.730 unknowingly became a laptop farmer, hosting computers 00:09:43.730 --> 00:09:46.830 used by North Korean agents to conduct remote 00:09:46.830 --> 00:09:50.970 IT work for unsuspecting U .S. companies. This 00:09:50.970 --> 00:09:54.289 operation reportedly generates an estimated $250 00:09:54.289 --> 00:09:58.509 million to $600 million annually for the North 00:09:58.509 --> 00:10:02.590 Korean regime. Now facing charges including wire 00:10:02.590 --> 00:10:05.120 fraud and money laundering, Chapman reflects 00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:08.559 on her entrapment, stating, I could never forgive 00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:11.320 myself for being part of an organization that 00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:18.480 hurt people.

The band cited Force Mayor, 00:10:39.909 --> 00:10:42.389 noting that the combination of extreme heat, 00:10:42.590 --> 00:10:45.750 unpredictable flooding, tornadoes, hurricanes, 00:10:46.009 --> 00:10:49.149 and massive forest fires posed unacceptable risks 00:10:49.149 --> 00:10:53.289 to audiences, the band, and the crew. The statement 00:10:53.289 --> 00:10:55.970 concluded with a hopeful message, wishing everyone 00:10:55.970 --> 00:10:59.279 peace, love, and happiness. while refunds will 00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:03.279 be processed to original payment methods.
