His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"content": "\u003cp>Wells Fargo is back in the spotlight for another scandal. This time, for signing up 490,000 auto-loan customers for insurance they didn't need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This comes less than a year after the bank generated a massive public outcry for opening millions of \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/07/10/536467874/wells-fargo-to-pay-142-million-to-customers-hurt-by-bogus-accounts\">unwanted accounts\u003c/a> for customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Customers who already had car insurance say they had no idea they were being charged for this insurance from Wells Fargo. And the bank acknowledges that tens of thousands of people wound up in default, which affected people's credit scores, and thousands had their cars repossessed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of them was Michael Feifer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One morning in February, he was heading off to his job in Maryland at a company that builds guitars. He walked to the spot where he'd parked his car, but it wasn't there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I called the police,\" he says. \"I was livid. I thought somebody stole my car.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Somebody had improperly made off with Feifer's car. But it wasn't a car thief. It was Wells Fargo bank. The police informed him of this when he called them. \"That's when I found out it was repossessed,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feifer says he had no idea why the bank would repo his car. He says his payments were automatically taken out of his checking account.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I've never missed a payment,\" he says. \"My insurance was current.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/541182948/541197575\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So he called Wells Fargo and found out the bank had put another insurance policy on his car. Lenders do this when a borrower doesn't have insurance. Wells Fargo calls it collateral protection insurance, or CPI.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there's nothing wrong with that, but Wells Fargo imposed this insurance on nearly a half-million people who already had insurance. The bank outlined the scope of the problems and its efforts to resolve them \u003ca href=\"https://newsroom.wf.com/press-release/consumer-lending/wells-fargo-announces-plan-remediate-customers-auto-insurance\">in a statement\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Right after Feifer's car got repo'd, Wells Fargo told him he was marked as delinquent for not paying this insurance — which he didn't want or need or even know about. \"They said, 'Well, you owe $1,500,' \" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wells Fargo is among NPR's financial supporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wells Fargo has been trying to repair its image in the wake of a massive consumer banking scandal. Part of that effort has been to improve the way the bank works with customers when they run into problems or have complaints. Feifer's story suggests the bank still has a ways to go on that front.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"uP21GXOYnVNMbFXpXAsr7NRTNbc9eDvZ\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I showed up at that bank with my bank statements showing all the payments I made for my vehicle and my proof of insurance showing that I've never had a lapse in my insurance,\" he says. \"The people at the bank were like, 'Well, you shouldn't owe anything because it's not your fault.' They were just as confused as I was.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feifer says the branch employees were trying to be helpful. They called up the Wells Fargo department for him that deals with car repossessions to find out what was going on. They kept getting put on hold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We were probably on hold for a total of 2½ hours while I was in there,\" Feifer says. \"I literally spent the whole day\" at the branch. He says the employees were getting frustrated, too. \"They're like, 'This is ridiculous. You shouldn't be on hold for this long.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What Feifer didn't know was that Wells Fargo had already been doing an internal investigation into complaints from lots of customers for the same insurance mix-up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feifer was eventually told to call back several days later. Then he was told there was no record of his prior calls from the branch. He said the person he spoke to on the phone wouldn't let him talk to a supervisor. \"She was rude to me, talking over me. I felt like she wasn't willing to hear anything I had to say,\" Feifer says. He says the Wells Fargo representative just kept telling him he had to pay the money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"MODxKyPoGaKNEetxMlO99Uj0fXPxmGiG\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Feifer was told that the clock was ticking and his car would be auctioned off two weeks from the day it was repossessed. So, after much haggling with the bank, he paid about $600 to get his car back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feifer said he figured this was just some freak mistake. But when he heard this insurance issue affected hundreds of thousands of customers, \"I was blown away,\" he says. \"I wasn't alone in it and I felt like they're preying on everybody, taking people's money. I felt like they're crooks.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wells Fargo says this was not a case of trying to improperly profit at customers' expense, but rather just an embarrassing breakdown in processes and internal controls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We take full responsibility for our failure to appropriately manage the CPI program and are extremely sorry for any harm this caused our customers, who expect and deserve better from us,\" Franklin Codel, head of Wells Fargo Consumer Lending, said in a statement. \"Upon our discovery, we acted swiftly to discontinue the program and immediately develop a plan to make impacted customers whole.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"RZ2Vu2VV8PHzku9ab0JRwMNCOmB6UZSx\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consumer advocates, though, say this latest debacle shows that the bank still has serious and systemic problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What we are seeing here is a colossal failure of management on behalf of Wells Fargo,\" says Ira Rheingold, executive director of the National Association of Consumer Advocates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says that once again vast numbers of customers are getting products they don't want pushed on them without their knowledge. And on top of that, he says, when customers complained, it took too long for Wells Fargo management to figure out the problem and fix it. \"They are not investing the necessary resources for consumers who have problems to service those customers who they talk about in glowing terms,\" Rheingold says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Going forward, Wells Fargo is setting aside about $80 million for remediation and says customers will start getting letters and refund checks later this month. Class-action lawsuits are being filed on behalf of customers. The bank has no comment on those.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a spokesperson says Wells Fargo is very sorry for Feifer's experience and that he will be part of the remediation effort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

Lenders do this when a borrower doesn't have insurance. Wells Fargo calls it collateral protection insurance, or CPI.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there's nothing wrong with that, but Wells Fargo imposed this insurance on nearly a half-million people who already had insurance. The bank outlined the scope of the problems and its efforts to resolve them \u003ca href=\"https://newsroom.wf.com/press-release/consumer-lending/wells-fargo-announces-plan-remediate-customers-auto-insurance\">in a statement\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Right after Feifer's car got repo'd, Wells Fargo told him he was marked as delinquent for not paying this insurance — which he didn't want or need or even know about. \"They said, 'Well, you owe $1,500,' \" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wells Fargo is among NPR's financial supporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wells Fargo has been trying to repair its image in the wake of a massive consumer banking scandal. Part of that effort has been to improve the way the bank works with customers when they run into problems or have complaints. Feifer's story suggests the bank still has a ways to go on that front.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I showed up at that bank with my bank statements showing all the payments I made for my vehicle and my proof of insurance showing that I've never had a lapse in my insurance,\" he says. \"The people at the bank were like, 'Well, you shouldn't owe anything because it's not your fault.' They were just as confused as I was.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feifer says the branch employees were trying to be helpful. They called up the Wells Fargo department for him that deals with car repossessions to find out what was going on. They kept getting put on hold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We were probably on hold for a total of 2½ hours while I was in there,\" Feifer says. \"I literally spent the whole day\" at the branch. He says the employees were getting frustrated, too. \"They're like, 'This is ridiculous. You shouldn't be on hold for this long.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What Feifer didn't know was that Wells Fargo had already been doing an internal investigation into complaints from lots of customers for the same insurance mix-up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feifer was eventually told to call back several days later. Then he was told there was no record of his prior calls from the branch. He said the person he spoke to on the phone wouldn't let him talk to a supervisor. \"She was rude to me, talking over me. I felt like she wasn't willing to hear anything I had to say,\" Feifer says. He says the Wells Fargo representative just kept telling him he had to pay the money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Feifer was told that the clock was ticking and his car would be auctioned off two weeks from the day it was repossessed. So, after much haggling with the bank, he paid about $600 to get his car back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feifer said he figured this was just some freak mistake. But when he heard this insurance issue affected hundreds of thousands of customers, \"I was blown away,\" he says. \"I wasn't alone in it and I felt like they're preying on everybody, taking people's money. I felt like they're crooks.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wells Fargo says this was not a case of trying to improperly profit at customers' expense, but rather just an embarrassing breakdown in processes and internal controls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We take full responsibility for our failure to appropriately manage the CPI program and are extremely sorry for any harm this caused our customers, who expect and deserve better from us,\" Franklin Codel, head of Wells Fargo Consumer Lending, said in a statement. \"Upon our discovery, we acted swiftly to discontinue the program and immediately develop a plan to make impacted customers whole.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consumer advocates, though, say this latest debacle shows that the bank still has serious and systemic problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What we are seeing here is a colossal failure of management on behalf of Wells Fargo,\" says Ira Rheingold, executive director of the National Association of Consumer Advocates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says that once again vast numbers of customers are getting products they don't want pushed on them without their knowledge. And on top of that, he says, when customers complained, it took too long for Wells Fargo management to figure out the problem and fix it. \"They are not investing the necessary resources for consumers who have problems to service those customers who they talk about in glowing terms,\" Rheingold says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Going forward, Wells Fargo is setting aside about $80 million for remediation and says customers will start getting letters and refund checks later this month. Class-action lawsuits are being filed on behalf of customers. The bank has no comment on those.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"headTitle": "State of Health | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>More than half of the Californians who have an individual health insurance policy from Anthem Blue Cross will have to shop for a new plan next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company is pulling out of the individual market in all but three regions of the state, abandoning 153,000 of its customers. Of those, 30,000 will be left with just one plan on offer through Covered California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the former Anthem customers who do have a choice of plans will be able to find reasonable alternatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In a number of areas where consumers in Anthem will now be forced to shop, they will find much more cost-competitive options,” said Peter Lee, executive director of Covered California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Statewide, premium rates will go up an average 12.5 percent in 2018 in the state’s Affordable Care Act marketplace. But in San Francisco, the average premium increase will be just 6.6 percent. In Fresno, Kings, and Madera counties, the average increase will be 4.7 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anthem customers can keep their plan if they live in the far rural northern part of the state, parts of the Central Valley, and Santa Clara County. But in areas where Anthem is one of only two plans offered for sale – like Modoc, Lassen, and Siskiyou counties in the far north – customers will pay as much as 54 percent more for their Anthem plan. The alternative, Blue Shield, will charge up to 24 percent more next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, Anthem said its price increases and partial departure from the market are due largely to federal changes and uncertainty around the future of the Affordable Care Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Planning and pricing for ACA-compliant health plans has become increasingly difficult,” it said, because of “continual changes in federal operations, rules and guidance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The overall lack of predictability “simply does not provide a sustainable path forward to providing affordable plan choices for all California consumers,” the company said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uncertainty also affected the prices the remaining marketplace insurers plan to charge next year. Of the overall 12.5 percent average increase, 3 percent is due to uncertainty alone, Lee said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee warned that some plans will see an additional 12 percent surcharge, on top of the 12.5 percent average increase, if President Trump makes good on his threat to stop so-called \"Cost-Sharing Reduction\" payments to insurers. These CSR payments help insurers provide discounts on co-pays and deductibles for low-income consumers, as they are required to do by the Affordable Care Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even if the Trump administration withdraws the money, and insurers add the surcharge to premiums, Lee says most Californians won’t feel it, because the federal subsidy will also go up in kind, covering most of the premium increase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We do not want to implement this workaround,” Lee said. “It will cause unnecessary confusion, and ultimately cost the federal government billions of dollars more than they would have spent by [just] making the CSR payments directly to health plans.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Covered California submitted \u003ca href=\"http://www.coveredca.com/news/pdfs/CoveredCA_CL_2018_Rates-HHSLetter.pdf\">a letter\u003c/a> to federal health officials, saying there's an urgent need to get clarity on the future of the cost-sharing reduction payments. California will have to decide by the end of August whether to add the surcharge to monthly premiums or not. After that, it cannot make changes to \u003ca href=\"http://www.coveredca.com/news/PDFs/CoveredCA_2018_Plans_and_Rates_8-1-2017.pdf\">2018 rates\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm expecting to be dealing with a lot of angry and frustrated consumers as we head into 2018 open enrollment,\" said Jonathan Greer, a health insurance broker with Rockridge Health Benefits in Oakland. \"Unfortunately, many consumers will experience sticker shock this year, especially if the Trump Administration stops making the cost-sharing payments.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Insurers are also worried that the federal government will make changes to the Affordable Care Act in the middle of next year, after rates are locked in. In addition to the CSR payments, they are concerned the IRS will stop enforcing the individual mandate, the ACA's requirement that almost all Americans buy insurance. The mandate helps balance insurance \"risk pools\" by ensuring young, healthy people also buy policies, to help cover the costs of care for the sick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Covered California had to fend off requests for premium increases well beyond the 12.5 percent average because of these fears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the things that many of the health plans said to us is ‘What if policies change mid-year? Our actuaries are saying, ‘Be really conservative and bump rates a boatload,’” Peter Lee said, recalling the tensions underlying the negotiations. “We said, ‘Take a deep breath. Before you bump up rates a boatload, instead, what can we do to help you plan over the long term?’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency convinced insurers to keep the increases in check by drafting a plan that would allow them to make up for any 2018 losses in subsequent years.

Of those, 30,000 will be left with just one plan on offer through Covered California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the former Anthem customers who do have a choice of plans will be able to find reasonable alternatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In a number of areas where consumers in Anthem will now be forced to shop, they will find much more cost-competitive options,” said Peter Lee, executive director of Covered California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Statewide, premium rates will go up an average 12.5 percent in 2018 in the state’s Affordable Care Act marketplace.

But in areas where Anthem is one of only two plans offered for sale – like Modoc, Lassen, and Siskiyou counties in the far north – customers will pay as much as 54 percent more for their Anthem plan. The alternative, Blue Shield, will charge up to 24 percent more next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, Anthem said its price increases and partial departure from the market are due largely to federal changes and uncertainty around the future of the Affordable Care Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Planning and pricing for ACA-compliant health plans has become increasingly difficult,” it said, because of “continual changes in federal operations, rules and guidance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The overall lack of predictability “simply does not provide a sustainable path forward to providing affordable plan choices for all California consumers,” the company said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uncertainty also affected the prices the remaining marketplace insurers plan to charge next year. Of the overall 12.5 percent average increase, 3 percent is due to uncertainty alone, Lee said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee warned that some plans will see an additional 12 percent surcharge, on top of the 12.5 percent average increase, if President Trump makes good on his threat to stop so-called \"Cost-Sharing Reduction\" payments to insurers. These CSR payments help insurers provide discounts on co-pays and deductibles for low-income consumers, as they are required to do by the Affordable Care Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even if the Trump administration withdraws the money, and insurers add the surcharge to premiums, Lee says most Californians won’t feel it, because the federal subsidy will also go up in kind, covering most of the premium increase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We do not want to implement this workaround,” Lee said. “It will cause unnecessary confusion, and ultimately cost the federal government billions of dollars more than they would have spent by [just] making the CSR payments directly to health plans.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Covered California submitted \u003ca href=\"http://www.coveredca.com/news/pdfs/CoveredCA_CL_2018_Rates-HHSLetter.pdf\">a letter\u003c/a> to federal health officials, saying there's an urgent need to get clarity on the future of the cost-sharing reduction payments. California will have to decide by the end of August whether to add the surcharge to monthly premiums or not. After that, it cannot make changes to \u003ca href=\"http://www.coveredca.com/news/PDFs/CoveredCA_2018_Plans_and_Rates_8-1-2017.pdf\">2018 rates\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm expecting to be dealing with a lot of angry and frustrated consumers as we head into 2018 open enrollment,\" said Jonathan Greer, a health insurance broker with Rockridge Health Benefits in Oakland. \"Unfortunately, many consumers will experience sticker shock this year, especially if the Trump Administration stops making the cost-sharing payments.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Insurers are also worried that the federal government will make changes to the Affordable Care Act in the middle of next year, after rates are locked in. In addition to the CSR payments, they are concerned the IRS will stop enforcing the individual mandate, the ACA's requirement that almost all Americans buy insurance. The mandate helps balance insurance \"risk pools\" by ensuring young, healthy people also buy policies, to help cover the costs of care for the sick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Covered California had to fend off requests for premium increases well beyond the 12.5 percent average because of these fears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the things that many of the health plans said to us is ‘What if policies change mid-year? Our actuaries are saying, ‘Be really conservative and bump rates a boatload,’” Peter Lee said, recalling the tensions underlying the negotiations. “We said, ‘Take a deep breath. Before you bump up rates a boatload, instead, what can we do to help you plan over the long term?’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency convinced insurers to keep the increases in check by drafting a plan that would allow them to make up for any 2018 losses in subsequent years. This backup plan, which still has to be approved by state regulators, wouldn’t cost the state money, Lee said. But it would allow insurers to shift costs internally so they could replenish the coffers in later years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Lee predicts the state probably won’t have to implement the backup plan.

"content": "\u003cp>You may not be aware that Ballast Point Brewing Company, famed for its Sculpin IPA and fruity renditions of the same beer, was bought in 2015 for $1 billion by Constellation Brands,\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>the company that owns Corona. Or that Lagunitas Brewing Company is now owned fully by Heineken or that Goose Island has since 2011 been a brand of Anheuser-Busch InBev, the global brewing giant that owns Budweiser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These are just three of more than a dozen of the country's most popular and beloved craft breweries that have been purchased by global beverage companies in the past seven years. Indeed, beer brands recently purchased by larger companies now almost dominate many supermarket or liquor store shelves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It isn't clear how many consumers know this is happening or whether they would care if they did. It also remains to be seen how these transactions will affect how the newly acquired brands taste.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But one thing is clear to craft beer brewers, lovers and lobbyists: They feel they're under attack by what they bitterly call \"Big Beer\" or \"Big Alcohol.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bob Pease, CEO and president of the Brewers Association, a Boulder, Colo., trade group representing independent craft brewers, says the incursion began six or seven years ago, after large companies, eyeing craft beer's growing market share, tried but essentially failed at brewing their own imitations of craft beer — like the short-lived \u003ca href=\"https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/budweiser-american-ale/90235/\">Budweiser American Ale\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So in 2011, AB InBev hit on this strategy of just buying the breweries that had the kind of mojo or street cred that they weren't nimble enough to replicate in their own breweries,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, AB InBev alone owns 10 brands that until a few years ago were independently owned craft breweries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The way Pease sees it, this system of taking ownership of craft brands has allowed larger beverage companies to strategically pressure beer distributors and retailers into dropping independently owned beers in favor of their own newly acquired brands. As a result, Pease says, small craft brands are being squeezed out of warehouses, delivery vans and, ultimately, supermarkets as shelves become increasingly stacked with what detractors like to call \"crafty\" beer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You'll find Goose Island on tap practically everywhere across the country, and you'll say, 'I didn't know they were that popular,' and they aren't,\" Pease says. \"The distributors are just pushing these brands out there.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Felipe Szpigel — president of The High End, a business unit of Anheuser-Busch — was unavailable to speak by phone. But in an email, he says the United States \"is the most competitive beer market in the world\" and he indicates that the market is a fair one. \u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are partners with just 10 craft breweries, and work with the entire industry to encourage growth and choice,\" he writes. \"The verdict on each craft beer will be made by consumers. No amount of distribution or promotion will keep substandard beers on the shelf.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Christian Kazakoff, brewer at Iron Springs Pub and Brewery in Fairfax, Calif., says the changing landscape of craft brewery ownership has made it harder for breweries like his to get their beer into retail spaces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We really have to hustle now,\" Kazakoff says. He says some small breweries have resorted to serving their beer strictly at their own brewpubs because competition on the retail market has become so stacked against companies without strong market leverage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To Tom McCormick, executive director of the California Craft Brewers Association, a trade group that represents more than 500 of California's 800-plus craft breweries, it's obvious that small craft breweries are taking a hit as Big Beer knocks them off shelves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Craft breweries used to have to compete among themselves,\" McCormick says. \"Now, big breweries are taking this if-you-can't-beat-them-buy-them approach, and all of a sudden, retailers are carrying 10 Barrel, Elysian, Goose Island and all the other brands now owned by AB InBev, when there are plenty of other good brands made by small local breweries.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the consumer's perspective, all of this may not matter. For instance, even in the wake of Heineken's total buyout of Lagunitas, McCormick suspects the quality of the beer produced by Lagunitas' breweries (one in Chicago, one in Petaluma, Calif.) will remain the same, because — according to the brand's founder, Tony Magee — the beer will continue to be made by the same staff on the same equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"With Lagunitas, I don't think the new ownership is going to change anything,\" McCormick says. We should note that Lagunitas is an NPR sponsor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he is less confident that the quality of other former craft brands will be sustained under new management.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In the case of Anheuser-Busch, they're now brewing some of those brands they've bought in their own facilities, and I think that will change how the beer tastes,\" he says. \"With Ballast Point, some of those recipes, because they have so many hops, are going to be very difficult to produce at the larger scales they've projected.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Szpigel, at Anheuser-Busch, promises that the company's quality-assurance processes will keep the flavor and consistency the same in acquired brands now being brewed on AB InBev equipment, like Elysian and Goose Island.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Representatives from Constellation Brands said they were unavailable to comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_119500\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/ba17_independentseal_packaging-5-_custom-39a09192e6a54b329c3d88cad4a8547be0f2ef8b.jpg\" alt=\"The Brewers Association recently introduced this "independent craft brewer seal."

Or that Lagunitas Brewing Company is now owned fully by Heineken or that Goose Island has since 2011 been a brand of Anheuser-Busch InBev, the global brewing giant that owns Budweiser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These are just three of more than a dozen of the country's most popular and beloved craft breweries that have been purchased by global beverage companies in the past seven years. Indeed, beer brands recently purchased by larger companies now almost dominate many supermarket or liquor store shelves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It isn't clear how many consumers know this is happening or whether they would care if they did. It also remains to be seen how these transactions will affect how the newly acquired brands taste.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But one thing is clear to craft beer brewers, lovers and lobbyists: They feel they're under attack by what they bitterly call \"Big Beer\" or \"Big Alcohol.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bob Pease, CEO and president of the Brewers Association, a Boulder, Colo., trade group representing independent craft brewers, says the incursion began six or seven years ago, after large companies, eyeing craft beer's growing market share, tried but essentially failed at brewing their own imitations of craft beer — like the short-lived \u003ca href=\"https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/budweiser-american-ale/90235/\">Budweiser American Ale\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

As a result, Pease says, small craft brands are being squeezed out of warehouses, delivery vans and, ultimately, supermarkets as shelves become increasingly stacked with what detractors like to call \"crafty\" beer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You'll find Goose Island on tap practically everywhere across the country, and you'll say, 'I didn't know they were that popular,' and they aren't,\" Pease says. \"The distributors are just pushing these brands out there.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Felipe Szpigel — president of The High End, a business unit of Anheuser-Busch — was unavailable to speak by phone. But in an email, he says the United States \"is the most competitive beer market in the world\" and he indicates that the market is a fair one. \u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are partners with just 10 craft breweries, and work with the entire industry to encourage growth and choice,\" he writes. \"The verdict on each craft beer will be made by consumers. No amount of distribution or promotion will keep substandard beers on the shelf.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Christian Kazakoff, brewer at Iron Springs Pub and Brewery in Fairfax, Calif., says the changing landscape of craft brewery ownership has made it harder for breweries like his to get their beer into retail spaces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We really have to hustle now,\" Kazakoff says. He says some small breweries have resorted to serving their beer strictly at their own brewpubs because competition on the retail market has become so stacked against companies without strong market leverage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To Tom McCormick, executive director of the California Craft Brewers Association, a trade group that represents more than 500 of California's 800-plus craft breweries, it's obvious that small craft breweries are taking a hit as Big Beer knocks them off shelves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Craft breweries used to have to compete among themselves,\" McCormick says. \"Now, big breweries are taking this if-you-can't-beat-them-buy-them approach, and all of a sudden, retailers are carrying 10 Barrel, Elysian, Goose Island and all the other brands now owned by AB InBev, when there are plenty of other good brands made by small local breweries.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the consumer's perspective, all of this may not matter. For instance, even in the wake of Heineken's total buyout of Lagunitas, McCormick suspects the quality of the beer produced by Lagunitas' breweries (one in Chicago, one in Petaluma, Calif.) will remain the same, because — according to the brand's founder, Tony Magee — the beer will continue to be made by the same staff on the same equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"With Lagunitas, I don't think the new ownership is going to change anything,\" McCormick says. We should note that Lagunitas is an NPR sponsor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he is less confident that the quality of other former craft brands will be sustained under new management.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In the case of Anheuser-Busch, they're now brewing some of those brands they've bought in their own facilities, and I think that will change how the beer tastes,\" he says. \"With Ballast Point, some of those recipes, because they have so many hops, are going to be very difficult to produce at the larger scales they've projected.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Szpigel, at Anheuser-Busch, promises that the company's quality-assurance processes will keep the flavor and consistency the same in acquired brands now being brewed on AB InBev equipment, like Elysian and Goose Island.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Representatives from Constellation Brands said they were unavailable to comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_119500\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/07/ba17_independentseal_packaging-5-_custom-39a09192e6a54b329c3d88cad4a8547be0f2ef8b.jpg\" alt=\"The Brewers Association recently introduced this "independent craft brewer seal."

The agency says it will spend around $100 million a year in contracts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are at least 10 companies in Southern California making and selling battery electric buses. The biggest is the Chinese company \u003ca href=\"http://www.byd.com/usa/bus/\">BYD\u003c/a>, which has a factory in Lancaster employing over 500 people, and \u003ca href=\"http://ebus.com/\">Ebus\u003c/a> in Downey.

The biggest is the Chinese company \u003ca href=\"http://www.byd.com/usa/bus/\">BYD\u003c/a>, which has a factory in Lancaster employing over 500 people, and \u003ca href=\"http://ebus.com/\">Ebus\u003c/a> in Downey.
