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.",

But as housing costs soared, his dollars didn’t stretch as far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The money doesn’t even reach a quarter of as far as I used to get,” said Garcia. “We rented one room from family because we could not afford a house or apartment. And we finally got this place, which is very nice. With this food [truck] around it helps us with the rent and our living. It’s good.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I watched as people lined up to get their fresh fruits, veggies, lentils, rice and potatoes. I even shared with them how I prepare my yams and lentils. The mobile grocery truck allows a space for seniors to socialize too, which is a plus for seniors who face isolation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The people here are happy,\" said volunteer Lilian Mira, who was all smiles.

Yahoo was \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnbc.com/2017/06/13/verizon-completes-yahoo-acquisition-marissa-mayer-resigns.html\">officially bought\u003c/a> by Verizon this week. While the Yahoo brand lives on, it will cease to exist as a stand-alone company. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yahoo was founded in 1994 by Jerry Yang and David Filo, who met as graduate students at Stanford. That was 23 years ago, which in internet years is more like a century.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Between 1996 and 2000, Yahoo was it. You hear about Google now, you used to hear about Yahoo,” said Jon Brooks, the 109th employee hired at Yahoo. Today, he edits \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/futureofyou/\">KQED’s science blog\u003c/a>.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Back then, the internet was new to regular folks and it was almost impossible to find websites -- until Yahoo came along. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Our mission was to classify the entire web,” Brooks said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yahoo’s strategy was to compile a list of the world’s most interesting sites. And then organize them into directory of categories, sort of how Craigslist is organized. Unlike Google, which uses computing algorithms to scour the web and assess the quality and relevancy of the sites, Yahoo employed humans to do the task by hand. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'When I think about Yahoo’s place in history, I really think about it as the founding internet company.'\u003cbr>\n\u003ccite>Jennifer Dulski, former Yahoo employee\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The way it worked, people would submit their websites to Yahoo.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“And they would come to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/17/technology/when-yahoo-ruled-the-valley-stories-of-the-original-surfers.html\">surfers\u003c/a>,” Brooks said. “That was on my business card, ‘surfer.’ ”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The web surfer would punch in the url.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Half the time, it was a web designer or someone’s personal \u003ca href=\"https://techcrunch.com/2009/04/23/yahoo-quietly-pulls-the-plug-on-geocities/\">GeoCities\u003c/a> page devoted, you know, to anime,” Brooks said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The surfers, many of them former librarians, would determine whether the site was worthy of being on Yahoo's directory.

Yahoo was \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnbc.com/2017/06/13/verizon-completes-yahoo-acquisition-marissa-mayer-resigns.html\">officially bought\u003c/a> by Verizon this week.

If Michael Ortiz was mischaracterized as a manager, when he in fact wasn’t, then he may be owed back pay — and potentially so could others in his position.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/11/technology/amazon-lawsuit-overtime-pay.html?emc=edit_ca_20170612&nl=california-today&nlid=1759505&te=1&_r=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">According to the New York Times\u003cem>,\u003c/em>\u003c/a> the suit was filed in Contra Costa County Superior Court by former Amazon employee Michael Ortiz, who accuses the company of failing to pay him overtime wages. The law firm that filed the case said over 1,000 Amazon employees in California could be in the same boat: misclassified workers who are collectively missing out on millions of dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ortiz’s job title was “Level-4 Manager.” But in reality, Ortiz said, he wasn’t actually a manager. He said he barely supervised, but instead spent much of his day moving boxes and unjamming conveyor belts. His lawyer, Scott Cole, said that’s not salaried manager work. It’s hourly manual labor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The company has misclassified these managers and is thereby paying them the same amount of money, whether they work 40 hours per week or 80 hours per week,” said Cole. That means no overtime pay, even though Ortiz said he consistently worked more than eight hours per day and 40 hours per week.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘It’s an insidious violation of California’s wage and hour laws.’ \u003ccite>Lawyer Scott Cole\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“It’s an insidious violation of California’s wage and hour laws,” said Cole, who has also said he will seek class-action status for the suit. He hopes to expand the case to all those in California who are in a similar position: so-called managers who move boxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

There are a lot of stories like Baby World in the retail sector right now. That’s the assessment I heard from Chris Thornberg, economist and founder of Beacon Economics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is some shaking out in the industry,” Thornberg said. “Typically, the weaker players are the ones that get diminished. But a shaking out of the industry doesn’t mean the demise of an industry. … That is why economists discuss these sort of shifts as ‘creative destruction.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baby World isn’t the only business in Oakland that is struggling against new consumer behaviors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A couple stores in Oakland have signs up that say, ‘If you’re coming here to kick the tires, get measured, try stuff on, then buy it online, please don’t come in. That’s not the business we want,’ ” said Keira Williams, retail specialist with the Oakland Economic and Workforce Development Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams said that, overall, Oakland’s retail scene is thriving. Retail occupancy rates are high. Oakland’s sales tax revenue actually grew 0.3 percent last year over 2015. She said some stores are finding ways to compete.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11500313\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11500313\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_7005.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_7005.jpg 640w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_7005-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_7005-240x180.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_7005-375x281.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_7005-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Baby World shut down after finding it could no longer compete with online retailers. \u003ccite>(Brian Watt/LQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“You have to adapt. If you have a product that is easy to buy and often at a lower price online, you have to figure out what’s different at your store,” Williams said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are, of course, larger forces that are helping some of Oakland’s retailers thrive. The city is gentrifying, and is right in the middle of a region that’s seeing a real economic boom, which means that people moving in have more money to spend on all kinds of retail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams told me that Oakland has also focused less on building traditional shopping malls — which have really been struggling against online retail — and more on promoting its neighborhood shopping districts, like Rockridge. And those areas are doing particularly well. In commercial corridors in Oakland with an established business improvement district, sales tax revenue grew by 1.6 percent from 2015 to 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Shoppers Speak Up\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We asked KQED readers on Facebook how online shopping has affected their communities and their own habits.

After about a year or two, we went in and saw they had a going out of business sign and I was shocked. Our neighborhood is dense and there are a lot of people with pets. I asked them why they weren’t able to stay open and the response was that too many people purchased their products online. \u003ci>— Meghan, Oakland\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m a knitter and I’ve seen a number of yarn stores go under due to competition from online. \u003ci>— Debbie, Alameda\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our favorite bookstore [Kepler’s] was going to be forced to close by both higher rent and Amazon’s pervasive presence. Citizens who loved to browse for books, attend authors’ presentations, find gifts and pick up their book club books, fought back. They lobbied City Council, showed up at a variety of meetings, and eventually were successful — our bookstore is still in business and going strong. — \u003ci>Tate, Menlo Park\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The biggest downside to online shopping in mine and many other San Francisco neighborhoods is package theft. The only packages that I get delivered at home are either cheap (like less than 10 bucks,) or they are so huge and heavy that thieves would choose other packages first. \u003ci>— Rebecca, San Francisco\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003ci>Are You Still Loyal To Your Local Stores?\u003c/i>\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I sometimes go online to research various products, merchandise, and shops, but I avoid buying things online. I have never bought anything from Amazon or eBay, and I don’t want to. I go to local stores and shops to buy what I need, preferably locally owned stores. \u003ci>— Dave, East Oakland\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We do our best to frequent the local shops — Cliff’s in the Castro, Animal House in the Lower Haight — but there are times when the option is outside our neighborhoods and online shopping, with a guilty conscience, we choose the latter for convenience sake. \u003ci>–Shana, San Francisco\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We have tried to stay loyal to local bookstores, like Green Apple. We also try to go at least monthly to our neighborhood theater rather than stream movies at home because we don’t want that sweet old place to close. \u003ci>— Lauren, San Francisco\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003ci>How Have Your Shopping Habits Changed Due to Online Shopping?\u003c/i>\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a single, full-time working mom to a toddler, the convenience of having baby supplies, diapers, toilet paper, sunscreen, socks, toys, gifts, household goods, toiletries delivered right to my door is a convenience I cannot overlook. I’m sure it actually saves me money as I don’t have to drive anywhere, search for a coveted parking spot … pay the crazy meter prices and pray you don’t get a ticket and ALL the hassles that can come from having to go down to Grand Avenue or Temescal. I’d truly rather click a button and spend that precious time with my toddler. — \u003ci>Tonya, Oakland\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I do most of my shopping online now. I will occasionally even grocery shop online. I live on a fixed income so I don’t do much clothes shopping and when I do, I know the brands I like and the size I need so I can buy everything I need online without trying it on. \u003ci>— Joan, San Jose\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\n",

They would come to the door and order it online because it was going to be put at their doorstep the next day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11500312\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11500312\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/image1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/image1.jpg 640w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/image1-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/image1-240x180.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/image1-375x281.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/image1-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Baby World in Oakland before shuttering. \u003ccite>(Brian Watt/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘Creative Destruction’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not your imagination. There are a lot of stories like Baby World in the retail sector right now. That’s the assessment I heard from Chris Thornberg, economist and founder of Beacon Economics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is some shaking out in the industry,” Thornberg said. “Typically, the weaker players are the ones that get diminished. But a shaking out of the industry doesn’t mean the demise of an industry. … That is why economists discuss these sort of shifts as ‘creative destruction.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baby World isn’t the only business in Oakland that is struggling against new consumer behaviors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A couple stores in Oakland have signs up that say, ‘If you’re coming here to kick the tires, get measured, try stuff on, then buy it online, please don’t come in. That’s not the business we want,’ ” said Keira Williams, retail specialist with the Oakland Economic and Workforce Development Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams said that, overall, Oakland’s retail scene is thriving. Retail occupancy rates are high. Oakland’s sales tax revenue actually grew 0.3 percent last year over 2015. She said some stores are finding ways to compete.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11500313\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11500313\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_7005.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_7005.jpg 640w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_7005-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_7005-240x180.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_7005-375x281.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_7005-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Baby World shut down after finding it could no longer compete with online retailers. \u003ccite>(Brian Watt/LQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“You have to adapt. If you have a product that is easy to buy and often at a lower price online, you have to figure out what’s different at your store,” Williams said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are, of course, larger forces that are helping some of Oakland’s retailers thrive. The city is gentrifying, and is right in the middle of a region that’s seeing a real economic boom, which means that people moving in have more money to spend on all kinds of retail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams told me that Oakland has also focused less on building traditional shopping malls — which have really been struggling against online retail — and more on promoting its neighborhood shopping districts, like Rockridge. And those areas are doing particularly well. In commercial corridors in Oakland with an established business improvement district, sales tax revenue grew by 1.6 percent from 2015 to 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Shoppers Speak Up\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We asked KQED readers on Facebook how online shopping has affected their communities and their own habits.

After about a year or two, we went in and saw they had a going out of business sign and I was shocked. Our neighborhood is dense and there are a lot of people with pets. I asked them why they weren’t able to stay open and the response was that too many people purchased their products online. \u003ci>— Meghan, Oakland\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m a knitter and I’ve seen a number of yarn stores go under due to competition from online. \u003ci>— Debbie, Alameda\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our favorite bookstore [Kepler’s] was going to be forced to close by both higher rent and Amazon’s pervasive presence. Citizens who loved to browse for books, attend authors’ presentations, find gifts and pick up their book club books, fought back. They lobbied City Council, showed up at a variety of meetings, and eventually were successful — our bookstore is still in business and going strong. — \u003ci>Tate, Menlo Park\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The biggest downside to online shopping in mine and many other San Francisco neighborhoods is package theft. The only packages that I get delivered at home are either cheap (like less than 10 bucks,) or they are so huge and heavy that thieves would choose other packages first. \u003ci>— Rebecca, San Francisco\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003ci>Are You Still Loyal To Your Local Stores?\u003c/i>\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I sometimes go online to research various products, merchandise, and shops, but I avoid buying things online. I have never bought anything from Amazon or eBay, and I don’t want to. I go to local stores and shops to buy what I need, preferably locally owned stores. \u003ci>— Dave, East Oakland\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We do our best to frequent the local shops — Cliff’s in the Castro, Animal House in the Lower Haight — but there are times when the option is outside our neighborhoods and online shopping, with a guilty conscience, we choose the latter for convenience sake. \u003ci>–Shana, San Francisco\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We have tried to stay loyal to local bookstores, like Green Apple. We also try to go at least monthly to our neighborhood theater rather than stream movies at home because we don’t want that sweet old place to close. \u003ci>— Lauren, San Francisco\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003ci>How Have Your Shopping Habits Changed Due to Online Shopping?\u003c/i>\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a single, full-time working mom to a toddler, the convenience of having baby supplies, diapers, toilet paper, sunscreen, socks, toys, gifts, household goods, toiletries delivered right to my door is a convenience I cannot overlook. I’m sure it actually saves me money as I don’t have to drive anywhere, search for a coveted parking spot … pay the crazy meter prices and pray you don’t get a ticket and ALL the hassles that can come from having to go down to Grand Avenue or Temescal. I’d truly rather click a button and spend that precious time with my toddler. — \u003ci>Tonya, Oakland\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
