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.",

Photos of her 4-year-old boy, Julian, line the walls. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 32-year-old single mom juggles two part-time jobs, but she can’t stand to be away from her son. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He likes being around his mom,” said Camacho. “And I’m the only one. ... I’m mom and dad. So, it makes it even worse.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Camacho’s California dream — of raising Julian in a safe, affordable home with family, school and her church nearby — is getting tougher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her rent is going up — way up — from about $600 a month to more than $1,000 a month. She can’t afford that jump. And her landlord is not giving her the chance. Instead, she received a 60-day eviction notice, filling her with fear about the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Exploding rents like Camacho’s affect millions in California, where renters make up nearly half of all households. They make it tougher to sock away money to someday realize the dream of homeownership. And they displace those without the income to keep up. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As rents have increased, so have calls to strengthen rent control laws across the state. Voters this fall will have the chance to weigh in on a potential first step.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A rent control measure backed by tenant advocates qualified last week for the statewide November ballot. If approved, it would repeal the state’s Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act, which blocks rent controls on units built after 1995. The law also stops cities from placing rent caps on condominiums and single family homes. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Repealing the law would allow cities to craft their own, potentially stronger rent control rules. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"520\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https://capradio.carto.com/builder/6ea83fc1-9b29-4be9-8e5b-c5e865e919a3/embed\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Unintended consequences\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while expanding rent control might be good for people like Camacho, it’s not necessarily good for the majority of renters. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Or for future renters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s the argument made by landlords and most economists. They argue that rent control creates the perverse, unintended consequence of making rental housing scarcer and increasing rents for all but a select few. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is a boon to the people that get it,” said Christopher Palmer, a finance professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who has studied rent control. “That comes at the cost of landlords and potentially at the cost of other tenants in the city that are paying higher rents or that are having scarcer housing. Or even future tenants that are going to get into a unit someday at some very high rent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s exactly what happened in San Francisco, according to an \u003ca href=\"http://conference.nber.org/confer/2017/PEf17/Diamond_McQuade_Qian.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">October 2017 study\u003c/a> by economists at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. The report found landlords in that city converted rent-controlled apartments to condominiums and even knocked down and rebuilt entire buildings to escape restrictions after San Francisco expanded its rent control in 1994. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The actions taken in San Francisco are “particularly worrisome from an affordability point of view,” said Rebecca Diamond, one of the study’s authors. “Because not only does this decrease the supply of rentals as a whole in the city, which we find it does; but it replaces it with high-end condos and high-end new construction, which really caters to high-income households’ tastes and likely fueled gentrification in this city.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Diamond’s research, tenants with a rent-controlled apartment saved anywhere from about $2,300 to $6,600 every year. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/capradio.dailygraphics.production/dailygraphics/graphics/rent-control-20180615/child.html\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That savings can make a huge difference in a state where rent has climbed steadily as a share of income. From 1960 to 2013, the percentage of family income needed for rent in California nearly doubled from about 20 percent to 37 percent, according to the Legislative Analyst’s Office. The cost was even higher for young renters, age 18 to 30, who paid 44 percent of their income.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the savings experienced by some also comes at a cost. In San Francisco, the city lost 5 percent of its rental housing after rent control expanded. Overall rents ticked up 5 percent, according to the Stanford study. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Rent control is government regulation,” said Jim Lofgren, a senior vice president with the California Apartment Association, which represents thousands of apartment owners statewide and is a leading opponent of the November ballot measure. “It interferes with the market, and it results in shortages of housing.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘A political choice’ \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dean Preston is executive director of Tenants Together, a statewide advocacy organization, which supports the ballot measure. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He believes the Stanford study is wrong to place the blame on rent control, particularly when city leaders could have outlawed condo conversions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s a political choice, not an intellectual or academic one,” said Preston. “And that’s one of the biggest flaws of that study.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other experts have a more nuanced view. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miriam Zuk, a housing researcher at UC Berkeley, said moderate forms of rent control — such as the existing law in California, which does not apply to new apartments — do not slow down new construction, contrary to claims by some landlords and developers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11676604\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RENT4.jpg-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"New condos are a common sight in Sacramento, where rents grew faster than anywhere in the country in 2017, according to the real estate site Apartment List.

Investors can invest anywhere. It’s a global pool of money. And so they’re not going to invest in places where they don’t feel they can get an adequate return on their investment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘What am I going to do?’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in Sacramento, Marie Camacho received an extension this spring to stay at her apartment with her son until she addresses several medical ailments. After that period, she’ll receive another 60-day notice asking her to leave, fueling more uncertainty, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s always in the back of my mind: What am I going to do?” Marie added. “I don’t want to be homeless.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She doesn’t think she can afford another apartment, and instead plans to search for a room to rent in a house. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, Marie said she’s participated in protests at the state Capitol calling for more renter protections. She hopes her city passes rent control in time to help her family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Right now,” she said, “if you’re poor, you’re stuck in a horrible situation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Chris Nichols is the PolitiFact California reporter for Capital Public Radio in Sacramento.

They make it tougher to sock away money to someday realize the dream of homeownership. And they displace those without the income to keep up. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As rents have increased, so have calls to strengthen rent control laws across the state. Voters this fall will have the chance to weigh in on a potential first step.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A rent control measure backed by tenant advocates qualified last week for the statewide November ballot. If approved, it would repeal the state’s Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act, which blocks rent controls on units built after 1995. The law also stops cities from placing rent caps on condominiums and single family homes. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Repealing the law would allow cities to craft their own, potentially stronger rent control rules. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"520\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https://capradio.carto.com/builder/6ea83fc1-9b29-4be9-8e5b-c5e865e919a3/embed\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Unintended consequences\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while expanding rent control might be good for people like Camacho, it’s not necessarily good for the majority of renters. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Or for future renters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s the argument made by landlords and most economists. They argue that rent control creates the perverse, unintended consequence of making rental housing scarcer and increasing rents for all but a select few. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is a boon to the people that get it,” said Christopher Palmer, a finance professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who has studied rent control. “That comes at the cost of landlords and potentially at the cost of other tenants in the city that are paying higher rents or that are having scarcer housing. Or even future tenants that are going to get into a unit someday at some very high rent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s exactly what happened in San Francisco, according to an \u003ca href=\"http://conference.nber.org/confer/2017/PEf17/Diamond_McQuade_Qian.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">October 2017 study\u003c/a> by economists at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. The report found landlords in that city converted rent-controlled apartments to condominiums and even knocked down and rebuilt entire buildings to escape restrictions after San Francisco expanded its rent control in 1994. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The actions taken in San Francisco are “particularly worrisome from an affordability point of view,” said Rebecca Diamond, one of the study’s authors. “Because not only does this decrease the supply of rentals as a whole in the city, which we find it does; but it replaces it with high-end condos and high-end new construction, which really caters to high-income households’ tastes and likely fueled gentrification in this city.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Diamond’s research, tenants with a rent-controlled apartment saved anywhere from about $2,300 to $6,600 every year. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/capradio.dailygraphics.production/dailygraphics/graphics/rent-control-20180615/child.html\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That savings can make a huge difference in a state where rent has climbed steadily as a share of income. From 1960 to 2013, the percentage of family income needed for rent in California nearly doubled from about 20 percent to 37 percent, according to the Legislative Analyst’s Office. The cost was even higher for young renters, age 18 to 30, who paid 44 percent of their income.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the savings experienced by some also comes at a cost. In San Francisco, the city lost 5 percent of its rental housing after rent control expanded. Overall rents ticked up 5 percent, according to the Stanford study. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Rent control is government regulation,” said Jim Lofgren, a senior vice president with the California Apartment Association, which represents thousands of apartment owners statewide and is a leading opponent of the November ballot measure. “It interferes with the market, and it results in shortages of housing.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘A political choice’ \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dean Preston is executive director of Tenants Together, a statewide advocacy organization, which supports the ballot measure. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He believes the Stanford study is wrong to place the blame on rent control, particularly when city leaders could have outlawed condo conversions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s a political choice, not an intellectual or academic one,” said Preston. “And that’s one of the biggest flaws of that study.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other experts have a more nuanced view. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miriam Zuk, a housing researcher at UC Berkeley, said moderate forms of rent control — such as the existing law in California, which does not apply to new apartments — do not slow down new construction, contrary to claims by some landlords and developers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11676604\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RENT4.jpg-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"New condos are a common sight in Sacramento, where rents grew faster than anywhere in the country in 2017, according to the real estate site Apartment List.

Investors can invest anywhere. It’s a global pool of money. And so they’re not going to invest in places where they don’t feel they can get an adequate return on their investment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘What am I going to do?’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in Sacramento, Marie Camacho received an extension this spring to stay at her apartment with her son until she addresses several medical ailments. After that period, she’ll receive another 60-day notice asking her to leave, fueling more uncertainty, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s always in the back of my mind: What am I going to do?” Marie added. “I don’t want to be homeless.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She doesn’t think she can afford another apartment, and instead plans to search for a room to rent in a house. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, Marie said she’s participated in protests at the state Capitol calling for more renter protections. She hopes her city passes rent control in time to help her family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Right now,” she said, “if you’re poor, you’re stuck in a horrible situation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Chris Nichols is the PolitiFact California reporter for Capital Public Radio in Sacramento.

So much so that the agency, known as CalHFA, has quite literally redefined what it means to be “moderate income” in California — and its definition of “moderate” may be different from yours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fiscal year 2016, only 124 households making over $100,000 obtained a loan through CalHFA, accounting for only 3 percent of the mortgages offered by the agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the first 11 months of fiscal year 2018, nearly 1,000 households making over that amount obtained a loan — accounting for 14 percent of CalHFA’s mortgages. Those that earn over $85,000 now comprise 30 percent of CalHFA borrowers, according to exclusive data provided by the agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Escalating housing costs are a likely culprit.

The decision to increase income limits for first-time homebuyers was approved unanimously by the CalHFA board of directors at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.calhfa.ca.gov/about/events/board-meetings/books/2017/2017-12-12/20171212-package.pdf\">recommendation of its staff\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new income limits for the CalHFA programs exceed six figures in every California county, but the eligibility cutoffs are especially high in parts of the state where housing prices are most astronomical. In San Francisco, a single-person household can make up to $228,300 and be eligible. In San Diego and Sacramento counties, the cutoff is over $150,000. That means state legislators in Sacramento — with salaries just over $100,000 — would qualify for help buying a home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, the cutoff doesn’t change based on the size of a household. An engineer making $100,000 would be eligible for the same programs as a single mother of six.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What would the public policy reason be that I would treat a single person differently than an eight-person household when they’re trying to buy a house?” said Boatman Patterson. She argues that higher-income individuals with savings and better credit profiles would get cheaper mortgages outside the CalHFA program, so the programs won’t be subject to abuse by people who don’t need them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CalHFA is a self-supporting, independent housing agency that funds itself by selling its mortgages to third-party investors, who package the federally backed debt together in a bundle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before switching to that financing model, CalHFA was prohibited by federal rules from relaxing its income restrictions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Saving for a down payment isn’t as easy as it used to be \u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sacramento loan adviser Tanisha Broadway has seen firsthand a shift in the type of client needing help buying a first home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What’s happening in our markets is people make really good money, they just can’t afford to put any money down,” said Broadway, who counsels homebuyers on CalHFA products like down payment and closing cost assistance. “Everything is expensive and people are living check to check a lot of times.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Broadway said that while high rents make it difficult to save enough for even a 3.5 percent down payment — the down payment often required for CalHFA loans — the closing costs can push a home even further out of reach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most popular CalHFA product is a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aspiring homeowners can also qualify for low- or zero-interest loan to finance down payments and closing costs. Those loans don’t require a monthly payment — they are only payable when the homeowner sells or refinances the property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The down payment and closing cost assistance programs can add up to a good amount of money. Broadway said she recently had a client receive almost $30,000 in help for a nearly $400,000 home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A $152,000/year for someone is definitely by no means low income,” said Broadway, referring to the program’s new income-cap for Sacramento. “But for people who make good money, they just can’t save money, this is the best product for them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Broadway works in an area where CalHFA’s loans are increasingly popular.

"content": "\u003cp>On a cold December night last year, a meeting was called in the lobby of my apartment building. Concerned residents gathered to discuss a matter of great import: what to do about the swarms of packages jamming the lobby closet and overflowing into the entryway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unclaimed boxes were an eyesore and a nuisance. Finding the right package was starting to require gymnastic ability. And the boxes kept coming, by the dozens, maybe hundreds. Most of them were from Amazon: brown, with a smile on the side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On that day, the residents of this downtown Washington building decided to tame the chaos. They voted that the lobby required a redesign. The boxes would get their own new package room, behind a password-activated door. This decision would reshape the building's first floor, but they bet it would raise the value of the property. At least the ungainly stacks would be safe in a separate room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is a picture of America, physically adjusting to the success of Amazon.com, the one-stop shop for everything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In just two decades, founder and CEO Jeff Bezos has transformed from a Honda-driving online salesman of books to the world's richest man. He sits atop one of the most influential American companies at the center of an activity that makes up two-thirds of the U.S. economy: consumer spending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Close to two-thirds of Americans now say they've bought something on Amazon, according to a new \u003ca href=\"http://maristpoll.marist.edu/npr-marist-poll-results-june-2018-digital-economy\">NPR/Marist poll\u003c/a>. That is 92 percent of America's online shoppers — which is to say, almost all of them. More than 40 percent say they buy something on Amazon once a month or more often. In fact, when people shop online, they're most likely to start on Amazon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>E-commerce has been in hypergrowth mode since it started.

We should be scrutinized. I think all large institutions should be scrutinized and examined. It's reasonable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What this scrutiny might entail exactly is unclear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Amazon has primarily escaped antitrust scrutiny because antitrust has become so focused on consumer welfare,\" said Lina Khan, director of legal policy at the Open Markets Institute, a think tank.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Khan, who has \u003ca href=\"https://www.yalelawjournal.org/article/amazons-antitrust-paradox\">studied Amazon\u003c/a>, said the government and the courts apply the laws in a way that focuses on whether companies are hurting customers. \u003ca href=\"http://faculty.haas.berkeley.edu/shapiro/antitrustpopulism.pdf\">Some scholars argue\u003c/a> that is still the right approach for Amazon as it has been for other companies historically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in Khan's view, with Amazon, the issue is less about the short-term interests of consumers, but the suppliers, producers, retailers and competitors in all the areas where Amazon is dominant — many of whom now depend on Amazon to reach their own customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think that's the other side of Amazon's power that is often neglected,\" Khan said. \"It shows how if you are amassing market power, antitrust won't necessarily respond to that anymore, unless it's obvious that you're also hurting consumers in some way.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And as far as American consumers go, Amazon's heft has not hurt the brand, which remains one of the most trusted. The NPR/Marist survey found a staggering 67 percent of American online shoppers say they have \"quite a lot\" or \"a great deal\" of trust in Amazon to protect their privacy and personal information, even though the majority of them had little to no such confidence in online retailers in general.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet for all their love of online shopping, Americans still like their stores. When Amazon shoppers were asked whether they would prefer to shop in stores or online, a majority answered: The store.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

Retailers have blamed Amazon for \u003ca href=\"https://dealbook.nytimes.com/2011/02/16/borders-files-for-bankruptcy/\">bankruptcies\u003c/a>, hundreds of store closings, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/03/14/592882488/game-over-for-toys-r-us-chain-going-out-of-business\">historic meltdowns\u003c/a> and the death of America's malls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump has emerged as a powerful detractor, criticizing Amazon's relationship with the \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/04/13/602070410/trump-issues-order-to-review-postal-service-finances-amid-criticism-of-amazon\">U.S. Postal Service\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/story/2018/03/31/trump-amazon-post-office-jeff-bezos-492853\">Bezos' ownership\u003c/a> of \u003cem>The Washington Post. \u003c/em>There has also been talk that the president could decide that Amazon is too big and needs to be broken up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is one of those things where I focus on ... what we can control,\" Bezos said in \u003ca href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/jeff-bezos-interview-axel-springer-ceo-amazon-trump-blue-origin-family-regulation-washington-post-2018-4\">an interview in April\u003c/a> in response to a question about its size. \"Amazon is now a large corporation, and I expect us to be scrutinized. We should be scrutinized. I think all large institutions should be scrutinized and examined. It's reasonable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What this scrutiny might entail exactly is unclear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Amazon has primarily escaped antitrust scrutiny because antitrust has become so focused on consumer welfare,\" said Lina Khan, director of legal policy at the Open Markets Institute, a think tank.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Khan, who has \u003ca href=\"https://www.yalelawjournal.org/article/amazons-antitrust-paradox\">studied Amazon\u003c/a>, said the government and the courts apply the laws in a way that focuses on whether companies are hurting customers. \u003ca href=\"http://faculty.haas.berkeley.edu/shapiro/antitrustpopulism.pdf\">Some scholars argue\u003c/a> that is still the right approach for Amazon as it has been for other companies historically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in Khan's view, with Amazon, the issue is less about the short-term interests of consumers, but the suppliers, producers, retailers and competitors in all the areas where Amazon is dominant — many of whom now depend on Amazon to reach their own customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think that's the other side of Amazon's power that is often neglected,\" Khan said. \"It shows how if you are amassing market power, antitrust won't necessarily respond to that anymore, unless it's obvious that you're also hurting consumers in some way.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And as far as American consumers go, Amazon's heft has not hurt the brand, which remains one of the most trusted. The NPR/Marist survey found a staggering 67 percent of American online shoppers say they have \"quite a lot\" or \"a great deal\" of trust in Amazon to protect their privacy and personal information, even though the majority of them had little to no such confidence in online retailers in general.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
