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.",

What will cause it? How big? How long? I don’t have that. We’ve been in a recovery\u003ca href=\"http://newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/ucla-anderson-forecast-economic-slowdown-on-horizon\"> for a long time\u003c/a>, we’re in uncharted territory, and it would be quite surprising if there wasn’t a slowdown in the economy at some time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>What can the state do to gird itself against an economic downturn?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s two schools of thought. One would be to make sure your revenues are stable and predictable in the long term, so you don’t have the highs too high and the lows too low.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That \u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/Publications/Report/3703\">isn’t the course we’ve taken\u003c/a>. The course we’ve taken now is we have a volatile revenue stream, but we try to hedge our bets by socking away savings. It’s the person that doesn’t work for a salary or works piecework or consulting and has a lumpy paycheck.You have to have money in reserve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>So what is Newsom doing in this budget for saving while the money is pouring in?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, he’s continuing something that Gov. Jerry Brown had done, which is to focus on \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/publication/californias-state-budget/\">setting money \u003c/a>aside. Part of that is constitutionally required, but what’s interesting is we’re kind of going over and above that. I’ll spare the weeds, but we’re saving more than we have to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other piece is the spending that’s being done. A big chunk of it is being put under the banner of \u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/Publications/Report/3916#The_Big_Picture\">one-time spending\u003c/a>. And what that really means is that you’re not commiting someone’s job or salary in the long term, where after year one you’re not committing to year two or year three or four.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>What about pensions?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s continuing to pay down some of those unfunded retirement liabilities — payments to retirement plans for state and local employees. That’s kind of like putting money in your 401k. You do it today; your benefits multiply over time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>So, grading from A to F, how does this budget fare in preparing us for a recession?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>A:\u003c/b> I hate to give grades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>You were a professor.\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>A: \u003c/b>That was the worst part of the job.

It’s just a question of when?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a question of when. This area will flood for a day or two, and that will happen more and more frequently.

But is that going to be the case decades from now?\u003c/b>\u003cb>\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oh, it’s inevitable that vast parts of the coastline, which is now the most expensive real estate in the world,\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/california-response-rising-seas/\">will be written off\u003c/a> and have to be abandoned. That may be a more difficult crisis to deal with than the actual physical problems, because of the economic impact of that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>So what can the state actively do to protect against sea level rise?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What the state can actively do is begin to plan for this inevitable future now. And that means sorting out what areas we can protect, how we can protect them, are we going to try to use wetlands, do we want to build higher levees? Or are there areas where we decide to pull back, perhaps prohibit new development and remove existing or older development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>What did you make of Newsom’s budget?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the money in the budget to deal with climate change is really addressing mitigation, which is reducing greenhouse gases to slow the impact of climate change. The other side is adaptation, which is to acknowledge no matter how effective we are at reducing greenhouse gases, we are still going to have sea level rise in the future. Relatively speaking, there’s not much money in the governor’s budget for [adaptation] right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>How would you grade his first budget on planning for a future with sea level rise?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It would be difficult to grade somebody like the governor who has been in office now for a [month] on a long-term issue like this. It’s like giving him a grade on a final exam when he just walked in the door to class for the first time.

We just can project certain developments and see what can happen. My personal view is we won’t see much in the next two to three years. We need to start worrying about five years from now, and then again probably by 2040. By 2050, if we haven’t solved the problems, then we’re in really bad shape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Can you give us some examples?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you think of Southern California, once self-driving trucks come on the road, [labor] replacement can happen quite quickly. All the trucks that we see on the roads right now pretty much have what they need for self-driving except for the [artificial] intelligence. You need a device a little bit smarter than a smartphone, and then you can send a truck from an on-ramp all the way across the country to an off-ramp. And that can have a major effect on employment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>What about the argument that automation and technological advances in the past have typically produced more jobs than they’ve replaced. In the end, isn’t it a net positive?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, historically, technological progress has been great at creating jobs. But there’s always been winners and losers. During the Industrial Revolution, some researchers estimate we saw more than 60 years of stagnant real wages. We’ve never had it historically that so many different technologies matured at the same time, and the speed of that replacement is also completely unprecedented.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>So what can Newsom’s budget do about a change that massive?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One pillar that I think is very important is education. A second one is entrepreneurship. And a third will be creating resilience and providing adjustment assistance for people who will be replaced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>What would you specifically like to see with workforce development?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are possibilities for strategic use of workforce development funds. So, for example, truck drivers: If you’re a truck driver, you know the writing’s on the wall. Why don’t you start something with evening education classes or things along those lines that would be more future-proof?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>So more workforce development money focused on retraining. What about education?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s a few really good things in the budget that point in the direction of the future, although they might not have been implemented with automation in mind. One is an increased focus on 4-year-olds from low-income families, and also a focus on transparency and accountability for school districts. We already had this large effect of digitalization on the income distribution by strengthening the top end and the bottom end.

Gavin Newsom visited Singularity University multiple times over the past decade (a spokesman for Neseom says he was always an invited guide and neither he nor the state ever paid tuition). Among his study endeavors: a seminar on 3D printing in space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Newsom, for the most part, drank the Tang, recalls Pascal Finette, Singularity’s Chair of Entrepreneurship and Open Innovation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To his credit, I think he spends a good amount of time to really educate himself on the future and to really understand what the future looks like,” said Finette.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, Newsom delivers his first State of the State speech from the Capitol. It comes just a few weeks after unveiling a $200 billion budget proposal that serves as the financial roadmap to the state he envisions. Newsom aims to do a lot of forward-looking things in the next 12 months: build homeless shelters, acquire firefighting airplanes, even (gasp) let drivers pay with credit cards at the DMV.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Odds are, Newsom’s speech will focus largely on his ambitious plans to restore the \u003ca href=\"http://www.ebudget.ca.gov/2019-20/pdf/BudgetSummary/GovernorsMessage.pdf\">California Dream\u003c/a>. But how does all that money prepare California for that dream — not just next year, but five, 15, 30 years from now?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The following are excerpts from our discussions with three experts about the issues likely to confront California at those various benchmarks on the horizon. We asked each expert what kept him up at night when contemplating that year—and how Newsom’s budget does or does not address those concerns.

What will cause it? How big? How long? I don’t have that. We’ve been in a recovery\u003ca href=\"http://newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/ucla-anderson-forecast-economic-slowdown-on-horizon\"> for a long time\u003c/a>, we’re in uncharted territory, and it would be quite surprising if there wasn’t a slowdown in the economy at some time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>What can the state do to gird itself against an economic downturn?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s two schools of thought. One would be to make sure your revenues are stable and predictable in the long term, so you don’t have the highs too high and the lows too low.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That \u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/Publications/Report/3703\">isn’t the course we’ve taken\u003c/a>. The course we’ve taken now is we have a volatile revenue stream, but we try to hedge our bets by socking away savings. It’s the person that doesn’t work for a salary or works piecework or consulting and has a lumpy paycheck.You have to have money in reserve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>So what is Newsom doing in this budget for saving while the money is pouring in?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, he’s continuing something that Gov. Jerry Brown had done, which is to focus on \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/publication/californias-state-budget/\">setting money \u003c/a>aside. Part of that is constitutionally required, but what’s interesting is we’re kind of going over and above that. I’ll spare the weeds, but we’re saving more than we have to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other piece is the spending that’s being done. A big chunk of it is being put under the banner of \u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/Publications/Report/3916#The_Big_Picture\">one-time spending\u003c/a>. And what that really means is that you’re not commiting someone’s job or salary in the long term, where after year one you’re not committing to year two or year three or four.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>What about pensions?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s continuing to pay down some of those unfunded retirement liabilities — payments to retirement plans for state and local employees. That’s kind of like putting money in your 401k. You do it today; your benefits multiply over time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>So, grading from A to F, how does this budget fare in preparing us for a recession?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>A:\u003c/b> I hate to give grades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>You were a professor.\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>A: \u003c/b>That was the worst part of the job.

I say at some unknown point because we know \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/rising-seas-climate-change-what-you-need-to-know/\">sea level is rising\u003c/a>, and we know it will rise at an accelerated rate, but we just don’t know how fast that will happen. It depends on how effective we as a species are at reducing the emissions and carbon dioxide we put into the air.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>It will happen, though? It’s just a question of when?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a question of when. This area will flood for a day or two, and that will happen more and more frequently. Eventually the new reality will be what is now an extreme event that occurs every 10, 15, 20 years will occur every 10,15 or 20 days and then eventually all the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>California’s coastline has almost always been considered an economic asset. But is that going to be the case decades from now?\u003c/b>\u003cb>\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oh, it’s inevitable that vast parts of the coastline, which is now the most expensive real estate in the world,\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/california-response-rising-seas/\">will be written off\u003c/a> and have to be abandoned. That may be a more difficult crisis to deal with than the actual physical problems, because of the economic impact of that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>So what can the state actively do to protect against sea level rise?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What the state can actively do is begin to plan for this inevitable future now. And that means sorting out what areas we can protect, how we can protect them, are we going to try to use wetlands, do we want to build higher levees? Or are there areas where we decide to pull back, perhaps prohibit new development and remove existing or older development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>What did you make of Newsom’s budget?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the money in the budget to deal with climate change is really addressing mitigation, which is reducing greenhouse gases to slow the impact of climate change. The other side is adaptation, which is to acknowledge no matter how effective we are at reducing greenhouse gases, we are still going to have sea level rise in the future. Relatively speaking, there’s not much money in the governor’s budget for [adaptation] right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>How would you grade his first budget on planning for a future with sea level rise?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It would be difficult to grade somebody like the governor who has been in office now for a [month] on a long-term issue like this. It’s like giving him a grade on a final exam when he just walked in the door to class for the first time. But I have worked with Newsom when he was mayor of San Francisco, and he could turn around and teach the course.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>If Facebook goes underwater, is that necessarily a bad thing?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(Prolonged Pause)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11148548\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/Robot4-1-e1477610971173.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11148548\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/Robot4-1-e1477610971173.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Norma, Amelia and Piper, now greeting travelers in San Jose, are the first robots to be deployed at a U.S. airport. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Mineta San Jose International)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Year: 2050\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cb>Issue: Robots and Automation\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cb>Expert: Johannes Moenius, professor of global business at University of Redlands\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Is there a date in the future that’s a tipping point for automation?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this point, we don’t really know dates. We just can project certain developments and see what can happen. My personal view is we won’t see much in the next two to three years. We need to start worrying about five years from now, and then again probably by 2040. By 2050, if we haven’t solved the problems, then we’re in really bad shape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Can you give us some examples?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you think of Southern California, once self-driving trucks come on the road, [labor] replacement can happen quite quickly. All the trucks that we see on the roads right now pretty much have what they need for self-driving except for the [artificial] intelligence. You need a device a little bit smarter than a smartphone, and then you can send a truck from an on-ramp all the way across the country to an off-ramp. And that can have a major effect on employment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>What about the argument that automation and technological advances in the past have typically produced more jobs than they’ve replaced. In the end, isn’t it a net positive?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, historically, technological progress has been great at creating jobs. But there’s always been winners and losers. During the Industrial Revolution, some researchers estimate we saw more than 60 years of stagnant real wages. We’ve never had it historically that so many different technologies matured at the same time, and the speed of that replacement is also completely unprecedented.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>So what can Newsom’s budget do about a change that massive?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One pillar that I think is very important is education. A second one is entrepreneurship. And a third will be creating resilience and providing adjustment assistance for people who will be replaced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>What would you specifically like to see with workforce development?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are possibilities for strategic use of workforce development funds. So, for example, truck drivers: If you’re a truck driver, you know the writing’s on the wall. Why don’t you start something with evening education classes or things along those lines that would be more future-proof?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>So more workforce development money focused on retraining. What about education?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s a few really good things in the budget that point in the direction of the future, although they might not have been implemented with automation in mind. One is an increased focus on 4-year-olds from low-income families, and also a focus on transparency and accountability for school districts. We already had this large effect of digitalization on the income distribution by strengthening the top end and the bottom end. If we’re not starting to prepare low-income families and helping them attain certain levels of education, it’s going to be quite critical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/series/californiadream/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The California Dream series\u003c/a> is a statewide media collaboration of CALmatters, KPBS, KPCC, KQED and Capital Public Radio with support from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the James Irvine Foundation and the College Futures Foundation.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The lake has become saltier as it’s shrunk, killing off nearly every species of fish that migratory birds rely on for food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There's still some tilapia out there, even those are not reproductive anymore,” Krantz said. “So a couple more years, there will be no fish in the sea.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/trulyca/57/plagues-and-pleasures-on-the-salton-sea\">Video: Plagues and Pleasures on the Salton Sea\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/trulyca/57/plagues-and-pleasures-on-the-salton-sea\">\u003cimg>\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>And the lake’s shrinking isn’t just bad for birds — it’s also bad for humans. As the lake shrinks and more lakebed is exposed, the salts that were in the water go into the air. They’re then breathed in by humans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These are super-fine silts, two millionths of a meter, two microns in size, I can get a hundred in the width of a human hair,” Krantz said. “If you breathe these sediments into these lungs you can't cough them out, they're too small — they'll profuse directly through your lung tissue into your bloodstream, carrying with them the minerals that are attached to them ... arsenic, selenium, cadmium, bad stuff.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It could lead to a public health disaster as more of the lakebed is exposed. The bird die-off is a sign that the state needs to address the issue of the Salton Sea immediately, according to Jones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We knew something like this could happen, and it's a call to action to the state to get the habitats built, that they are in the process of designing at the Salton Sea,” Jones said. “We need to get the word out that both for the health of the birds and for the health of the people in the region, we need to do something about the Salton Sea as quickly as possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",
