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.",

"headTitle": "The California Report | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>Uber will go public on Friday in a highly anticipated initial public offering that will be the largest since 2014 — and one of the biggest in U.S. history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After speculation that the ride-hailing company could be valued at as high as $120 billion, Uber is now targeting a valuation of $80 billion to $90 billion. At the same time, it has never made a profit — and has instead been burning through cash at a prodigious rate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"More Uber IPO coverage\" tag=\"ipo\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber has grown massively in the decade since its founding and has footprints around the world. Its wild success has made Uber a household name — not just synonymous with ride-hailing but shorthand for any app that offers a service on demand: \"Uber, but for laundry,\" \"Uber, but for dog-walking.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And these days, Uber itself is the Uber for a lot more than ride-hailing. Uber Eats is Uber, but for \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2018/10/23/658436657/ubers-online-only-restaurants-the-future-or-the-end-of-dining-out\">takeout\u003c/a>. Uber Freight is Uber, but for shipping. Jump is Uber, but for electric bikes and scooters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a company that's fighting a lot of battles on a lot of fronts,\" says Tom White, an analyst at D.A. Davidson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It has been expensive for Uber to expand into all those new markets. And the company has burned through money while keeping rates low to compete with its numerous rivals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber has mastered the art of rapid growth. But how can it pivot to become a profitable company?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's the $100 billion question,\" says Ygal Arounian, an equity analyst at Wedbush Securities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Uber is losing money, and you have to have a little bit of a vision to see them taking that revenue and start turning it into profit,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Arounian and White are optimistic about Uber's chances — eventually.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber has sheer scale on its side, giving it a balance sheet that will let it wait out competitors. And once rivals have dropped out or consolidated, Uber can stop spending so much on discounts and coupons (thus effectively raising prices for users) and start bringing in more money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arounian also notes that there's an advantage to being the Uber for everything. If drivers work for multiple Uber platforms — for example, for ride-hailing and for Uber Eats — they can fill a day more efficiently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"During peak driving times, that driver is picking people up and dropping them off,\" Arounian says. \"Lunchtime kicks in — they're dropping off food. Switch back on during the evening rush hour to drop people off, and then they could do dinner.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That gives Uber an edge over companies that offer just one service. Cut some expenses, find a way to spend less on insurance, eventually roll out self-driving cars, and you may have a recipe for profits, Arounian says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's reason to be skeptical. To make this recipe work, Uber has to crush a small army of competitors. And when it comes to self-driving cars, there are huge obstacles, including not just technical challenges but also a maze of regulatory hurdles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Analysts who believe in Uber's future profits emphasize that they're talking about the long term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, aside from the minor detail that it burns billions of dollars each year, Uber has other challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Drivers have complained about their pay. On Wednesday, drivers \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/05/08/721333408/uber-and-lyft-drivers-are-striking-and-call-on-passengers-to-boycott\">went on strike \u003c/a>and protested in cities across the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>James Hicks was on strike in Los Angeles.

Its wild success has made Uber a household name — not just synonymous with ride-hailing but shorthand for any app that offers a service on demand: \"Uber, but for laundry,\" \"Uber, but for dog-walking.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And these days, Uber itself is the Uber for a lot more than ride-hailing. Uber Eats is Uber, but for \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2018/10/23/658436657/ubers-online-only-restaurants-the-future-or-the-end-of-dining-out\">takeout\u003c/a>.

Davidson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It has been expensive for Uber to expand into all those new markets. And the company has burned through money while keeping rates low to compete with its numerous rivals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber has mastered the art of rapid growth. But how can it pivot to become a profitable company?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's the $100 billion question,\" says Ygal Arounian, an equity analyst at Wedbush Securities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Uber is losing money, and you have to have a little bit of a vision to see them taking that revenue and start turning it into profit,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Arounian and White are optimistic about Uber's chances — eventually.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And once rivals have dropped out or consolidated, Uber can stop spending so much on discounts and coupons (thus effectively raising prices for users) and start bringing in more money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arounian also notes that there's an advantage to being the Uber for everything. If drivers work for multiple Uber platforms — for example, for ride-hailing and for Uber Eats — they can fill a day more efficiently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"During peak driving times, that driver is picking people up and dropping them off,\" Arounian says. \"Lunchtime kicks in — they're dropping off food. Switch back on during the evening rush hour to drop people off, and then they could do dinner.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That gives Uber an edge over companies that offer just one service. Cut some expenses, find a way to spend less on insurance, eventually roll out self-driving cars, and you may have a recipe for profits, Arounian says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's reason to be skeptical. To make this recipe work, Uber has to crush a small army of competitors. And when it comes to self-driving cars, there are huge obstacles, including not just technical challenges but also a maze of regulatory hurdles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Analysts who believe in Uber's future profits emphasize that they're talking about the long term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, aside from the minor detail that it burns billions of dollars each year, Uber has other challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Drivers have complained about their pay.

"content": "\u003cp>[dropcap]S[/dropcap]an Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency chief Ed Reiskin is on his way out. Mayor London Breed wants to launch a national search for a “visionary” new leader for an agency that’s been beset by missteps, mishaps and an occasional tragedy, especially when it comes to running its Muni transit service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The only question now is: Where will the city find someone to tackle the problems at the SFMTA?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even agency critics concede the organization faces a dauntingly complex series of challenges. The agency manages the Bay Area’s busiest transit system while at the same time overseeing operations and design of the street network in a city with a quickly expanding population and rapidly changing modes of transportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Look, he’s a good, smart, competent man with an impossible job,” Supervisor Aaron Peskin said after Reiskin announced Monday he’d be departing the SFMTA this summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peskin, a frequent Muni critic who chairs a Board of Supervisors committee on transportation and also heads the San Francisco County Transportation Authority board, said the SFMTA is “larger than any human being, no matter how smart or hard-working they may be.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates for cyclists, pedestrians and transit riders said Reiskin deserves credit for improving conditions for those who use San Francisco streets, but that much more remains to be done.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brian Wiedenmeier, executive director of the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, said while the city became a safer place for cyclists during Reiskin’s tenure, “We are not the city we need to be when it comes to safely moving around folks on foot, on bike and on transit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ed was someone who had his eyes on what needs to happen on our streets for pedestrian safety,” said Jodie Medeiros, executive director of Walk San Francisco. She added that Reiskin was instrumental in the city’s adoption of Vision Zero, its program to eliminate traffic fatalities — a goal the city is still far from achieving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Transit Riders spokeswoman Cat Carter said Reiskin was responsible for improvements in bus service that has driven sharp ridership increases on two of Muni’s busiest lines, the 14-Mission and 5-Fulton. But she said that with increasing congestion in the city, the agency has reached a point “where we need more transparency, more honesty about what the agency can and cannot do” to address the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>‘The Right Time for a Change’\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Reiskin announced the impending end of his eight-year tenure in a brief message to SFMTA employees that came on the heels of the agency’s most recent mini-disaster: \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Muni-suffers-widespread-subway-delays-commuters-13798160.php?psid=1GAfn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Friday’s daylong shutdown\u003c/a> of Muni’s downtown subway service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reiskin, often described as an unassuming leader who actually uses the trains, buses and bike lanes his agency is responsible for, noted his current contract is up in August “and it’s become clear that this is the right time for a change.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What made it clearest was a letter from Mayor Breed to the SFMTA board of directors chastising the agency for its response to the Friday incident and a series of episodes that have hampered Muni service over the past year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed faulted agency leadership for failing to plan for emergencies like the Friday shutdown and for stumbling in its responsibility to inform the public adequately about service disruptions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s important to make sure that we have contingency plans,” Breed said at a City Hall media briefing after her letter was released. “It’s important to make sure that every step of the way, we’re communicating with the public so that they know exactly what they can expect to do as a result. And it’s important to make sure that they know that we are prepared to deal with any challenge that comes our way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reiskin’s departure was foreshadowed last summer by \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/SF-transit-chief-apologizes-for-Muni-delays-13172887.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a public rebuke\u003c/a> from the mayor, which came after Muni experienced major service problems during and after a project to refurbish the light-rail system’s Twin Peaks Tunnel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The $40 million project required the tunnel between the east and west sides of the city to be shut down for two months, but Muni assured riders it would make up for missed train runs with a substitute bus service. But Muni didn’t have enough drivers or vehicles to operate the replacement service and the system’s citywide performance suffered as a result.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many other problems followed, including the death of a worker on the Twin Peaks Tunnel project; damage to trackside equipment in the tunnel, which Muni blamed on the project contractor, that compromised service after it reopened; continuing delays on the agency’s $1.6 billion Central Subway that could postpone its opening until next year; and charges of sexual harassment and racial discrimination in the agency that forces out two senior managers and prompted Breed to appoint an ombudsperson to investigate.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A Shocking Video and a Subway Mess\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>All of that was just a prelude for last week when, leading up to Friday’s subway mess, Muni was forced to confront video of an elderly patron being \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfexaminer.com/the-city/exclusive-video-emerges-of-woman-bodily-caught-in-muni-door-and-dragged-to-tracks/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dragged down a downtown Muni Metro platform\u003c/a> by a malfunctioning door on one of its brand-new light-rail vehicles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/OLAhhPLZ8K4\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The incident — along with other questions about the cars’ mechanical performance — prompted the Board of Supervisors, sitting as the San Francisco County Transportation Authority Board, to hold off on approving $63 million earmarked for buying more of the light-rail vehicles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To top it off, Muni was forced to cancel hundreds of runs last Monday and Tuesday because drivers were turning down overtime to put pressure on the city during contract negotiations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peskin called the situation “a perfect storm” for Reiskin and said he felt bad for the Muni chief “as someone I know and respect.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But like Mayor Breed, Peskin questioned the SFMTA’s competence both in handling the recent black eyes and explaining them to people outside the agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peskin said that as the furor built over the malfunctioning doors on the new light-rail vehicles, he told Reiskin and Muni operations chief Julie Kirschbaum that “they really needed to get ahead of the story and be honest with the riders and elected officials.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, Peskin said, “They were just kind of, as the mayor said in her letter, paralyzed. … When they kind of obfuscated and danced around things, it just compounded the problem and increased the level of frustration” with the agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peskin said that as city officials begin the search for the next SFMTA boss, they should also consider the agency’s current governance structure. Peskin, who was an author of a 2007 ballot measure that gave the SFMTA a high degree of independence from direct Board of Supervisors’ and mayoral oversight — and meddling — has been talking about changing that structure for the past year and a half.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is a growing sentiment at the Board of Supervisors that the board should take back some of its powers and oversight authorities,” Peskin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carter, of the San Francisco Transit Riders, said worsening conditions on the city streets will require the next SFMTA chief to focus on improving Muni and to do it quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We see record traffic congestion in the city, just choking the city and choking people’s access to jobs and families and cultural experiences,” Carter said. “So we do need some visionary leadership to say we do need to put transit first, that transit needs to be efficient and reliable so it can compete with private vehicles.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiedenmeier, of the bicycle coalition, said he thinks Breed and the SFMTA need to broaden their search for a new director beyond U.S. borders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think there are people who lead transportation policy and manage transportation agencies across the globe that would find this job in San Francisco attractive,” Wiedenmeier said. “And they would have ideas and experience to bring to bear that could help us really evolve into the city that San Franciscans deserve when it comes to our transportation system and the safety of our streets.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

She added that Reiskin was instrumental in the city’s adoption of Vision Zero, its program to eliminate traffic fatalities — a goal the city is still far from achieving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Transit Riders spokeswoman Cat Carter said Reiskin was responsible for improvements in bus service that has driven sharp ridership increases on two of Muni’s busiest lines, the 14-Mission and 5-Fulton. But she said that with increasing congestion in the city, the agency has reached a point “where we need more transparency, more honesty about what the agency can and cannot do” to address the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>‘The Right Time for a Change’\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Reiskin announced the impending end of his eight-year tenure in a brief message to SFMTA employees that came on the heels of the agency’s most recent mini-disaster: \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Muni-suffers-widespread-subway-delays-commuters-13798160.php?psid=1GAfn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Friday’s daylong shutdown\u003c/a> of Muni’s downtown subway service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reiskin, often described as an unassuming leader who actually uses the trains, buses and bike lanes his agency is responsible for, noted his current contract is up in August “and it’s become clear that this is the right time for a change.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What made it clearest was a letter from Mayor Breed to the SFMTA board of directors chastising the agency for its response to the Friday incident and a series of episodes that have hampered Muni service over the past year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed faulted agency leadership for failing to plan for emergencies like the Friday shutdown and for stumbling in its responsibility to inform the public adequately about service disruptions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s important to make sure that we have contingency plans,” Breed said at a City Hall media briefing after her letter was released. “It’s important to make sure that every step of the way, we’re communicating with the public so that they know exactly what they can expect to do as a result. And it’s important to make sure that they know that we are prepared to deal with any challenge that comes our way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reiskin’s departure was foreshadowed last summer by \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/SF-transit-chief-apologizes-for-Muni-delays-13172887.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a public rebuke\u003c/a> from the mayor, which came after Muni experienced major service problems during and after a project to refurbish the light-rail system’s Twin Peaks Tunnel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The $40 million project required the tunnel between the east and west sides of the city to be shut down for two months, but Muni assured riders it would make up for missed train runs with a substitute bus service. But Muni didn’t have enough drivers or vehicles to operate the replacement service and the system’s citywide performance suffered as a result.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many other problems followed, including the death of a worker on the Twin Peaks Tunnel project; damage to trackside equipment in the tunnel, which Muni blamed on the project contractor, that compromised service after it reopened; continuing delays on the agency’s $1.6 billion Central Subway that could postpone its opening until next year; and charges of sexual harassment and racial discrimination in the agency that forces out two senior managers and prompted Breed to appoint an ombudsperson to investigate.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A Shocking Video and a Subway Mess\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>All of that was just a prelude for last week when, leading up to Friday’s subway mess, Muni was forced to confront video of an elderly patron being \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfexaminer.com/the-city/exclusive-video-emerges-of-woman-bodily-caught-in-muni-door-and-dragged-to-tracks/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dragged down a downtown Muni Metro platform\u003c/a> by a malfunctioning door on one of its brand-new light-rail vehicles.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/OLAhhPLZ8K4'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/OLAhhPLZ8K4'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>The incident — along with other questions about the cars’ mechanical performance — prompted the Board of Supervisors, sitting as the San Francisco County Transportation Authority Board, to hold off on approving $63 million earmarked for buying more of the light-rail vehicles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To top it off, Muni was forced to cancel hundreds of runs last Monday and Tuesday because drivers were turning down overtime to put pressure on the city during contract negotiations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peskin called the situation “a perfect storm” for Reiskin and said he felt bad for the Muni chief “as someone I know and respect.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But like Mayor Breed, Peskin questioned the SFMTA’s competence both in handling the recent black eyes and explaining them to people outside the agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peskin said that as the furor built over the malfunctioning doors on the new light-rail vehicles, he told Reiskin and Muni operations chief Julie Kirschbaum that “they really needed to get ahead of the story and be honest with the riders and elected officials.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, Peskin said, “They were just kind of, as the mayor said in her letter, paralyzed. … When they kind of obfuscated and danced around things, it just compounded the problem and increased the level of frustration” with the agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peskin said that as city officials begin the search for the next SFMTA boss, they should also consider the agency’s current governance structure. Peskin, who was an author of a 2007 ballot measure that gave the SFMTA a high degree of independence from direct Board of Supervisors’ and mayoral oversight — and meddling — has been talking about changing that structure for the past year and a half.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is a growing sentiment at the Board of Supervisors that the board should take back some of its powers and oversight authorities,” Peskin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carter, of the San Francisco Transit Riders, said worsening conditions on the city streets will require the next SFMTA chief to focus on improving Muni and to do it quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We see record traffic congestion in the city, just choking the city and choking people’s access to jobs and families and cultural experiences,” Carter said. “So we do need some visionary leadership to say we do need to put transit first, that transit needs to be efficient and reliable so it can compete with private vehicles.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiedenmeier, of the bicycle coalition, said he thinks Breed and the SFMTA need to broaden their search for a new director beyond U.S. borders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
