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

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Updated at 6:00 p.m. ET Friday\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ride-hailing company Uber made its stock market debut on Friday, and promptly saw share prices dip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='news_11745857' label='More Coverage of Rail-Hailing Companies']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber priced its shares at $45, the lower end of the possible range, aiming for a total diluted market value of about $82 billion. After a delay of two and a half hours, trading started with the stock at $42, down more than 6% over that initial price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout the day, share prices never reached $45. And at the closing bell, stocks were even lower than their morning value: Uber ended the day at $41.57 per share.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company's pricing reflected a relatively conservative approach for this initial public offering. A few months ago, analysts were expecting Uber's IPO to be far bigger than this. A $100 billion valuation was seen as reasonable — some even floated $120 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it's a rough week for the stock market, which is watching President Trump's rhetoric on trade with concern. And Uber's smaller ride-hailing rival Lyft saw its stock values plummet after an ambitiously priced IPO last month. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, this is the largest U.S. initial public offering since Alibaba's record-setting IPO in 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber, which has never turned a profit, raised $8.1 billion in the IPO.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber has expanded dramatically since its founding a decade ago — in user base, in geographic scope and in ambition. Once focused on helping wealthy users hail private limos as an alternative to taxis, Uber embraced a peer-to-peer model where almost anyone could become a driver. Like Lyft, it began offering carpooling options where you share a ride with a stranger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Lyft focused on ride-hailing in the U.S., Uber took another path — expanding its global footprint and diversifying its services, offering food delivery, freight shipping and electric bike rentals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But all that growth was expensive. Uber, like Lyft, has never made a profit. Instead, the company has burned through prodigious quantities of venture capital as it slashes prices to compete with rivals and invests any earnings into expansion. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plenty of investors see big profits in Uber's future — in the long term. These profits depend on Uber outlasting rivals, raising rates and cutting costs. Investors point to the company's massive size, and the tremendous potential markets for its many services: ordering takeout, receiving packages, even getting groceries delivered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They want to be able to touch consumers across all aspects of how they utilize transportation,\" says Ygal Arounian, an equity analyst at Wedbush Securities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And autonomous vehicles, if they begin to replace drivers, could let Uber keep a bigger chunk of what users pay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All the money raised through this IPO will help Uber chase that vision. But there are major obstacles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the technology behind autonomous or self-driving cars has come a long way, the cars are nowhere near ready for widespread, human-free deployment. And after a self-driving Uber hit and killed a pedestrian last year, Uber's own tests have slowed down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, with autos that aren't autonomous ruling the roads, Uber relies on its community of drivers for its business model to work.

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company's pricing reflected a relatively conservative approach for this initial public offering. A few months ago, analysts were expecting Uber's IPO to be far bigger than this. A $100 billion valuation was seen as reasonable — some even floated $120 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it's a rough week for the stock market, which is watching President Trump's rhetoric on trade with concern. And Uber's smaller ride-hailing rival Lyft saw its stock values plummet after an ambitiously priced IPO last month. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, this is the largest U.S. initial public offering since Alibaba's record-setting IPO in 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber, which has never turned a profit, raised $8.1 billion in the IPO.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber has expanded dramatically since its founding a decade ago — in user base, in geographic scope and in ambition. Once focused on helping wealthy users hail private limos as an alternative to taxis, Uber embraced a peer-to-peer model where almost anyone could become a driver. Like Lyft, it began offering carpooling options where you share a ride with a stranger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Lyft focused on ride-hailing in the U.S., Uber took another path — expanding its global footprint and diversifying its services, offering food delivery, freight shipping and electric bike rentals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But all that growth was expensive. Uber, like Lyft, has never made a profit. Instead, the company has burned through prodigious quantities of venture capital as it slashes prices to compete with rivals and invests any earnings into expansion. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plenty of investors see big profits in Uber's future — in the long term. These profits depend on Uber outlasting rivals, raising rates and cutting costs. Investors point to the company's massive size, and the tremendous potential markets for its many services: ordering takeout, receiving packages, even getting groceries delivered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They want to be able to touch consumers across all aspects of how they utilize transportation,\" says Ygal Arounian, an equity analyst at Wedbush Securities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And autonomous vehicles, if they begin to replace drivers, could let Uber keep a bigger chunk of what users pay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All the money raised through this IPO will help Uber chase that vision. But there are major obstacles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the technology behind autonomous or self-driving cars has come a long way, the cars are nowhere near ready for widespread, human-free deployment. And after a self-driving Uber hit and killed a pedestrian last year, Uber's own tests have slowed down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, with autos that aren't autonomous ruling the roads, Uber relies on its community of drivers for its business model to work. And many drivers aren't happy: On Wednesday, groups held strikes and protests in cities in the United States, United Kingdom and Australia to push for higher pay and better working conditions. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11746384\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/gettyimages-1142194552_custom-12954595a641e6f033bdc9a7a8e61e0d430a3ca0-s1600-c85-800x504.jpg\" alt=\"A small group of independent drivers and supporters protest against Uber and other app-based ride-hailing companies near the Wall Street Charging Bull on May 8 in New York City.

"content": "\u003cp>As cyclists in the Bay Area celebrated Bike to Work Day on Thursday, San Francisco Mayor London Breed said the city would build 20 miles of new protected bike lanes and would step up traffic citations to help keep the roads safe for bicyclists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='news_11745321' label='Bike to Work Day: Tips for a Smoother Commute (From KQED's Experts)']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city will create the new bike lanes over the next two years. In 2017-2018, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) built protected bike lanes at a pace of a little more than 5 miles a year; that pace would be doubled under Breed’s plan, her office said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Since 2006, bicycling in San Francisco has almost tripled. As our city continues to grow, we know we need more protected bike lanes, not only to keep people safe, but also to encourage more people to bike in the city and reduce congestion,” Breed said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2017, 19,000 city residents commuted to work by bike, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfmta.com/bicycle-ridership-data-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SFMTA data\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cycling enthusiasts cheered Breed’s plan. “No better way to celebrate #btwd (bike to work day),” the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition wrote on Twitter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/sfbike/status/1126566687942201344\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The coalition had been urging the city to speed up construction of protected lanes, which are barriers between where cars park and bikers ride. The barriers could be made of concrete or even be planters, said Brian Wiedenmeier, the coalition’s executive director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Paint and posts don’t cut it anymore. If somebody can park somewhere, they will,” he said Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we’re focused on is physically protected and separated bike lanes throughout our city,” he added, noting that cyclist \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfweekly.com/news/family-and-friends-of-cyclist-tess-rothstein-speak-out/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tess Rothstein\u003c/a> was fatally struck by a truck after dodging the open door of a parked car while traveling in an unprotected lane on Howard Street in March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed also asked the SFMTA to increase traffic citations for blocked bike lanes by 10% over the next six months — starting immediately — to help keep them clear. In the last half of 2018, the agency said it issued 27,000 citations for infractions related to blocking bike lanes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Mayor Breed had been absolutely clear with us: She’s expecting us to get safe streets built fast. We’re trying to rise to that challenge,” said Tom Maguire, SFMTA’s sustainable streets director.\u003c/p>\n\n",

New York drivers \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytwa.org/home/2019/5/7/nyc-is-strike-ready-tomorrow-uber-lyft-juno-via-apps-off-7am-9am\">are demanding\u003c/a> an end to sudden account deactivations and the right to appeal through the courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The strike was spearheaded by \u003ca href=\"https://drivers-united.org/\">Rideshare Drivers United\u003c/a>, a Los Angeles-based association of drivers. And the group is asking for the support of would-be passengers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We ask that the public support drivers in their struggle for fair wages and our Drivers bill of rights,\" spokesman Brian Dolber said in an email to NPR. \"We are calling for community standards that will ensure that Uber and Lyft do not create needless traffic and pollution. By boycotting Uber/Lyft for 24 hours, passengers can show that they stand with RDU in our fight for a rideshare industry that truly serves Angelenos.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When companies go public, it usually means big money for executives and sometimes nice payouts for employees. San Francisco's housing market has been bracing for the \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/07/style/uber-ipo-san-francisco-rich.html\">thousands\u003c/a> of newly minted millionaires spawned by four major IPOs this spring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber's valuation could be as high as \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/26/technology/uber-ipo-valuation-price-range.html?module=inline\">$91 billion\u003c/a> when trading begins, which would place it among the top three most valuable firms to ever debut on a U.S. exchange. Co-founder and former CEO Travis Kalanick's stake may be worth \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/05/business/dealbook/uber-ipo.html\">as much as\u003c/a> $5.9 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/SamWHarnett/status/1126209288081293312\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the IPO won't be life-changing for most drivers, who Uber insists are independent contractors, not employees.

Some drivers also \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/03/29/707908980/uber-and-lyft-drivers-strike-in-california\">went on strike\u003c/a> before Lyft went public in March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Strikes or rallies are also planned in Chicago, Washington, Boston, Atlanta, Philadelphia, San Diego and Stamford, Connecticut. On Twitter, organizers are using the hashtags #StrikeUberLyft and #AppsOffMay8 to build momentum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This strike is taking different forms in different cities, but in the L.A. metro area, the strike will last for \u003ca href=\"https://drivers-united.org/strike\">24 hours\u003c/a>, with a picket line at Los Angeles International Airport and a noon rally. The New York Taxi Workers Alliance called for \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytwa.org/home/2019/5/7/nyc-is-strike-ready-tomorrow-uber-lyft-juno-via-apps-off-7am-9am\">a rush-hour strike\u003c/a>, during which drivers will turn off the Uber, Lyft, Juno and Via apps from 7 to 9 a.m., and then rally outside Uber and Lyft headquarters in Long Island City.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Uber/Lyft going public on the stock market will make billionaires of Uber and Lyft bosses while drivers struggle in poverty and the companies destroy the livelihoods of drivers in every sector,\" the New York drivers' organization says in its call to action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For those who often use ride-hailing apps and want to support the strike, today may mean a commute by public transit, a cab or bicycle. At D.C.-area airports, officials arranged for extra cabs and said they always encourage passengers to consider taking the Metro rail system or the bus, The Washington Post \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/transportation/2019/05/07/strike-by-uber-lyft-drivers-wednesday-has-potential-disrupt-travel-thousands/?utm_term=.f1d44fa418bf\">reported\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement to Post, Uber said drivers \"are at the heart of our service — we can't succeed without them — and thousands of people come into work at Uber every day focused on how to make their experience better, on and off the road.
