They can move parts around a warehouse, clean hotel floors, and even deliver food in restaurants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inside the dining room of a Tony’s Roma’s steakhouse in Carson, two robots are used as servers. General Manager Mithun Chowdhury said business fell this summer when immigration raids began in Southern California. “It’s little bit tough, because people are scared to get out. So they don’t come frequently in the restaurant anymore. So the business is hurting little bit,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The robots cost $1100 a month to rent. They run food from the kitchen to tables, and then bring dirty dishes back to the kitchen. “It’s very helpful. I also cut some labor,” Chowdhury said. The robots allowed him to cut some employees’ hours — everyone lost about one shift a week, or about five hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robots are not replacing human workers one to one at this restaurant but it’s an example of a future with fewer human employees. Expect to see more of this. Analysts predict the service robot industry will grow to $600 million this year. That could mean not just a loss of jobs, but harder work for the people left behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"Page-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/california-shooting-stockton-party-b5694f32ae71d2e6d874641a78f65f4f\">\u003cstrong>California Family Heartbroken By Deadly Shooting At Toddler’s Birthday Party\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Family members were getting ready to cut the cake at a toddler’s birthday party when the gunfire started inside a banquet hall packed with relatives and friends over the weekend in Stockton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I actually thought it was my balloons popping.

They can move parts around a warehouse, clean hotel floors, and even deliver food in restaurants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inside the dining room of a Tony’s Roma’s steakhouse in Carson, two robots are used as servers. General Manager Mithun Chowdhury said business fell this summer when immigration raids began in Southern California. “It’s little bit tough, because people are scared to get out. So they don’t come frequently in the restaurant anymore. So the business is hurting little bit,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The robots cost $1100 a month to rent. They run food from the kitchen to tables, and then bring dirty dishes back to the kitchen. “It’s very helpful. I also cut some labor,” Chowdhury said. The robots allowed him to cut some employees’ hours — everyone lost about one shift a week, or about five hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robots are not replacing human workers one to one at this restaurant but it’s an example of a future with fewer human employees. Expect to see more of this. Analysts predict the service robot industry will grow to $600 million this year. That could mean not just a loss of jobs, but harder work for the people left behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"Page-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/california-shooting-stockton-party-b5694f32ae71d2e6d874641a78f65f4f\">\u003cstrong>California Family Heartbroken By Deadly Shooting At Toddler’s Birthday Party\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Family members were getting ready to cut the cake at a toddler’s birthday party when the gunfire started inside a banquet hall packed with relatives and friends over the weekend in Stockton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The main job is to fill in whenever the governor is out of state, and the only real power comes with sitting on the University of California and California State University boards of regents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Tubbs sees opportunities in the office similar to those he had during his stint as the mayor of Stockton, where he melded the power of his personal story with ambitious plans for the oft-forgotten city, becoming a rising figure among state Democrats who were searching for inspiration after Republican Donald Trump was elected president in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oftentimes it’s not about the formal role or statutory authority of a position, but it’s really about the leader in that position … and how they’re able to use that position to get things done and to make it big or to make it meaningful for the people they want to serve,” Tubbs said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Raised by a single mother with a father in prison, Tubbs graduated from Stanford and interned in the Obama White House before winning election as the first Black mayor of Stockton in 2016 when he was just 26 years old.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His biggest splash was securing funding from Silicon Valley for a \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/united-states-presidential-election-758f8d90cb664ba5bca303f93e46da3a\">guaranteed income program\u003c/a> that paid poor people $500 a month without restrictions on how they could spend the money. The program, a relaunch of an old idea, \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/race-and-ethnicity-andrew-yang-california-poverty-michael-tubbs-150214c358eaca9a24c8501c51e09491\">prompted dozens of similar programs\u003c/a> across the country, culminating with the California Legislature \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/government-and-politics-california-4fea151e0425f8188337e44a02ab8177\">setting aside $35 million\u003c/a> for guaranteed income programs benefitting pregnant people and former foster children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Tubbs’ celebrity status turned off some voters in Stockton, and he \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/election-2020-stockton-elections-michael-tubbs-campaigns-4c29a13c4a396db81fe844e707f153da\">lost his reelection bid in 2020\u003c/a> to Republican Kevin Lincoln, a little-known figure at the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, Tubbs has followed a familiar script for political rehabilitation. He acted as an \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/stockton-california-gavin-newsom-us-news-michael-tubbs-575cd10cae56dae206885dad35ccb35e\">unpaid advisor to Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom\u003c/a> and published a memoir while working with a coalition he founded to help launch guaranteed income programs across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Tubbs to complete the comeback and win office, he will have to best some formidable candidates with lots of experience in Sacramento, including Democrats Fiona Ma, who is finishing up two terms as state treasurer, and state Sen. Steven Bradford, known for pushing California closer to becoming the first state to \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/california-reparations-budget-black-25a4e549c64fafde3f71f77c201b3030\">offer reparations for slavery\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have a track record of doing hard things,” Tubbs said. “When we think of sort of the problems that have been caused by Sacramento or attempted to be solved by Sacramento, I’m just not convinced those same problems can be solved by people who’ve spent decades in Sacramento.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lieutenant governor has been a stepping stone to the governor’s office for some, including Newsom, who was lieutenant governor for eight years before getting elected to his current position in 2018. In the 1990s, Democrat Gray Davis also occupied the post before winning the state’s top job, and current Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis is a strong contender in a field of candidates to replace Newsom in the 2026 election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tubbs said he views the job as important in its own right. But he still has his eyes on the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My hope is to do such a great job … that in four to eight years, after the job, I have all types of options for things to do,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

The program, a relaunch of an old idea, \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/race-and-ethnicity-andrew-yang-california-poverty-michael-tubbs-150214c358eaca9a24c8501c51e09491\">prompted dozens of similar programs\u003c/a> across the country, culminating with the California Legislature \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/government-and-politics-california-4fea151e0425f8188337e44a02ab8177\">setting aside $35 million\u003c/a> for guaranteed income programs benefitting pregnant people and former foster children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Tubbs’ celebrity status turned off some voters in Stockton, and he \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/election-2020-stockton-elections-michael-tubbs-campaigns-4c29a13c4a396db81fe844e707f153da\">lost his reelection bid in 2020\u003c/a> to Republican Kevin Lincoln, a little-known figure at the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, Tubbs has followed a familiar script for political rehabilitation. He acted as an \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/stockton-california-gavin-newsom-us-news-michael-tubbs-575cd10cae56dae206885dad35ccb35e\">unpaid advisor to Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom\u003c/a> and published a memoir while working with a coalition he founded to help launch guaranteed income programs across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Tubbs to complete the comeback and win office, he will have to best some formidable candidates with lots of experience in Sacramento, including Democrats Fiona Ma, who is finishing up two terms as state treasurer, and state Sen. Steven Bradford, known for pushing California closer to becoming the first state to \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/california-reparations-budget-black-25a4e549c64fafde3f71f77c201b3030\">offer reparations for slavery\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have a track record of doing hard things,” Tubbs said. “When we think of sort of the problems that have been caused by Sacramento or attempted to be solved by Sacramento, I’m just not convinced those same problems can be solved by people who’ve spent decades in Sacramento.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lieutenant governor has been a stepping stone to the governor’s office for some, including Newsom, who was lieutenant governor for eight years before getting elected to his current position in 2018. In the 1990s, Democrat Gray Davis also occupied the post before winning the state’s top job, and current Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis is a strong contender in a field of candidates to replace Newsom in the 2026 election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tubbs said he views the job as important in its own right. But he still has his eyes on the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My hope is to do such a great job … that in four to eight years, after the job, I have all types of options for things to do,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
