For those who’ve seen a automobile tooling round downtown Austin not too long ago with seemingly no driver, your eyes aren’t deceiving you.

San Francisco-based Cruise, which is owned by Common Motors, is now providing a completely autonomous rideshare service in Austin with no human drivers or displays.

The corporate introduced in September that it had began ramping up its operations in Austin, with plans to supply robot-taxi companies right here and in Phoenix by the top of the 12 months.

This previous weekend, the 2 cities grew to become the primary exterior of the corporate’s dwelling base in San Francisco the place its rideshare companies can be found. In Austin, the service is open to passengers in central components of town and downtown, however plans name for it to be expanded over time.

On paper, Ricky Rodas covers immigration and small enterprise for The Oaklandside, however over the previous 12 months, he’s written about a number of different subjects, from the ecology of Lake Merritt to gun violence to sports activities.

The Oaklandside’s information editor Darwin BondGraham spoke with Rodas about his work in 2022 and one large theme emerged—a number of tales about The City are literally tales of world migration and tradition.

This interview has been edited for size and readability.

Ricky, I used to be trying again at your tales this 12 months. The primary story you probably did was a couple of cafe owned by a Queer/transmasculine Filipina who combats xenophobia by way of artwork and extra. Later, you wrote about Iu Mien elders who backyard in Fruitvale, and then you definitely had a narrative a couple of Bolivian tailor in North Oakland. Lots of your tales characteristic immigrants and present how intrinsic they’re to our metropolis. What function do you see immigrants taking part in in Oakland?

So long as immigrants have been in Oakland, they’ve contributed important providers. You talked about a narrative I did about Penny Baldado, who owns Cafe Gabriela. They do one thing so simple as serving the sandwiches to downtown employees Oakland, however that’s very essential as a result of lots of people go down there they usually want one thing to eat. Cafe Gabriela is a queer, Filipinx-owned cafe and Penny sees the straightforward act of operating their store as a method of combating xenophobia. Penny additionally named their cafe after a 18th century Filipina revolutionary, so there’s that added ingredient as effectively.

I lately did a narrative about Arth & Son, a 145-year-old auto restore store that was began by a German immigrant from France. The unique proprietor began out repairing horse-drawn carriages, after which future generations went on to restore vehicles. Immigrants fill a number of roles in Oakland when others could select to not. 

Throughout this pandemic we’re nonetheless residing by way of, we’ve sadly seen a number of these companies shut. For instance, there was this beloved cafe downtown referred to as Anula’s. The girl who ran it, Anula, is Sri Lankan, and he or she’d constructed up this large base of loyal clients who dined there for lunch. Effectively, these clients got here out in droves to help her throughout her final week. They actually cherished this spot. Her cafe was not only a place to eat however a spot the place neighborhood and friendships have been shaped.

You’ve been writing about this one restaurant, La Perla, for a number of years now. Most lately, you coated a fundraiser they held to assist rebuild Puerto Rico after Hurricane Fiona. Is that this one thing you see a number of in Oakland, companies with robust ties to communities in different international locations?

Each time somebody strikes away from their native land, whether or not Puerto Rico or Sri Lanka or Afghanistan, they’re going to attempt to stay linked by some means. That’s very true when a disaster occurs. 

I used to be lately engaged on a narrative in regards to the human rights abuses which can be happening in Iran and East Bay Iranians who’re making an attempt to assist the protestors of their homeland who’re fairly actually placing their lives on the road. These folks additionally occur to be enterprise house owners, or have been enterprise house owners right here in Oakland.

Within the case of La Perla, 2017’s Hurricane Maria was tragic after which adopted by Hurricane Fiona this 12 months. These storms deepend the historic inequities current on the island. And folk like La Perla proprietor Jose Ortiz, or the band Sazon Libre, created these fundraisers to do no matter they will to assist their folks out.

When you find yourself linked to a neighborhood, while you’re linked to a diaspora, regardless of the place you’re, you’ll really feel the ache that the diaspora is feeling. You’re going to attempt your greatest to treatment that from wherever you’re, and I believe that’s what I attempt to faucet into by way of my work as greatest as I can.

Let’s speak about one other story you labored on that highlighted how Oakland exists as a hub in a globalized world. Together with Oaklandside Managing Editor Jacob Simas you wrote in regards to the battle in Tigray, Ethiopia’s northernmost state. What induced you to need to pursue this reporting?

Effectively first, I believe the credit score goes to one of many most important sources that we spotlight within the story, Daniel Hagos. He’s lived in Oakland for a number of years. By means of Daniel we have been capable of join with the cafe proprietor, Adey Hagos, and different locals who’ve been rallying towards a genocide that’s occurring within the Tigray area of Ethiopia. 

It’s a extremely advanced story that took a very long time to report. However I needed to do that story as a result of I’m additionally a part of a diaspora that’s all too conversant in state violence. I’m a part of the El Salvadoran diaspora and we all know what it’s wish to expertise civil warfare, expertise violence, after which need to stay on a regular basis with the emotional and psychological fallout. 

To see what was happening in Ethiopia, I understood immediately that this was an area story. A worldwide battle will have an effect on a neighborhood wherever they select to settle. That’s what we’ve seen play out in Oakland as a result of there’s so many alternative sorts of Ethiopian ethnic teams and all of them have totally different opinions about this warfare.

Once more, I need to give all of the credit score to our sources as a result of they’re those who spearheaded this. I believe the place we as The Oaklandside may give ourselves credit score is that I noticed there was worth in telling an area story even when there wasn’t a transparent information peg connected to it. The story was nonetheless well timed as a result of this neighborhood in Oakland is silently coping with this immense ache, and I believe as a hyper-local information outlet, we needed to highlight that. 

One other mission you’ve labored on this 12 months is that this collection that highlights small companies in particular neighborhoods. Within the Laurel District, you wrote a couple of salon, bike store, and crafts retailer. What are some stuff you’ve realized doing this sort of hyper-local enterprise reporting?

Oakland is an enchanting metropolis as a result of it has so many alternative micro-towns. You get this “city inside a city” expertise by going to sure enterprise districts like Laurel or Montclair or Fruitvale. 

I believe that’s one of many largest issues that I realized is which you could have very distinctive experiences in these Oakland neighborhoods. These distinctive experiences are sometimes centered on the small companies as a result of they function cultural hubs. To inform these tales, it’s a must to deal with spotlighting the neighborhoods by way of the companies. 

In 2022, violent crime continued to be a priority of Oakland residents. Are you able to speak about how this impacted the enterprise neighborhood?

A number of Oakland outlets are liable to robberies, break-ins, and vandalism. Store house owners are inclined to have a extra police-focused perspective on public issues of safety. They advocate for extra policing and I believe that comes from a spot of wanting to guard their belongings and their property. A number of these locations are mom-and-pop outlets they usually’re making an attempt to fairly actually defend their livelihood. An excellent quantity of those house owners grew up right here and or stay within the neighborhoods they serve, and in order that’s why they care deeply about public issues of safety. 

Store house owners have additionally been victims of the violence. One of many co-owners of Fortunate Three Seven, Artgel Anabo, or “Jun” as he was affectionately recognized, was shot and killed proper exterior of his restaurant. His demise hit the Fruitvale-Dimond neighborhood exhausting. Jun was linked to the small enterprise neighborhood so his demise was felt by way of town as effectively.

Some enterprise house owners need a extra militarized model of policing—officers throughout Oakland and really strict patrols. Others need to deal with hiring officers who’re from Oakland, they usually need neighborhood beat cops and foot patrols. A number of the complaints I’ve heard is that they don’t need cops who’re simply strolling by and never saying hello to anyone. 

The World Cup’s happening proper now. You’ve finished a bit of reporting about this too. What are a number of the diaspora communities in Oakland rooting for his or her nationwide groups?

Within the nearly three years that I’ve been reporting on small companies in Oakland, I’ve come throughout so many alternative diasporas. A number of the international locations which can be represented in Oakland, sadly, didn’t qualify for this 12 months’s males’s World Cup. We’re speaking about Ethiopia, Eritrea, Cambodia, Vietnam, Yemen, China, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and extra. There’s a big Mexican neighborhood in Oakland however their workforce didn’t make it that far.

Our World Cup protection was an train in looking for these diasporas, together with these of countries who don’t have as large a neighborhood in Oakland as say Mexicans or Ethiopians. An ideal instance could be the article I wrote about Oakland Moroccans discovering neighborhood by way of this 12 months’s cup. There isn’t an enormous Moroccan neighborhood in Oakland or the Bay Space. There are slivers of individuals unfold all through the Bay. That story was attention-grabbing as a result of it was in regards to the creation of a neighborhood. It was about everyone within the Moroccan diaspora right here in Oakland and the Bay Space understanding that there aren’t clear connections. However the World Cup gave them a automobile to seek out one another as a result of their nation was fairly actually making historical past for a lot of totally different causes. 

Although they misplaced towards France, Morocco made historical past by changing into the primary African nation to make it to the lads’s World Cup semi-finals because the match began in 1930. The nationwide squad additionally obtained symbolic victories by beating Belgium within the spherical of 32, defeating Spain within the spherical of 16, and eliminating Portugal within the quarter-finals. These are three European nations that invaded and exploited Africa for a whole lot of years, together with Morocco.

The best way that the cup helped to carry totally different diasporic communities collectively was additionally evident in one other story I wrote which highlighted this Argentine enterprise proprietor Javier Sandis. When Sandis moved right here in 2001 due to Argentina’s financial disaster, he had by no means heard of Oakland, however he got here right here to play soccer on a scholarship. 

Over time, he discovered himself invested in the neighborhood and he began establishing eating places. He created an area for himself to work and simply make a residing. He even made a parklet as a result of he needed to rejoice the World Cup whereas he bought empanadas. He inadvertently created an area for Argentinians everywhere in the Bay Space to return. I believe that the World Cup tales have been very particular as a result of they highlighted the creation of communities for individuals who in any other case didn’t know their folks have been right here.

On a very totally different notice, you wrote some attention-grabbing tales about Lake Merritt this previous 12 months, beginning in January while you coated salmon sightings after which in August when there was a poisonous algae bloom. Why do Oakland residents love the lake a lot?

These are examples of tales the place I wish to department out from my traditional beat. Protecting immigrant communities and doing tales about enterprise coverage points are my bread and butter however I’m typically a nerd and am interested by so many alternative issues, notably nature. 

Oaklanders actually care in regards to the lake for many causes. One, it’s a gorgeous, scenic location that serves as a gathering level for everybody within the metropolis. Two, the lake is a various ecosystem that’s been round for 1000’s of years. It’s the U.S.’s first wildlife refuge and I believe biology fanatics take delight in that.

I’ve grow to be The Oaklandside’s unofficial fish reporter and I’ve discovered myself in that function as a result of I’m actually interested by how Oaklanders look after town’s pure setting and its distinctive ecosystems. I don’t know what number of Lake Merritt tales I’ve written since I began my job with The Oaklandside nearly three years in the past, however it’s quite a bit!

Elon Musk’s Twitter is dealing with a litany of challenges starting from profitable again advertisers who ditched the service to making sure it may well abide by a Federal Commerce Fee (FTC) settlement to guard customers’ privateness. And in line with at the least one professional, the unfavourable consideration helps spur development at competing platforms.

“We see an unprecedented rise in opponents to Twitter,” MIT Sloan Faculty of Administration Professor Sinan Aral informed Yahoo Finance Reside. “Now we have seen an unprecedented rise in people utilizing Mastodon and Publish. We are going to see whether or not Twitter stays the first supply of townsquare dialog.”

Mastodon is an open-source, non-profit Twitter different, whereas Publish is a news-centric social media platform that’s nonetheless in beta. You want to enroll in a waitlist to affix.

Since Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion in October greater than half of the corporate’s workforce, round 7,500 staff, had been both laid off or stop. Musk’s stance on decreasing moderation on the platform, in the meantime, spooked advertisers, inflicting them to considerably cut back or cancel their adverts on the service solely.

“He mainly deserted content material moderation, and also you noticed a variety of privateness, safety, and security employees flee or be fired,” Aral mentioned. “This created an unprecedented enhance in hate speech and misinformation. On the heels of that advertisers [fled] Twitter.”

Musk has additionally come beneath fireplace for suspending the accounts of journalists who reported on his choice to ban the @ElonJet account, which tracked the CEO’s non-public jet through public info.

On Sunday, Musk held a ballot asking his 122 million followers if he ought to resign as Twitter CEO. Some 57% responded saying he ought to step down from the submit. Musk has since mentioned he would depart Twitter’s prime spot, however solely after he finds a alternative. And even then, he’d keep on to guide the software program and server workforce.

“It’s a terrific factor,” Aral mentioned. “He actually had no concept what he was doing. He clearly is a superb entrepreneur with a terrific observe document at Tesla (TSLA) and SpaceX and different firms, however this one proved too laborious for him.”

Story continues

Whereas Aral says that Musk’s Twitter is dealing with extra competitors, the CEO doesn’t appear all that involved. In Nov., Musk mentioned Twitter’s consumer numbers had been at an all-time excessive and that signups hit a brand new document.

Now we’ll simply need to see if these numbers can translate into significant income shifting ahead.

In a brand new e book, WealthManagement.com columnist and writer Mark Miller tackles a troublesome query: How can Individuals nearing retirement who aren’t financially ready get again on monitor—even late within the sport?

Chris Farrell, senior economics contributor for the radio program Market and for Minnesota Public Radio, not too long ago talked with Miller about his new e book, Retirement Reboot: Commonsense Monetary Methods for Getting Again on Observe, excerpted on this web site. Farrell, who’s the writer of 5 books on economics, private finance and retirement, wrote the ahead to Retirement Reboot.

Associated: Towards a New Social Insurance coverage Period

Retirement Reboot walks readers by way of methods for enhancing retirement outcomes, together with optimizing Social Safety, navigating Medicare, tapping dwelling fairness and constructing financial savings.

It’s Miller’s third e book; his most up-to-date is Jolt: Tales of Trauma and Transformation.

That is an edited transcript of an upcoming podcast concerning the broad themes of Retirement Reboot, airing Jan. 10.

Chris Farrell: What prompted you to put in writing Retirement Reboot?

Mark Miller: There’s an excessive amount of debate about whether or not now we have a retirement disaster brewing in america. Nevertheless it’s been clear to me for a while {that a} very substantial portion of older households approaching retirement merely aren’t financially prepared. Maybe two-thirds or extra will rely primarily on Social Safety in retirement, which goes to interchange perhaps 40% of their pre-retirement revenue.

So there’s clearly going to be a niche there, because the common rule of thumb is that you might want to substitute 70% to 80% of pre-retirement revenue. And there are methods to vary that math, and that’s what this e book is about. I actually needed to put in writing a e book for this viewers—the individuals who actually might use the assistance.

CF: One theme of many private finance books is the significance of beginning to save for retirement at a younger age. So, is it too late for older folks to show across the scenario?

MM: It’s not too late to enhance retirement outcomes. In fact, getting an early begin is a large benefit, as a result of you may have time in your aspect—you may have the flexibility to get compounding getting in your favor. However Retirement Reboot affords a tour of potential levers that you would be able to pull comparatively late within the sport. These aren’t essentially simple steps to take, however they’re achievable. And so they’re not gimmicks.

I am additionally attempting right here to decode and demystify as a result of complexity is the enemy right here. I have been on this beat for 15 years, and I am simply endlessly amazed on the labyrinth of advanced techniques for retirement we’ve constructed that may be actually robust to navigate. Complexity is the enemy, and all through the e book I attempt to distill what I have been capable of be taught and simply spell out some easy steps you possibly can take.

CF: Okay, so what are an important levers?

MM: Far and away, they’re Social Safety and Medicare. These are our two common packages—practically everybody participates. And Social Safety and Medicare are an important assets accessible for enhancing your retirement safety. One other lever is the potential for rewriting your retirement math by working longer, though some caveats include that. It’s additionally essential to consider methods to cut back your prices; that 70% alternative fee rule of thumb does not have in mind the concept that you might be able to whittle away at your spending. And at last, I focus on methods to faucet into dwelling fairness, as a result of I feel it could be silly to disregard for center class households. Dwelling fairness typically is the first type of “saving” that’s accessible to them.

CF: Social Safety and Medicare are so essential. However aren’t they a basic instance of the complexity you are speaking about?

MM: Sure, though I feel Medicare is extra sophisticated than Social Safety. We make extra of the complexity round Social Safety than actually is critical. The easy fact is that, for married {couples} particularly, it makes an excessive amount of sense for the upper earner to delay his or her submitting, to the extent potential across the guidelines of delayed claiming credit. It may also make sense for the decrease earner to assert earlier. There’s no one-size-fits-all reply, however the principle message is that delay is healthier than to not delay.

Medicare, sadly, has develop into very advanced, and it actually is because of a number of pointless privatization in this system. We pressure folks to wade by way of a number of market selections. And the transition to Medicare on the level of retirement generally is a very rocky path. I focus within the e book on the significance of constructing good choices once you first enroll.

CF: If I pressured you to call only one essential step towards a profitable retirement, what would that be?

MM: I feel most individuals do not absolutely recognize the significance of retirement timing, and I commit a complete chapter to this. It may be troublesome to manage, however it may be such an essential issue. Working longer is a good aspiration, however it’s not a plan, as a result of about half of individuals retire sooner than they anticipated to both due to job loss or a well being drawback. They should go away work to develop into a caregiver, or perhaps they simply have burned out on the job.

However I illustrate within the e book simply how highly effective it may be to work even a number of years longer. Working longer helps set you as much as delay your Social Safety declare, since you nonetheless have revenue coming within the door to dwell on when you delay your declare. It isn’t the one technique for a delayed declare, however it’s a very good one. Working longer additionally means extra years when you possibly can be saving for retirement. And it means fewer internet years of your life the place you might want to dwell in your retirement assets. And a fourth, maybe much less essential issue—in the event you’re in a job with employer-provided medical insurance, that is typically cheaper than Medicare.

CF: What do you are feeling is the commonest mistake folks make after they’re planning for his or her retirement?

MM: First, the large retirement safety issues going through so many people aren’t primarily the results of errors. Do folks make errors? In fact. Behavioral economics are at work right here—folks procrastinate, they don’t plan. However we have arrange these retirement constructions which can be simply unnecessarily sophisticated to navigate, you recognize, saving for retirement and medical insurance, specifically.

There are such a lot of competing calls for for the accessible greenback as folks journey by way of their working years, whether or not that is the excessive price of housing or childcare, or placing youngsters by way of faculty. And we are likely to have quick reminiscences on this nation! An individual who was 55 years previous in 2021 has lived and labored by way of 4 recessions, two inventory market crashes and a daunting housing market crash in 2009-2010. We all know what that does to the flexibility to economize and simply how devastating it may be to family financial safety. Two of these recessions had been actually devastating for older staff—the Nice Recession of 2008-2010, after which 2020, after we put the financial system in a coma to struggle COVID-19. Each of these financial downturns had been actually damaging for older staff.

CF: OK. However I nonetheless needed to ask you about this. So is there like a standard error that we make? As a result of I completely agree, you recognize, the system is deeply flawed, and it places an excessive amount of on the person. However nonetheless, the person is guaranteeing selections.

MM: For people who find themselves 50 and older, it’s not taking the time to really make a retirement plan. It is a very massive mistake, since you’re flying blind. I’ve a chapter within the e book concerning the worth of recommendation, and explaining that, you recognize, it isn’t just for the wealthy anymore. A pair actually optimistic issues which have occurred whereas I’ve been masking this bear—one is the appearance of low-cost index investing. One other is the democratization of recommendation. It’s potential to get assist with planning now, both from on-line providers, or a planner, at a really affordable price. I feel it is pennywise-pound-foolish to say, “I do not need to pay to get planning assist.” It might make an infinite, optimistic distinction.

CF: Enthusiastic about the coverage aspect of retirement, what steps would you prefer to see taken in Washington, D.C. that may enhance the system?

MM: Effectively, let’s return to Social Safety and Medicare. The final chapter of the e book is titled “Towards a New Social Insurance coverage Period.” The time period “social insurance coverage” has actually fallen out of use. When Social Safety was created within the Nineteen Thirties—after which into the Forties and Nineteen Fifties—folks knew what the time period meant. It’s insurance coverage with a social goal—packages that now we have created collectively as a society for all of us to entry. We’re all within the pool collectively.

We have to renew our give attention to Social Safety and Medicare—make them extra strong and stronger.

With Social Safety, there are two points. One is the solvency drawback, which we’re going through proper now. In 2035, we’ll attain a degree the place the Social Safety belief funds for retirement and incapacity can be emptied out because the boomer age wave accelerates and extra persons are drawing advantages. And at that time, we’ll find the money for coming within the door from present staff paying their FICA contributions, to fund about 80% of advantages—in different phrases, a 20% throughout the board profit minimize, which might be a catastrophe. That may impression present beneficiaries and everyone claiming will see a slash of their Social Safety. In order that must be addressed.

The excellent news is there’s a number of good methods to deal with it. And I hope Congress will get round to fixing that.

Past the solvency query, I feel we must always have a look at adequacy of advantages. So once more, as I discussed earlier, Social Safety replaces on common 40% of preretirement revenue. However I ask the query: Why not have Social Safety substitute much more pre-retirement revenue? It might substitute 60% to 70%—we might afford to fund that as a society. It’s not likely a query of {dollars} however of values.

We bemoan the disappearance of outlined profit pensions from the non-public sector. Effectively, Social Safety is our public pension program. Why not make it greater? Saving will at all times be problematic for a lot of Individuals. We should always encourage it, however many individuals merely won’t accumulate sufficient that it’s going to matter to them in retirement. The revenue merely will not be accessible to be put away in giant sufficient quantities for middle- and low-income households.

Concerning Medicare, I argue that there are methods to make this system higher. A method is to degree the enjoying subject between the normal Medicare program and Medicare Benefit, which is the business managed care model of Medicare that many individuals now enroll in. So there’s a wide range of issues that we will do to make Medicare higher. This system is tilted in favor of privatization proper now, to it’s detriment.

However as essential as that will be, increasing Social Safety can be the only largest public coverage step we might take to enhance retirement for common Individuals.
