After mocking Vice President Kamala Harris over her teleprompter use, Donald Trump’s rally in Reno, Nevada, ground to a halt as he was was forced to fix his on-stage after a campaign sign fell on it.“Thank god I don’t use teleprompters too much,” Trump told rallygoers after the sign fell on the teleprompter, causing the script to stop being projected. “I look at the teleprompter, it’s totally gone. I say ‘What the hell happened.’ The sign fell on top of it.”Former president Donald Trump removed signage that fell on top of his teleprompter at a rally in Reno, Nevada (AP)The irony of the incident comes to light when reflecting on the number of times the former president has accused Harris of relying on a teleprompter and mocking her for it.Trump told supporters on Friday he would “level” with them, and […]

Safaí and Farrell form an alliance. Why?

Mission Local is publishing campaign dispatches for each of the major contenders in the mayor’s race, alternating among candidates weekly until November. This week: Ahsha Safaí. Read earlier dispatches here.To the surprise of some, Ahsha Safaí, the District 11 supervisor and mayoral candidate from a working-class district, formed an alliance last week with Mark Farrell, the venture capitalist who once represented District 2, one of the wealthiest in the city.Both say they will ask their supporters to rank each other second on the ballot — although on Farrell’s social media post about ranked-choice voting Thursday, he only asked voters to “rank Ahsha Safaí on your ballot,” not necessarily second. In the ranked-choice voting system, voters can, in order of preference, rank up to 10 candidates. If voters follow the advice, the alliance will give Farrell a boost, as Safaí is running […]

Tesla stock sank, Uber rose after robotaxi event. Here’s why.

Uber (UBER) shares ticked higher on Friday after Tesla's (TSLA) robotaxi event left investors largely disappointed. GLOBALT Investments senior portfolio manager Thomas Martin joins Market Domination Overtime to discuss the competition between the two and why Uber benefitted from the event."Both Tesla stock and Uber reacted the way you would have expected given the robo-day from Tesla. It was a classic example of long-term versus short-term. And they were the opposite for Uber and for Tesla," Martin says of the movement.He tells Yahoo Finance that "if Tesla was able to solve automated vehicles and robo in the near term or you saw a roadmap for even the intermediate term, then that was a problem potentially for Uber longer term. But the devil is in the details."As investors were left looking for more insight and further information about the robotaxi rollout, […]

Safaí supports both Prop. M and L, but one may nullify the other

Mission Local is publishing campaign dispatches for each of the major contenders in the mayor’s race, alternating among candidates weekly until November. This week: Ahsha Safaí. Read earlier dispatches here.Ahsha Safaí arrived at the Thursday “Yes on M” gathering at Castro Theater about twenty minutes late, missing his speaking slot for the measure that would change San Francisco’s business tax structure, making the city rely less on companies’ payroll expenses.Instead, it would be more dependent on the revenue a company earns in the city. As a result, It would remove the tax incentives for businesses to keep workers out of the city.  This proposition would also change the threshold of a small business exempt from gross receipt taxes, from $2.25 million to $5 million. And, a number of fees that small businesses pay would be eliminated.In effect, as Mission Local’s Joe […]

A Famed Palestinian Poet On What He Left in Gaza

Credit - Knopf The acclaimed Palestinian poet and essayist Mosab Abu Toha left his native Gaza 10 months ago, but he is still very much there—mentally and emotionally, that is. Since fleeing to Cairo, and then on to upstate New York where he currently resides with his family, Abu Toha dedicates much of his time to amplifying what is happening in Gaza, particularly in the north where many members of his family still reside amid mass displacement and death.“I’m immensely worried,” he says, referring to his sisters in the north, one of whom is heavily pregnant and unable to heed the latest Israeli evacuation orders – issued on Oct. 5, in advance of a new offensive. His third sister has been incommunicado in Gaza's south. “I cannot rest,” says Abu Toha, 31.The poems in Forest of Noise, his new book, […]
