For the life of me I can't figure out why every PGE employee doesn't just go home and turn off their cell phone.

Tie both their hands behind their backs and then sue them for not using their hands.

So PG&E gets fined and raises everybody’s rates. How does that help the consumers?

It wasn’t until I got to the end of the article before I realized that this wasn’t in the Babylon Bee.

Doubtful.
At least not in any 3rd world country I’ve been in...from the east coasts of Asia and Africa, to South America.

If you want reliable info, you’re better off getting your Bees from Babylon rather than Sacramento.

It’s devolved to just another tax to redistribute wealth from the rate payers to preferred groups.

Merely prepping public opinion for the States fascist takeover of PG&E

>>Californias official advocate for utility ratepayers wants to have PG&E fined $165.7 million for mishandling a series of deliberate wildfire-safety blackouts last fall.<<
So one side of California wants to transfer the taxpayer money to the other side of California.
This is like taking your cash out of your wallet and putting it in your nightstand and saying you have less money — and then demanding a raise which your boss cannot say no to.

They are not allowed to clear weeds and brush, and yet when there is a fire it is PG&E's fault. I would just close up shop if I were they. Let California be looted in the dark.

You are right.
The state taking over PG&E is the ultimate goal.

Standard progressive leftist money grab. They can’t produce or contribute s&!t.

The state taking over PG&E is the ultimate goal.
If they run it like their sustainable energy and forestry program, expect California to be on its knees in 5 years!

Why do Californians vote for Democrats. Are 51% really benefiting?

It’s time for PG&E to treat California like Dagny Tagert treated the Mexican San Sebastian Line in Atlas Shrugged. When the state takes over the only thing left should be a couple hundred feet of orange extension cord and a beat up Honda generator.
