But you CAN make a CORPORATION pay a sh*tload in fines to the govt.
That’s what this is all about.
Sadly, you can't even do that. Any fine they get will be paid by their customers. (Us)
By the way, they deserve punishment. In 2010, they blew up the entire town of San Bruno through incompetence.
They should be put into receivership and the court should appoint a CEO.
You can make a corporation pay more to the state, yes. And then the corrupt state “rwgulators” just jack up the utility rates (not to offset the fines but for other unexplained and deliberately unverified costs). So what this is all about is the corrupt “regulators” are levying a further tax on the citizens —- the corporation collects it and splits it with the corrupt “regulators” and political crooks in Sacramento. No new services for the poor taxpayers. Just more taxes for the corruptoids in government. It’s all very simple really.
