PG&E gas employees wined and dined just before mass power outages

Yeah, Most of the coverage of the outage has been complete garbage fueling and fueled by public resentment.

I was listening to NPR forum yesterday and people were calling in and complaining that PG&E was continuing their tree trimming activities during the outage. The expert panel empathized with caller outrage opposed to pointing out trimming is countionious activity.

As a non-Californian it sometimes look like there is a body hard at work scapegoating PG&E.

Not that they are blameless, but I think there's a lot of blame to go around and the voters & government do not want to consider their own contributions to the problem.

Clickbait. It's like complaining about the Army when an AF plane crashes.

I understand why the admins don’t want to ban links with paywalls or ad-blocker walls, but it would better if these links at least had some indication that they are inaccessible with reasonable privacy settings enabled. I don’t want to vote for this behavior by giving them page views if I can help it, but by the time I know the site is walled off, it’s too late - I’ve already helped to pad their numbers.

This one is egregious because it pops a modal dialog with a dummy “X” button.

Executives wined and dined.

What do they care? The company is bankrupt: they just succeeded in shedding down a load of responsibility.

Fixed, thanks.
