The question is : How many fires are there in CA yearly? It's like 2000 to 4000 different fires that start at different places in the same season.

And how many of those were started because of PG&E? 2? 3?

But PG&E has to pay for every fire they cause, because they can. And now they don't want to.

The consequence.

"The company was found responsible for 17 of the 21 major fires that blazed across California in 2017 alone. It was responsible for the deadliest fire in California history last year, the Camp Fire, where 86 people were found dead and more than 50,000 were displaced."

I don't really understand this. You are making claims about causes and effects without having (ever?) read about california fires and why they are started?

Isn't that the bare minimum expected to even have an opinion, let alone engage in a discussion about it?

Not anymore, unfortunately.
