Paul "The Vulture" Singer is adding his gasoline to the PG&E fire, trying to take over the busted power pirates. Singer truly is a corpse chewer, trying to make billions off the dead burnt bodies of California fire victims. finance.yahoo.com/news/while-wal… #PGEpowershutdown

The GOP cannot win #Ohio unless they suppress the vote
Earlier this year, #Ohio removed 265,000 voters from its roles. Now the state is moving to purge an additional 235,000 voters.
The York Times said 20% of the 235,000 removals in #Ohio are wrong. Our Silicon Valley database and address experts say it's more like a 70% error rate. nytimes.com/2019/10/14/us/…

PG&E is a Crime Wave, Not a Power Company gregpalast.com/pge-is-a-crime…
From our friend without power in Santa Cruz: “I had to get two kids ready for school with no electricity this morning.”
The PG&E Blackout Con is all about threatening the judge in the bankruptcy case. The victims have joined with the bondholders to eliminate the equity of the stockholders. So in desperation, the power company pigs are turning off your lights. wsj.com/articles/pg-e-…

Leaving hospitals, schools and 1 million homes without power — and that means without water — in California is the endgame of deregulation mania. nytimes.com/2019/10/10/us/…
Jerry Brown, Bill Clinton and the PG&E greedster bosses should be imprisoned for the people already burned to death. reuters.com/article/us-cal…
Public utilities must be publicly owned. Decades back, I investigated power company racketeering for the Justice Department. As an expert, I can tell you, PG&E is a criminal enterprise parading as a power company. Shut them down — not us!

Companies including Deripaska’s Terra Services Ltd., a real estate firm.

Assocs of Dmytro Firtash were working to dig up dirt on former VP Biden last summer in an effort to get Rudy Giuliani’s help in the oligarch’s legal case for which he is fighting extradition.
💣RUMafia3💣

Giuliani pushed Trump adm to grant a visa to a UKR official (Shokin) promising dirt on DEM

Tapping pro-Trump lawyers like diGenova and Toensing looked like a useful way to help get his case thrown out.

DiGenova and Toensing have billed Firtash about $1 million.

Now that lots of Californians are calling for a public takeover of PG&E, as the public, let's do what any investor would do before buying a company - review its financial statements. investor.pgecorp.com/financials/ann… Thread 1/
First, how much would it cost? The market currently values PG&E at $4.12 billion dollars. For comparison, that's two Transbay Terminals, or about 3,000 homes in San Francisco. For comparison, the Salesforce Tower is valued at 1.3 billion. 2/
Part of the reason PG&E is valued so low - around 10% of its 2017 value - is that in 2018 it lost more money per year than Uber and WeWork combined, due to over $11 billion in wildfire-related claims. 3/

Since my house narrowly avoided the #pgeshutdown, I figured I'll use my desktop to give a rundown of the whole deal with not just PG&E, but California's fire problem.

The home of the Sierra Club and the first national park has a unique history of environmental destruction
First of all, it's not just fires. In San Bruno, the original home of YouTube, a PG&E gas pipe exploded in 2010. It was big enough to make a small earthquake

8 people were killed, and dozens injured, leaving a scene you'd expect to see in a Fallout title
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Bruno…
This was completely preventable. The pipe needed replacing because it was a patchwork of varying thicknesses with a weld running the length. It was the load-bearing drywall of welding jobs.

PG&E was indicted with lying to the Nat'l Transportation Safety Board, and much more

Judge Alsup asks of PG&E lawyer why it paid $4.5B to company owners in recent years when that money could have been used to trim trees.

"Why is it PG&E always say safety is our number one thing ... it's not really true," he says.
Judge Alsup and one of the PG&E lawyers are now getting into a testy exchange about how CA utilities and regulators apply the state's vegetation management laws. The judge thinks the law is really stricter than how PG&E and the CPUC implement it re power lines
PG&E lawyer says it doesn't matter because the company wants to dramatically beef up its vegetation management around power lines. But it will take 8 years, mostly because of a lack of qualified tree trimmers, he says
