Are you kidding me?

You asked to raise our electricity rates 7x more than rest of US

We let you

You asked for $21 BILLION for PG&E (et al) to clear wires

We gave it to you

Now you want a charitable donation?

Do your job. Get the wires cleared. Stop being a telethon host
And enough with your fake, cringey “media avails”

I appreciate that you want to “brand” yourself as caring about “de-energized communities” but why don’t you start by explaining how you’re going to GET THE WIRES CLEARED AND THE POWER BACK ON
After you do that then explain to us directly and honestly, as the sentient adults we are, how the situation got so bad, what you’re doing to prevent it from happening again, and how you’re going to hold the responsible parties accountable, now and going forward.
Americans are the most generous people in the world

Our trusting, charitable behavior is one of our best qualities

You, as a politician, abuse that amazing generosity when you ask for charitable donations for THINGS WE HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR
Oh hey, another press conference full of sound and fury while signifying nothing

That ought to do it, champ

After all, it’s worked so well for you so far
