Called in a Peninsula bus company that was dumping bus toilet sewage nightly across the employee parking lot for months and into the storm drain to sfbay.
They repeatedly refused to come out and bust or even investigate the Rich Greek owners.
Finally, after the Storm Drain govt guy came out, CalOSHA did come out and cite fine for many garage problems, but not for drivers walking every morning thru sewage for months!
He should repair the Customer $8B charges of the flawed 2001 bankruptcy.
And $5M Fine for CEO, COO, CFO, and All the Board of Directors.
And I hope he Scolds the CaPUC for major mismanagement of a private ,for profit, Monopoly , largest Utility in this State, and all the Governors and State Legislatures since the 1960s that looked away.
We the public and the Consumer victims DESERVE OUR DAY IN COURT FOR JUSTICE.
The bankruptcy court doesn't care about us PG&E customers.
And this has little to do with Climate Warming.
This is about irresponsible maintenance ,for profit!!!
PG&E must stay in biz long enough to buy $1T in liability insurance and Delayed Maintenance repair all their gas and electric lines,,,and fully fund their employees pension liability,,,and leave a huge $1B trust fund for hidden and lied about future liabilities!
Most of my family is/was employed in Public Education in California.
Dad, 40 yrs at a state college.
Mom, high school Home Economics cooking-sewing teacher until Dad came home from WW2,surprise!, and they started a family.
Both sisters taught for decades in Elementary Schools.
First, you need a 4 YEAR COLLEGE DEGREE. Wanna go in DEBT!?
Then a year or 2 getting your Master's TEACHING CREDENTIAL. Got 2 More yrs?? More Debt!!
Then, you pick WHICH SCHOOL DISTRICT you want to get Stuck at, as Ca. Teachers can Not freely move within the State, as they should taking their pay seniority with then. Stupid, eh?? Imaging you're a Carpenter or Mechanic or Football Player, but you lose over 10% if you move out of town in first few years. So dumb.
Then you deal with... Bad PRINCIPALS that can't be fired, and all the lousy SUPERINTENTENTS that Mantra chant, "We have to spend all this year's budget somehow, to get as much or more next year!" Dumb, eh??
Uppity clerk's, too few school nurses, no school Security Guard not 1, lousy cafeteria food for breakfast and lunch, ill mannered children abusing hazing bullying each other, and irresponsible parents who don't/can't even make sure Their kids do their homework and blame the Teachers!
And the Teacher's UNIONS are about as daily useless as the Teamsters $50/mo dues!
Still think Teaching is an "easy job"??
You have to submit a written or online published LESSON PLAN every school day for the next day. Do you write down what you are doing tomorrow in detail at your job!? The so-called Principal can drop into class anytime and check on you and your DAILY LESSON PLAN.
You may try and GRADE PAPERS during your lunch, but Dad had us kids help him often after dinner. Wanna grade papers every night for an average salary of less than $80k?? Every Realtor will laugh at your typical teacher desire to buy a house/condo costing a 30yr mortgage, costing you More than Double the house price. Do we need a GI BILL for TEACHER HOUSING??
The Principal can order you to join a COMMITTEE, no extra pay, after school. Teachers should teach, and Admin should earn their "Golden handshakes" and "Golden parachutes"!! Teachers don't get, tho deserve, $100,000+ bonuses. This is wasting public TAXES!!
These so called, easily replaced by almost any college grad, Principals can order you as a Teacher to move without help or even a hand truck all the School's INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS from one class room to another, many heavy boxes, risking popping a disc as happened to a LAUSD friend and being PERMANENTLY DISABLED. This is clearly an ancient history of abuse, so why doesn't Ca. stop it??
And the dreaded ANNUAL PARENT-TEACHER MEETING, we're Teachers politely skirt how lousy parents do a lousy job of parenting and rich parents have unrealistic expectations for all their unknown children. Carpenters, Mechanics and Airline Pilots don't suffer this Admin-shirked dirty job!
POLITICIANS could make this all so much better in California, if we only... gave them All our monthly leftover cash as Campaign Contributions;
(Just kidding.)
Want a truly lazy lying irresponsible but overpaid and get rich quick job? Politics, in California!!
And we didn't even cover the boobs running CalPers PENSION or the lying insurance sharks selling supplement 403b TAX SHELTER to teachers who don't review and or understand every quarterly stock-bond report!
Oh, well, I feel like crying now, instead of TEACHING IN CALIFORNIA AT ANY PUBLIC SCHOOL. You??
We will continue to see wasteful spending until most of Congress serves at least 2 years in the National Guard or Coast Guard or other branch of the military.
How long will Congress delay the Tax Overhaul?
How long will Congress delay Single Payer Health Care like all other advanced countries?
How long until Congress overturns Citizens United and takes payola out of politics?
How long until a Gender Equality Amendment?
How long until Corporate Felony Criminals regularly go to jail?!?
I think...NOT!
Please talk to us, much more than Jerry did in 16years!!!!
Glad about your team investigating DMV slack job performance in 6months.
But also please CalTrans, for wasting $6B overrun on the Oakland Bay Bridge.
And for "going through the motions" with CHP of many trucks slowing driving on our state freeway shoulders, but Not picking Anything UP!! I see this all the time, for decades in the BayArea!
Like Gov Arnold I hope your office is very easy to call and immediate answer , or email.
Best wishes!!
Bankers?
Wall Street?
A Top Secret Govt Agency!?
Yes, the Federal Tax Code must be redone by the lazy irresponsible manana manana Congress.
And we must transition to Cheaper & Better national medical care, Single Payer.
And I want a review of every deregulated industry, from airlines to trucking, to see if we are better off.
I want a national passenger railroad line, like Japan and advanced West Europe. Zero freight trains allowed!!
Obviously to us employees, many public consumers and the politicians , this Massive increase in Minimum Business Insurance for such a reckless and irresponsible private for profit company... should have been done years, decades ago.
My latest red plush full size e-blanket died last night after about a year.
Luckily I bought 3 at a time cuz I do like the red fuzzy!
Will Goodwill the old blanket.
But 1-2 years is too short a life, unwashed and well cared of, I think.
Previously, I had bought 3 defectives, and after a long CSR conversation, returned them.
Don't remember who paid return shipping, maybe them.
But it happened like 3 times in a row!!!
I would buy 3 or 4 e-blanket for 3 beds and 1 for traveling, yes I do spoil myself with warm sheets in cold new hotels!
Each time I had a very long conversation with their CSR and eventually... was given permission to return-exchange!
Guess I'll use CR to find a new RELIABLE "brand".
Like I did with HxxxP ink jet printers! So defective!!!!!
And Epxxxson printers!
Now luv Brothers so much.
