Will this terrible tragedy in Cal turn Cal red?

[ChristyDancer]

Here's the clueless clown who heads up the Department of Water and Power in Los Angeles. She is paid $750, 000 a year.

Her name is Janisse Quiñones. She has an undergrad in Mechanical Engineering, and two masters (including an MBA), and 25 years of experience in the field. She's a licensed professional engineer in 5 states, and a Commander in the Coast Guard Reserves. Prior to her current position, she was with Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), where she first served as Senior Vice President of Gas Engineering and then as Senior Vice President of Electric Operations. $750k per year is what you pay a person with those credentials. So, dude, I have two questions. First, how do her credentials stack up against yours, and 2) what is your point?

His credentials are being a die-hard racist, and bragging about once buying sex with a can of corn.

So, I mean...they're about even?

And your proof that exists is what?

The pitiful lives they have before entering office and the lives of opulence they enjoy after leaving office.

She couldn't do my job. She's proven her incompetence on her job. She knew about the Santa Ana winds, she knew about the fire danger, she knew about the empty reservoir that serves Pacific Palisades in such emergencies, and did nothing about it. So despite her credentials she failed at her job which she was probably forced to apply for after the failings of her other employer PG&E. A simple search reveals the following:

Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) has faced significant criticism over the years for its operations, safety practices, and corporate governance. Below are some key issues and internal problems that have drawn public and regulatory scrutiny:

---

1. Wildfire Liability​

• Negligence in Equipment Maintenance: PG&E's aging infrastructure and failure to maintain or replace equipment have been linked to several devastating wildfires, including:
  • Camp Fire (2018): The deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California's history, destroying the town of Paradise and killing 85 people. PG&E pleaded guilty to 84 counts of involuntary manslaughter.
  • Kincade Fire (2019) and Dixie Fire (2021): Both linked to PG&E equipment failures.
• Financial Fallout: The company faced billions in liability claims, ultimately filing for bankruptcy in 2019.

---

2. Safety Failures​

• Explosions and Accidents:
  • San Bruno Gas Explosion (2010): A natural gas pipeline explosion killed eight people and destroyed a neighborhood. Investigations revealed that PG&E had failed to properly inspect and maintain the pipeline.
• Neglected Maintenance: Critics accuse PG&E of prioritizing profits over safety by delaying essential maintenance and upgrades to its infrastructure.

---

3. Corporate Governance Issues​

• Profit Over Safety: PG&E has been accused of diverting resources from infrastructure and safety improvements to executive bonuses and shareholder dividends.
• Leadership Instability: Frequent turnover in leadership has hindered the company's ability to implement long-term reforms and establish a consistent safety culture.

---

4. Blackouts and Public Outrage​

• Planned Power Shutoffs: To reduce wildfire risk, PG&E began implementing Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) during high-risk conditions. While intended to prevent fires, these blackouts:
  • Disrupted millions of customers' lives.
  • Highlighted PG&E’s inability to address root causes of infrastructure problems.
• Unpreparedness: The shutoffs were criticized for poor communication and inadequate planning, leaving customers, including those with medical needs, vulnerable.

---

5. Regulatory and Legal Troubles​

• Fines and Settlements: PG&E has paid billions in fines, settlements, and compensation claims for its role in disasters.
• Bankruptcy: PG&E’s 2019 bankruptcy was one of the largest utility bankruptcies in U.S. history, stemming from its wildfire liabilities.
• Ongoing Oversight: California regulators continue to monitor the company’s operations, often imposing stricter requirements due to its poor track record.

---

6. Public Trust and Reputation​

• PG&E’s repeated failures have eroded public trust, with many Californians calling for its breakup or replacement with a publicly owned utility.
• Critics argue that its for-profit model is incompatible with the need for reliable, safe, and affordable energy in high-risk areas like California.

---

Recent Efforts and Challenges​

• Rebuilding Trust: PG&E has pledged to invest in safety improvements, including undergrounding power lines and modernizing infrastructure.
• Challenges Ahead: Despite efforts to reform, PG&E continues to face scrutiny over its response to wildfires, rate hikes, and climate adaptation challenges.

PG&E’s history reflects a pattern of prioritizing financial interests over safety, leading to catastrophic consequences for California communities. While the company has taken steps to address these issues, its track record leaves much room for skepticism.

Take note of its negligence and repeated safety problems. It looks like she brought all of it to her present position. Oh, and I hope my "point" wasn't jammed too far up your ass.

[HisArpy]

Please explain

Do your homework.

 

[HisArpy]

Says the guy with like fifteen alts. Or sixteen. I wonder if even you have lost count by now.

Yup, right on time with the same old lies.

And yet you think you're "educated enough" to spot someone who barely finished grade school instead of having a doctorate.

Yeah, keep going bub. Eventually you'll figure out what a hot mess you are. Of course you'll need to go back to school and learn what that means, but you do you.

 

[HisArpy]

Imagine hiring HisArpy to represent your family in court and then finding his posts here

Unless you're someone who lives an alternate lifestyle...

Or don't you think some people don't deserve a lawyer who doesn't cringe when they knock on his door?

Anyone wonder why?

I did, your turn.

Actually, you didn't.

Which is why I had to remind you to not come to class unprepared.

I know you're willfully ignorant but you realize that facts didn't give a damn about your opinion or feelings, right?

I'm not the one looking for "facts" that match up with my feelings.

CAL FIRE inspected the equipment to make sure it was working properly before throwing that equipment into the fray, NOT the DOT. And the issue was NOT “emissions”. And the equipment was NOT delayed for hours

Per official news reports backed by Oregon and California officials:

“No, California did not reject or delay out-of-state fire trucks for emissions tests​

Fire trucks traveling from Oregon and other states to help fight the California wildfires were stopped for routine 15-minute safety checks, not emissions testing.”

The original story (misinformation) is a LIE.

Hope that ^ helps.

I'm not the one unprepared here. All YOU had to do was your homework and you wouldn't have had to ask in the first place.

Instead, what you want is to cheat off my exam paper. Fuk dat shit, do your own homework.

He trust corrupt democrats, they would never lie to him. BIDEN IS SHARPER THAN EVER!!!!

I hear the person who `posted that "misinformation" wears blue jeans, has some graphic T-shirts, liked TopGun:MAVERICK and saw a few fast and furious flicks....clearly it was BotBoy. Never has there ever been such clear identifying features.

I've notice that whenever you idjits get your knickers twisted, you always seem to want to have other people do the work for you instead of sucking it up and putting some effort into being a responsible human being rather than a brainless tur(D).
