This will be our new lives if capitalism continues to exist
Just so you all know, the fire was likely caused by a private electric company, that essentially has a monopoly here, and could have been prevented if they shut off power in that area for only a few hours.
They chose not to because they wanted to maximize profit potential. This was more important to them than the entire town of Paradise.
No Corporation is your friend. No Corporation will ever care about the good of others unless it is profitable to do so.
PG&E have caused several disasters, like last year’s fire in Santa Rosa, and a while back they blew up a neighborhood south of San Francisco. They were also the villians in Erin Brockovich. They know they are messing up so they propose extreme, unacceptable solutions to problems they have created through a lack of maintenance, like shutting down the power to large areas, or cutting down all the trees within 50 feet of any power or gas lines. Then when people justifiably complain they get to claim that they tried, but no one wanted them to act, so clearly they aren’t to blame.
The question we are faced with is how long can we let one company actually murder people without any action.
