For You Know-It-All College Students
By Neal Boortz
This is for the college students who are in that magical time of life where they have all of the answers to all of our political woes in the world. Many students in this video believe that it is moral to confiscate money from hard-working Americans and entrepreneurs and give it to those who didn't earn it, yet don't support the same philosophy when it is applied to their GPA scores. Take some time to watch this video --- see our college students in action! I know that you will be anxiously waiting for the chance to hire them as soon as they graduate?

Under the current PG&E CEO's watch a gas pipeline blew up killing eight people and destroying 38 homes. The company later said it had misidentified the pipeline's characteristics and, as a result, proper inspections weren't conducted (although rate payers paid for them twice). The company can't find all of the other records it was ordered to produce and says we should just accept assumptions about the type and condition of the lines presented by the company.
PG&E spent $42 million on a ballot proposition designed to limit competition. Spent millions more installing a metering system that have provided incorrect readings costing taxpayers untold thousands of dollars in overcharges and that PG&E’s records outlined “risks” and “issues” including an ongoing ability to recover real-time data because of faulty hardware from PG&E vendors.
In short PG&E's CEO Peter Darbee appears to have been felled by inattention to the bread-and-butter basics of the utility business: providing safe and reliable service to customers.
Darbee is now retiring with a package worth between $34-39 million as a reward for his success and hard work. A third of that money does not come out of hard working investor pockets, but rate payer's.
I'm sure that stunts such as these appeal to the uni-dimensional among us.
I would no more expect to have a GPA re-distributed than I would space in my house. But I am sure that feeding people who are hungry by using some of my tax dollars benefits me as does using my tax dollars for roads and bridges that I may never use.
BTW, I also note the irony that the biggest political crybaby [figuratively speaking] for having my tax dollars re-distributed to him was Bobby Jindal. Why should my tax dollars help his shrimpers?

There is enlightened self interest, and then there is myopic self interest.
