The government is less efficient at serving its stake holders than for-profit corporations.

The government creates the conditions for PGE to be so bad. I’m defecting from the grid this year, PGE’s high prices mean my s system will pay for itself in less than a year and will likely be more reliable.

battery and solar companies saved me from PGE and they can save you. The government perhaps can but likely won’t. Extrapolate for yourself what this means about the world and what organizations should command the most resources.

The government told PG&E not to fix its broken ass infrastructure and cause a catastrophic fire? I think if you examine the historical record, you will find that the opposite occurred. The government told PG&E not to have 100-year-old infrastructure in fire prone areas, and PG&E decided to send dividends to its hedge fund owners instead of doing so.

Seems a bit passive no? The government has a job, but your way of handling it is the opposite of holding it accountable. Government is made of people and they will be as inefficient as allowed to be.
