A Threat To PG&E
Megan comments on my last post:
As things now stand 1/3 of the population of California - that would be of the gold hugging market worshippers - can run the the lives of the rest of us.
This is not about public discussion. It is about public obstruction of stuff that Megan and her employers do not approve of. Pretty much like the filibusters and all of the other blocking tactics now being employed at a national level.
