U-T print circulation continues to plummet
Don, the U-T has been destroying its own circulation ever since Manchester bought it. Before then we received it on our doorstep before 0600 during the week for over 30 years so we could read it before going to work or take it to work. After Manchester bought it (and sold it) it has been it has been going past 0700 delivery to as late as 0800 during the week, which is not something you want visible on your doorstep all day long until you get home from work. We still subscribe to the U-T and the LATimes, but I have been retired for 17 years and it doesn't matter as much when it is delivered, but for most other potential and past subscribers of our older generations the U-T committed suicide.— October 28, 2016 1:20 p.m.
Attorney general Kamala Harris's predictable "malpractice"
Don, I'm finding it impossible to believe that you can write so much about the total corruption of California state government (republican and democrat), Brown, the legislature and CPUC type agencies without throwing up with every post. Brown/SCE/CPUC threats against public safety at SONGS are enabling the worst disaster in California history. Interesting that Brown and Peevey are Berkeley grads and Berkeley has already become the worst education disaster in the history of California. And no one is able to save us from climate change disasters that have already begun. Should Californians escape to Colorado before our roads and bridges fall apart completely?— April 24, 2016 12:22 p.m.
Utilities commission "violence" unacceptable
Don, so what you are saying is that we are doomed to destruction by corrupt institutions and the Fourth Estate is totally unable to motivate us to overcome the failures of our neocortex?— February 15, 2016 2:38 a.m.
Utilities commission "violence" unacceptable
Don, most respectfully, I am speaking of journalists who are our last line of defense to inform, educate and motivate us to make the right things happen if we are going to ever be able to save us from ourselves in time. You are the best of the best journalists that we have left and I hope you can unite other journalists to join you in this effort. As you know better I, our politicians and intellectuals have once again failed to protect and preserve our newest civilization, the worst case failure mode of all other failed civilizations that were documented as lessons of history by Will and Ariel Durant.— February 14, 2016 9:40 a.m.
Utilities commission "violence" unacceptable
Pretty well stated Flapper. Many have accused me of being a member of the pointy-headed (neo?) liberal, navel contemplating, self-righteous class, so I shall once again attempt to point out that none of our political, academic, scientific, religious, etc. institutions have demonstrated enough morality and integrity to produce an implementable solution to our acts of self-destruction by global warming, violence, inequality, etc. even though it is 2016 and we are running out of time faster than ever before. I can only continue to hope that Don, our pre-eminent representative of the one remaining institution that might be able to inform, educate and motivate us to make the right things happen in time shall find a way to save us from ourselves..— February 13, 2016 12:31 p.m.
Utilities commission "violence" unacceptable
Don, Jerry Brown has now proven beyond all doubt that there is no difference between corrupt and destructive republicans and democrats. God Help our newest and future generations as long as criminal politicians like Brown can give his rich, powerful, white guy friends "Get Out of Jail Free" cards regardless of hellacious consequences to the people of California.— February 12, 2016 3:53 a.m.
Utilities commission "violence" unacceptable
Don, they are still criminal "episodes" and "results" that utility execs, CPUC regulators and politicians must go to jail for because of the deaths and destruction of public health and safety they caused. Regular citizens who are not protected by Jerry Brown would go to jail for what these criminals have done. Things will only get much worse in California if we allow them to continue to get away with their crimes against humanity.— February 11, 2016 1:45 p.m.
Utilities commission "violence" unacceptable
Violence! Here's violence: How can we trust any California utilities, regulators and politicians after the 2010 PG&E San Bruno gas explosion deaths, the long-long-term future SCE San Onofre nuclear radiation threats to people in Orange and San Diego counties, the SoCalGas gas leaks that are seriously injuring people in Porter Ranch today, and NO ONE IS BEING PUT IN JAIL FOR GROSS CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE AND MANSLAUGHTER THAT IS DESTROYING PUBLIC SAFETY AND HEALTH THROUHOUT CALIFORNIA, that's violence!?— February 11, 2016 12:49 p.m.
Ramp-up to inquiry on Alison Canyon gas leak
Don, we've pretty much discussed this subject ad infinitum, but we have still failed to find a way to bring Brown, the Legislature, Peevey, the CPUC and the PG&E, SCE and Sempra executives who created these hellacious safety and safety hazards against the people of California to justice. There is absolutely no way we can overcome the consequences of increasingly destructive global warming consequences if we can't fix this problem now. Can journalists join together to inform, educate and motivate the public to fight back before it is too late? Journalists seem to be the absolute best professionals to make the right things happen because our politicians and academics have proven themselves unwilling to do so because they are owned and controlled by the power of money.— February 7, 2016 10:50 a.m.
Ramp-up to inquiry on Alison Canyon gas leak
Don, Paul Samuelson's textbook taught me about greed in Econ 101 and I have never forgotten that fact of life. Greed keeps proving to be fatal to the survival of the human race, as the latest debates prove daily. I keep wondering, at what point do we consider some of these candidates insane, one of them reminds me of Mussolini?— February 6, 2016 3:17 a.m.
