California Eyeing Expropriation of Pacific Gas & Electric [semi-satire]
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 17 Feb 2019 | John Semmens

Faced with a huge shortfall between revenues and expenditures, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) is putting together a "Strike Team" to seize the bankrupt PG&E utility.

As Newsom sees it, "expropriation will help reduce the State's budget deficit. First, upon taking ownership we will repudiate the debts of this corporation and relieve ourselves of the obligation to pay back money lent to the company. Second, we will then breakdown and sell all the assets for cash. Friends tell me that the copper wires that carry electricity to homes and businesses bring a good price in the resale market."

The Governor said he hopes "to use the funds from the sale of PG&E's assets to tear down the fencing between California and Mexico and re-install it on our eastern border with Nevada and Arizona to impede the out-migration of citizens fleeing rats, humans defecating in the streets, open drug use and high taxes plaguing our sanctuary state."

Former Texas Congressman Beto O'Rourke (D) praised Newsom's plan to reunite California with Mexico and offered to stage a rally for reconquista near the State's southern border. "I am 100% behind anything that my Mexican supporters want," he said. "If they want to become American citizens, I'll support that. If they want to take back California, Texas and other lands stolen from them, I'll support that. It's time we right the historical wrongs the United States has done to Mexico and Mexicans."

In related news, the Denver City Council voted unanimously to legalize defecating in the streets. Mayor Michael Hancock explained "we are trying to make our City a more enticing destination for immigrants coming from countries where taking a dump in the open air is a privilege they've long been accustomed to enjoy."

Gavin will be competing against MS13 and other “social clubs” to obtain all of that copper.

The only reason this might not happen is that it would end the massive bribes the politicians now collect from the corporation for the state’s “highly favorable regulation” —- ?

After they’re done pulling the copper out of the wires, they’ll have to very carefully dispose of all the insulation — much of it comes with big tags that say that it’s known to cause cancer in California. (And that’s the truth.)

Maybe they can give it to Mexico.

PGE’e first step should be to Disconnect All of their Power lines that travel through any forested areas. then offer to SELL them to any municipality that wishes to have Electricity, thereby Transferring ALL Liability to the City or County itself.

This is true! He’s also spending $100 million on training and hiring illegals for the new MG8E( MexiGasand Electric) which will coincide with California’s new name Sinaloa de la Norte. Soon there will be greenhouses full of Opium poppies and Fentynal dispensaries next door to the clean needle programs that now dot the landscape.

Newsome* does realize that the Great Seizer of Stuff (Hugo Chavez) is dead and probably burning in Hell, doesn’t he?

*Newsome must’ve been a gigantic jerk for somebody as hot as Guilfoyle to be married to him.
