npr is always doing fun drives...they are annoying, but the content used to be worth a donation. they are still around. don't see why it wouldn't work for others. places like HBO already don't have an issue getting people to

Another change, but one much harder to manage is that many of the products people buy today have no value left after 2-4 years and some both have no value after 2-4 years and do things degrading their performance forcing you to again purcha

PG&E is much worse than a private company. It is the weird result of heavy government regulation on the wrong most ant-competitive ways + lots of lobbying. PG&E is not subject to any free markets. Cali for example has 3 of these com

I would think it is a bit different. PG&E is not government and doesn't collect taxes. Those lines originally may have been public property, but I do not know if they still are? I know PG&E talked about burieing them a few year
