The company's plan relies on coverage from the fund created last summer to insulate PG&E and other utilities from losses caused by future wildfires that could be ignited by their transmission lines. That specter looms large, given that PG&E’s outdated equipment and managerial negligence has been blamed for the series of deadly wildfires that raged through Northern California in 2017 and 2018, killing dozens.

Let’s not understate it, even inadvertently—PG&E killed over 100 people in 18/19.

If they’re allowed to emerge from this intact, chances are they’ll kill many more.

cheaping out on maintenance may have killed a bunch of people, but it also made a lot of money for shareholders and executives, so, it's impossible to say whether it was good or bad

yeah lets not forget PG&E was pumping out 1 billion a year in shareholder dividends alone for the last 13 years. That's not even getting into lavish executive compensation and hideously overpaid and lavish mid/upper-management.

I work closely with Paradise, assisting with certain aspects of their rebuilding effort. People are slowly trickling back, but much of the town still looks like a scene from Fallout a year after the Camp Fire. There are opportunities in rebuilding, but it’ll be decades before it even begins to resemble a thriving community again.

What's being done to increase the number of exit routes? Is that even possible?

There are four main exit routes from Paradise and under every circumstance that isn’t an all-consuming conflagration ripping through the entire town without warning, that’s sufficient. It costs tens of millions of dollars to add additional lanes and they’d be going unused 99.99% of the time, so it’s a hard sell.

They’re undergrounding utilities along the main corridors to reduce the risk of road obstructions, but there’s only so much you can do from an evacuation perspective to prepare for an event like the Camp Fire where the entire town needs to escape at the same time.

So how are people dealing with the Gig-pocalypse?

While I've seen more articles from freelance journalists about freelance journalists than anything, a lot of my friends in the industry are saying it's going to kill hollywood freelancing.

A cleansing fire if you ask me.


More realistically though I'm sure it's going to be tied up in a lawsuit, then carved out dramatically, and delayed from being enforced like ab51 has been.

It's already been put on hold for truck drivers, and I wager there are many more preliminary injunctions to come as every industry potentially touched by AB5 files suit.

Yeah, my gigging musician friends have been freaking out about it and apparently an amendment is on the books for them. I’m not sure what to make of it; it reads like scaremongering to me from the big players but I don’t gig so I don’t really know what it’s like.

If they're getting employed for gigs by a venue/bar AB5 wouldn't impact them at all. One of the tests is whether a contractor is doing work that is core to the business.

If the band owner is subcontracting a separate agreement out to each player in the band that would be impacted.
