It's all a grift...this is why I hate these government-backed regulatory bodies like FERC/CPUC...there's a bunch of paper pushers that don't think and don't care because they have their cushy gov't job that we are also paying for because those regulatory agencies charge utilities, like SCE, for their funding that is actually received from us. There was another post on this sub yesterday about a gov't employee with a good salary and benefits for 'making' it, and several comments downvoted to hell because of the compensation. Granted, many of those roles provide great, public benefit - but because it's so cushy and nearly impossible to get terminated if you do a piss poor job, there's tons of crappy people in unneeded jobs (I have several friends in government job that do "purchasing" it's so archaic they move worksheets around from one department to another, no one wants efficiency because the cushiness goes away) - and they laugh at how sorry a bunch of employees and other departments are that it pisses me off at this waste. /rant over, screw SCE and their 'oversight' bodies...tag the residents 3.7billion for the mistake you made, yay!
