Paradise CA - PG&E settlement is totally messed up

PG&E announced its plans to enter Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in
January 2019, ten weeks after its equipment sparked the Camp Fire,
which killed at least 85 people and destroyed almost 19,000 homes and
businesses in and around Paradise. The settlement with tens of
thousands of fire victims resulted from those proceedings.

(I figure it takes about a month or two to totally rebuild a home -
the Amish do it in 1 weekend I think - so if there was a nation wide
mobilization, all of them homes could have been rebuilt a year ago -
but they have not been rebuilt)
