Won’t somebody think of the poor company facing the consequences of its own actions.
It’s mad isn’t it, what use is it fining them anyway, they will just make the customers pay and still pay out their dividends and bonuses.

Nationalise them all. They’ve been syphoning off funds for their shareholders for decades. Time to put those profits where they should actually be used, improving the pipes and fixing shit, and any excess going towards other national infrastructure.
get nationalized idiot

Poor things, they must be down to their last few millions by now.
