  1. Just ban all profits or require it all gets spent on improving the service too, fuck companies that profit from basic human rights.

  2. Good. Frustrating to hear that the shareholders dividends equals the amount they are short on infrastructure spending.

    Leeches.

  3. About bloody time. How can they award bonuses and pay dividends if the only way that money is available is by not managing the infrastructure, and commiting environmental crimes (and if dumping raw sewage into a river or lake isn’t a crime then it damn well should be).

  4. They should just nationalise them already. Fining people isn’t going to repair crumbling infrastructure it just makes the company uninvestable.

  5. CEOs going to prison would set a bad precident…

    I assume is going to be an argument made in our future.
