It's gotten so bad where I am that our utility company raised rates
after being found the negligent cause of several large, fatal brush
fires. Raised rates several times to pay for repairs, after doing
massive stock buybacks. Went bankrupt during the Enron scandal because
of horrendous contracts. Transferred BILLIONS of dollars to their
parent company before doing so. Recently proposed the 6th increase in 2
years to "more adequately compensate their shareholders". (paraphrasing
their words)

They don't even care about appearances any more.
