It used to be called "Granny farming"

A way to a quick profit.

Like water and energy, essential utilities- they should never be for profit.

It's disgusting, but paying yourself dividends if you have a business is quite common.

Which is precisely why this 'government' has zero interest in the public sector and wants to privatise everything in sight.

I know. I'm not justifying it in anyway. It really stinks.
