Corporate bullies.

They invade communities that have the water the company wants to buy. They will lie and do anything to get the water rights.

They used to send (and maybe they still do) women masquerading as nurses into third world hospitals, to sell formula to the impoverished new moms. They would tell these new moms that their formula was superior to any human milk, and the moms would take the free samples. Of course, they discovered that the formula was way expensive, so they would water it down to extend it. And by then, their own good milk was dried up...

Bastards.
