Once a company goes public any more it is operated for maximizing ther profit of the CEOs, Boards and their really big stock holdings.
Quality goes out the door and prices go up and service goes down. This has been repeated so many times over the last three decades, I'm surprised everyone hasn't seen it. It is the same mentality and greed that gives us Chinese junk. There are no enforced quality standards and no commitment to quality. Wall Street is the major part of the shadow government and if nothing is done in all respects to it's conduct will bring down the Republic by itself.
