    It does.

    However, corporations are not people when it comes to consequences.

    It’s yet another classic example of socialize the risk, privatize the profit.

      This. Corporations on paper should have consequences like a person. In practice, they can do whatever they want, because the US Government worships capitalism. More so than the people.

        If corporations are people, they should be able to be given the death sentance. I can think of a few that are directly responsible for the deaths of a lot of people, and all they had to do was pay some fines/lawsuits. DuPont comes to mind.

        I honestly might make a non-profit that just makes everyone resisting this regime into a corporate entity.

        I’ma dumb-fuck so help is needed.

          Fun idea, unfortunately what empowers those corporations, besides the system they thrive in, is the fact that they have immense wealth commandeered by a select few, not their sole legal status.
