    If companies can vote, have free speech rights, and are people then why is it legal for one company to own another? Isn’t that slavery?

    And given most C-suite consult LLMs heavily, were now on the slope to where robot overlords run the show.

    Would it be best? Debatably not. Would it be better than Trump? Of course.

    How? Wouldn’t they have to go through a voter registration process that requires a voter id and ss#, and who casts the vote? The CEO or someone selected from the board?.. and couldn’t some rich asshole just start a whole bunch of corporations to give themselves as many votes as they want? This blatantly goes against the one person one vote principle.

      The wild thing is that because of Delaware’s tax laws, a LOT of businesses are registered in that state. This is honestly bonkers to me.

    “A novel ruling,” Christ almighty.

    Karsnitz dismissed the lawsuit from Delaware’s Superior Court, citing “the principle of one person/entity/one vote.”

    This is how you get people to bring back dragging someone into the street and horsewhipping them. I’m not advocating it, it’s just the natural response some people are going to have to being told corporations get to vote in a state with more corporations than people.

    So… if I own a company and spin off… oh, lets say a million shell corporations, have I generated a million voters?
