What the fuck are we doing Delaware?
Delaware itself is just a shell corporation, tbh
Delaware, Inc.
A Delaware Corporation
Zappa said something like, "They’ve moved the tables and chairs out of the way and pulled the curtains back so we can see the brick wall at the back of the theater.
Zappa was libertarian, iirc, but that was when the word hadn’t been bastardized, yet.
Grifting for tax dollars. They are cucks for businesses. There are less people than businesses and the state government knows what side their bread is buttered on
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.
Here’s a fun way to fast track this descent into corporate hell: one vote per share.
I am going to incorporate a new company and issue eleventy billion shares to myself
New rule: incorporating now costs $100,000 per share. Pre-existing corporation are exempt from this fee, of course.
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.
No no no, those rules are for people. Silly peasant. Corporate people don’t have to do those silly things
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?
I also never see companies go to jail.
Bold of you to assume slavery is illegal in America. Every “prisoner witha job” in a for-profit prison is a victim of the 13th amendment.
That assumes a corporation can be convicted of a crime.
Bold of you to make the same exact comment made on Lemmy every single time slavery is mentioned.
Absolutely fair lmao, I was braindead and cranky at the time.
How can you vote as an individual and corporate entity? Could one not just incorporate hundreds of companies just to annihilate other voters?
There are more businesses than people in Delaware. The registered businesses outnumber the population 2:1.
This blatantly renders human voters meaningless without businesses to back your opinion.
As people have been saying for years, I’ll believe corporations are people when Texas executes one.
So… if I own a company and spin off… oh, lets say a million shell corporations, have I generated a million voters?
So if you’re a CEO you get two votes?
This is what this seems like to me…
No, if you’re a CEO you get as many votes as you can set up shell corporations for.
The logic of free speech applying to corporations is that they are an extension of their operators, making restrictions to them effectively restrictions on the operators.
This is way more wild. This gives corporations people-rights distinct from their operators.
Why go through all the trouble of simulating that you have a Democracy by having Money sponsoring politicians in a system where only a few politicians can de facto be elected, when you can have Money just directly vote?!
Seems a lot more efficient if you remove intermediary steps and middlemen.
Also removing all the smoke & mirrors is a lot more honest.
I am actually surprised they’ve become so open about the system being an Oligarchy rather than a Democracy.
If companies can vote, they should be subject to the death penalty like everyone else.

Ok, and if they’re people then we can apply legal ramifications to them, right? Right?!?!

So let me get this straight… Corporations have the right to vote all the while the government is trying to purge registered voters from the polls? How long until the fucking corporations end up with multiple votes due to size?
Ah, taking a play out of the ol’ “City Of London” book!
