Corporations are not under the control of a single human. This is like saying humans don’t exist because they’re made up of cells

Corporations are not people, however.

Corporations aren't people?

Well, corporations aren't humans, contrary to what some might try to argue.

Corporations are not people. They are constructs.

Corporations are not people.

Corporations are not people.

Corporations are not people.

Corporations are not entities born out of their control. They are constructed, deliberately, to maximize profit at a cost that does not exceed that profit. That's all. They are not people and they do not have any sort of rights, or at least they shouldn't.

It's completely the opposite. Only humans can take action and make decisions. A "corporation" is at most a piece of paper in some filing cabinet. It is essential in life to understand the difference between what exists and what does not exist. A corporation is an abstraction that is 100% under human control. It is something that doesn't exist.

But corporations are people?

And yet corporations are people.

But... corporations are people.

> A corporation is a group of people

No, it is not. Not any more than a person is a group of cells.

Corporation is a completely different creature than a person, even though it's composed of many people (though note that only partially, as corporation is also composed of procedures and processes, and probably some other elements).


corporations are people...
