    The sad thing is that corporations have more rights (quantitatively) than humans.

    • Can offset tax liability through complex structures
    • While they cannot vote, they can effectively hide their identity behind Super PACs
    • Any criminal liability results in fines, never jail time for anyone in charge
    • in fact, all corporate executives benefit from liability shield, so long as their actions can be tied back to benefit the company in any way
    • Can own just about anything a human can own, with the added benefit that they belong to the company. Digital rights (e.g. books, movies, etc.) legally belong to an entity that cannot die.
