Corporate Personhood, all the rights of people, none of the responsibilities or jail time.

....and not a status an average person would allocate them, but for some reason judges and politicians are just that anti-humanist.

They're pro-money more than anti-humanist. They vote with their investment portfolios more than their heads.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
