What is corporate personhood?
Corporate personhood, also known as juridical personality, is a legal concept that grants corporations many of the same rights and responsibilities as natural persons. A natural person can lobby, be sued, and sue others.
Shouldn't it be obvious who businesses work with? For example, if a company uses Cesar Pizza to feed its workers, that partnership exists. If companies team up in significant ways, especially for influence like lobbying, that should be public. It could even be part of their basic business description or model. You know how people, as "persons," can change. But these corporations don't change their business models at all, even though they are legally persons who can lobby and be sued. So, if we don't know these connections, and given the current confusing political climate where everyone claims expertise, basic transparency is missing. At the very least, companies should tell the public where they are getting there food from, and maybe whom they are working with.
I am getting to this moment where I have no power in the conversation. Corporations have all the power. So, if they have all the power, we need our kids to know their rights. We need our kids to be lawyers to fight a real fight, to fight for the right to food. That's crazy to say.
From what I want you to take from this: Law and order should be taught in grade school. Kids need to be ready to be lawyers because opinions change, society changes, but every business model does not?
But a person changes. Why can't a business model change if corporations are considered "persons" in a legal aspect?
This is where you show up. You need to voice your opinion. I can't; I won't. You need to challenge the narrative.
