The problem now isn't even corporate personhood. It's that corporations are treated BETTER that people. A person who ruins thousands of lives will go to jail. A corporation that does it will be fined, at best. People will eventually die. Corporations get bailed out. People get to vote. Corporations hire lobbyists and spend billions of dollars buying politicians who then ignore their own constituents. We have to get corporations out of politics, and we have to start holding them accountable for their actions.
My suggestion? Make politician a less profitable profession. Maybe then we can elect people interested in conservation and equality. Anything would be better than what we have now.
