Well, that's one way for States to make a pittance from rich people.

Every rich person will now open 99 bs companies to vote 100 times.

Just as God intended.

Each employee can represent 3/5 of a vote!

Okay, they have the right to vote, but HOW do they vote? If my mom wants to vote, I can't go vote in her place as a proxy, so a person couldn't vote in proxy for a corp. Does a company have to be 18 years old to vote? In Delaware you need a state ID or a social security number to vote. Can they get those? So many nonsensical leaps in logic have to be made to make this possible.

Corporations get special treatment, like kids with AIDS at waterparks.

They skip the line. No ID required.

In the US, people are second class citizens to corporations

[-] BetaBlake@lemmy.world 1 points 7 minutes ago

Can a corporation have an ID? Can a corporation have a social Security number? If a corporation dies can I burn it in a crematory to make ashes or bury it in the ground?

This is such horseshit

Sweet so if I have a bunch of Delaware corporations I can vote a bunch of times.

It's possible that he's actually interpreting the law correctly. It's just that the laws on this crap in Delaware are clearly batshit insane.

There's a reason Delaware is picked by so many companies to incorporate.

Yep. But if it makes you feel any better, there was never a time when you weren’t.

We are one Super PAC dark money donation away from the Bill of Rights becoming the Bill of Privileges.

It already is. And was. Not everyone gets the benefit of them, particularly if you dont have a white dick.

[-] schipelblorp@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago

I'm white, but my dick is significantly darker for some reason I never understood.... just in case this is meant as synecdoche and not specific case law.

This is treason

[-] Fishnoodle@lemmy.world 9 points 3 hours ago

So then if you form a do nothing LLC, do you get an extra vote?

[-] moondoggie@lemmy.world 13 points 3 hours ago

I wonder how much of this is blowback from Hawaii kicking their asses.

[-] vk6flab@lemmy.radio 31 points 4 hours ago

Wonderful .. in addition to ~~bribing~~ lobbying politicians they can now vote for them.

[-] Know_not_Scotty_does@lemmy.world 11 points 3 hours ago

A "novel" ruling... Yeah that's one way to put it...
