Reply to comment by JonBonFucki in On Whether “Personhood” is a Normative or Descriptive Concept by ADefiniteDescription

No it does not protect the people that “run” the company, it protect the people that “own” the company.

a distinction without a difference but thanks for your interesting addition. Have you never heard of a board of directors removing a CEO based on shareholder votes? That's running the company by the people who own it.

How is that running the company? By your logic, the president is voted by the American people, that mean to the people is running the government? That is called exercising ownership right. The shareholders don’t run the company, but they have limited control over it. You either lack the most basic understanding of how corporate ownership(and ownership in general) work or are being willfully ignorant to support your flimsy argument.

Are you talking about America? The country once described as Of the People, By the People, For the People. That country? The people aren't running that government? Stop proving my points and work on your own.

How is that slogan equal to the people making all the decisions of the government? What do you think “running” something mean? If you own a car, then you lend that car to friend to drive, who do you think is driving the goddam car? Just bcs you own the car, and have the right to take back the car if you so choose, doesn’t mean you are “running” the car. And if your friend kill someone with your car without your knowledge, you don’t take responsibility for your friend action. Does that make sense? Or I suggest you go read a book or something. Its not my job to be your teacher.
