Holy shit that is insane

Judge rules Fenwick Island's corporate voting does not dilute human votes

So I can buy a building and sell closet space to other companies (which I also own) for infinite voting power. This is absurd.

What’s preventing a megacorp from buying a bunch of small shell companies and voting in their own best interest?

I am curious how the voting actually works, though.

Or every citizen to register ten corps each and fight back with more votes... Won't end well, no matter.

Apparently you also have to own land so average folks are hosed.

There it is. 😐

Yeah, it seems like a very simple argument that since every individual owner of a corporation gets a vote, that the owners as a group should not get an additional vote.

I mean, the courts are no longer about what's logical or fair, obviously, but still.
