My issue with this take is that companies have used leverage and lobbying to get to define when a company isn't a single entity and when it is not, always in their advantage. For example, a company is involved in a human death: the company is suddenly not a single entity and is instead simply part of this complex system of moving parts out of which emerged a human death. As another example, a corporation wants to donate to politicians (for "reasons"): the company is suddenly a single entity and even individual (!) who has constitutional rights to political donations.

Companies flip flop back and forth between them being a collective and individual at will and to their singular benefit.



1. Company is doing good --> Company is a single, good individual doing good

2. Company is doing bad --> Someone inside the company must have been bad, company would have prevented it but was powerless, because #1
