I wish this wasn't private investment. Would be great if smaller investors had more opportunities to get involved

There have been attempts but when corporations are considered people limitations on their "speech" all eventually fail

I hate this phrasing.

Corporations aren't people.

The finding was that people dont lose their rights when working together via a corporation.

If you can buy a political sign and your friend can buy a sign, then the two of you can buy a sign together.


The issue is then the theoretical contract of the two of you together takes no real repercussion for breaking the law, whereas separately if you committed crimes independently then you could be put in jail. We don’t have capital punishment for corporations, and we should.

How does that argue against people still having rights.

Corporate death penalty exists, it is called bankruptcy. It is called criminal liability and people are put in jail.

You just seem to disagree with how harsh (or not) the penalties are. However, that doesn't say anything about taking away rights.


This idea isn't just from one source but that doesn't mean another implementation isn't worthy.

We did similar at a company I worked for 15 yrs ago
