thank goodness that's not your job. I don't have any interest in baseless conjecture and whining.

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.

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.

You made some wild conjecture here. I did not say that companies should not exist. But you cannot prove that a company needs to be a person in order to produce things. At least you have not tried to. People own companies. People can enter into contracts. People can be sued. The only thing a company getting to be a person does is protect the people that run the company from the liability of their actions.

don't forget the fact that pain and suffering as we understand them cannot continue past death so technically anyone suffering in pain can have their life improved by killing them.

it's a question of personhood outside of humanity. Can AI be sentient? Can animals evolve enough on this planet that they become sentient? What about aliens from other planets? Sure, if we are seeing them they built spaceships and came here but are they persons? Are they sentient? What does it even mean to be a person? Those are questions important to philosophy and they can be examined looking at animals on this planet here and now as well as these pie in the sky conceptual situations.

all of those examples are good for capitalism and bad for society. that actually checks out for why we have them though.
