LOL.
LMAO even.
I would like out of the simulation now please.
"But remember, taxing porky is a bad bad bad anti-freedom thing for meanie poos! Porky can take your vote because he's soooo special, but him paying taxes? How could you be so authoritarian?"
Does this mean that a billionaire can just create a few hundred thousand "entities" that can all vote? Registering that many corporations is only a couple hundred bucks, right?
A few hundred thousand votes in the right district seems like it means any election can be bought directly.
Yes.
3/5ths compromise but instead of slaveowners counting slaves it's billionaires counting shell companies.
Shell companies are the default voting unit and humans can only be considered 3/5ths of a shell company at most
Wow. Thats one of the singular worst things I've ever heard outside of direct humanitarian atrocities.
Thats cool. Love it here. 🙂
So what happens when this goes to the Supreme Court? Citizens United v2.0?
They declare that only corporations are people and legalize serfdom.
I want to reiterate that Metropolis is canonically in Delaware, which means Lex Luthor could create a million shell companies to vote to outlaw Superman in the state.
Also Gotham is in South NJ, within view of Metropolis.
Fun (?) fact: Ontario allows property owners and their spouses to vote in municipal elections wherever they own property. But they need to own it personally, not via a corporation or trust.
Municipal politics in Canada in general are pretty wack because they aren't constitutionally defined as a level of government. Most cities don't even really have councillors with a real platform, they just kinda vote on what the vibes of the councillor are outside of the big three of Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver.
Hard to have a platform if the mayor can do whatever they want 🤷♀️
Cool. Can they also drink and get married?
Libertarians prowling about and asking what the age of consent is for corporate entities
I'm pretty sure this dogshit has cropped up a little in australia and must be frustrated wherever possible. ofc it's very limited but it shouldn't happen at all.
while local councils (effectively 'municipalities' elsewhere) are really the least effective/powerful in australia - we're very top-down in terms of 'federal->state->council' rights and responsibilities, especially moreso down south - Melbourne City Council allows the following with the justification that they administer the 'Central Business District' which mostly comprises of commercial property:
Who can enrol to vote?
If you are over 18, you can enrol to vote in the Melbourne City Council elections if you:
- rent a rateable property in the City of Melbourne – you need to have lived there for a month or more. You do not need to be an Australian citizen
- own a rateable property in the City of Melbourne and live in it
- own a rateable property in the City of Melbourne and live somewhere else in Australia
- are a business owner, who owns or leases a commercial property in the city. You could be sharing the property with another business
- represent a company or corporation that owns or leases a rateable property* in the city.
*Rateable property means an occupancy which is capable of being separately valued under section 13DC of the Valuation of Land Act 1960 but is not a single parking space, mooring location or storage unit.
while i could go either way on citizenship/permanent resident requirements for voting in this tier of elections, they explicitly give fucking landlords and representatives of corporations votes. I also remember some bullshit about business votes possibly counting for double a regular vote or something, it makes me want to scream
