Yeah, corporations were somehow made legally “people” for a number of purposes. Except corporations like a power utility can kill scores of people but you cannot put a corporation in jail and somehow none of the people running the corporation go to jail, because, you know, it’s just “one of those things”.

Corporations will be “people” too when they can receive a death sentence.

For corporations guilty of killing people, I propose they be lobotomized; fry all the top executives.
