    Apparently there are already other towns in Delaware that do this.

    why would letting this slide make the courts dumb? Judges are bourgeois scumbags. The laws of the land exist to protect bourgeois scumbags. This law would further benefit bourgeois scumbags. Bourgeois scumbags acting in their own class interests aren't "dumb." The real question is whether we're going to do anything about it.

      I think because something like this has the potential to be massively destabilizing.

    Honestly, not that different from the notion that you have to own land to have the right to vote.

    So uhh. What counts as a "business". Anything that is officially an LLC?

    Like, my point here is that 1 person can own many businesses with essentially the same people in all of them. Can someone create 500 businesses that all get votes?

    Even the courts aren't dumb enough to let this slide, right?

    Figuring out a way to register a body pillow as a corporation so that your waifu can legally vote.

      Depending on the state it can cost between 0-500$ to register an LLC. Be real funny to register 20-30,000 LLCs, establish them all out of a PO box in town, and vote in a dog for mayor.

    It is certainly one way to remove the votes of the actual workers. Doesn't matter if the workers vote against the things the companies want. Though I am curious if a company is just allowed one vote, or if it is multiple based on amount of employees? We are over here losing protections and these companies that aren't in any legal way required to put actual people first before profits are gaining more and more of them.

    If corporations are people, then constitutionally they can be enslaved for doing crimes.

    Worth thinking about.
