Corporate Personhood, all the rights of people, none of the responsibilities or jail time.
…and not a status an average person would allocate them, but for some reason judges and politicians are just that anti-humanist.
They’re pro-money more than anti-humanist. They vote with their investment portfolios more than their heads.
They are, because they’re made up of humans with human health risks. The shareholders just dont realize that yet.
“The shareholders” usually equates to a couple of insanely wealthy majority holders. The rest are mostly just regular people with regular people opinions of things.

I’m not really convinced that this would change their behavior much tbh, given that corporations are already prone to sacrificing their own financial future for short term profit increases, despite existing for nothing but financial gain.
Corporation is just a group of people extracting value on behave of the “owners”
The “leadership” always serves themselves first, that’s the entire point of the gig.
Wars would look a lot different too.
