A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

If companies were really treated like people, they'd be in jail right now - at least in the US. But they wouldn't come out reformed, just beaten and bruised, ready to commit more crimes.

The point of treating companies like people is so no one in those companies can be held accountable. The worst case for them that the intangible "coorporation" did something wrong and now it has to go away, so the entire board moves to a new company under a new name that owns the same properties and has the same practices. Only now they have practice obfuscating their crimes.
What ends lives and careers for people are just a minor inconvinience to coorporations.
The CEO of a corporation should be the living embodiment of that corp. Kind of like Subway in Community
