I said what I said

People tried to get corporations to “use their platform”, some started doing that at the annoyance and exclusion of employees that werent interested in having those unrelated causes and discussions in the workday while being told “silence means you’re against us and for whatever we’re against today”

The corporation does not exist for that and is a conduit for revenue exclusively

Some other type of organization is more suited for that, they exist. It may be incompatible with someone’s ability to exchange time for food and shelter but thats exclusively their problem

So its nice to see more examples of complete and immediate excision, a reversion to the mean




> The corporation does not exist for that and is a conduit for revenue exclusively

As god decreed. Was that on the 5th day? I lost count. Corporations are human creations and as such are malleable.


The corporate form has been and is now, legally, an enterprise to return financial value to shareholders. Corporations are routinely sued when they stray from that. People with a different vision should change the law rather than be continually surprised.


Fiduciary responsibility is a myth. Company officers basically have to yell into a megaphone “I am making this decision to harm the company, there are no possible upsides to the company for this action” to be liable.
