“Cases”, “due process”, “precedent” — these words (+ others) have meaning and power in democratic institutions and I deeply question that we’ve spent years now relating them to specific, individual corporate acts and I think we’ll live to regret that decision.
It’s not that similar concepts don’t (/ shouldn’t) exist w corporate decisions, but when we use the same terminology we are implicitly granting a sense of authority traditionally reserved for judicial institutions without, imo, fully considering or understanding the consequences
Mixing up corp/ gov rights & responsibilities didn’t start in the last week or even year. It’s been a minute. This where it’s lead so far. We can either stay on this route or we can stop the train, get off, take a look at where we’re headed, + make some affirmative decisions.
(Ugh Amie you’re talking about semantics again and it’s sooooo boring) /rant.
