Corporate people go on for years polluting neighbors with toxins and it requires a monumental, expensive legal effort to stop or restrain them. Often they are excused because they “give people jobs”.

“Corporate personhood” is a Frankenstein’s monster which, like its original, has the potential to destroy its creators while laying waste to the polity and its environs–and its environment.
