If the government can't do something, but a private business can, what happens? The government will coerce private businesses to do it with the excuse, "Hey, it isn't us."
That's how they're taking away free speech on social media.
No. Even private businesses should have to respect human rights. Period. No excuses.
Not until the way businesses are recognized is changed, you don't understand how it works.
To state and fed govt, businesses are living entities. They have their own numbers (TINs instead of SSNs), a license (similar to birth certificate), and for all intents and purposes on paper a business is like a person, with most all rights and privileges.
How do you think a business can own land and assets? They can make their own rules on what happens with their stuff, and on their land? They can enter into agreements and contracts, just like people.
To state and federal govts, they are so similar, there is hardly any difference between the two (civil liberties and such, but for the purposes of this im glossing over). If you can regulate things on companies, you can regulate it on people. This is part of how the system is broken, but is a part all the same.
If you say you can force stuff on independent companies, there is a chance you can on individuals too. In many ways you can, but you do NOT want to continue to erode businesses rights. Same with people.
People can act like dicks, you have a right to. Doesn't mean you will have friends. Businesses can also be dicks, that is the owners right. Doesn't mean he'll be in business for long, or not suffer consumer wrath, maybe even lawsuits depending on how dickish. Examples: disney, Twitter, meta.
As soon as the govt can force a business to do something, you can also force them to make cakes for gay weddings. And supporting that, my fren, would make you a progressive liberal commie nut job.
But I think it's more that you just haven't thought it through.
Be at peace, and be excellent to each other.
I just think that it should be better resolved by preventing the government from making any such incentives, positive or negative, from privately owned businesses.
Only problem is, who holds the government accountable? Who enforces it? Which one takes the punishment?
Man, government is pretty shit.
There's an old saying that goes something like, "government is the worst way to protect rights, except for all the others."
Something like that, I can't remember exactly, lol.
A corporation can effectively live forever and can’t go to jail if they kill someone. The rules should be stricter for corporations.
Agreed, and the inherent rules need changed as well.
By making businesses more like people so they can operate in the world, people are de-humanized and treated more like business entities. Lifeless, soulless things. Not how it was supposed to be.
