We’re People Too, Dammit!!!

We’re People Too, Dammit!!!

Gold’s Gym is permanently closing 30 locations and 24 Hour Fitness is one of many companies mulling bankruptcy as shelter-in place orders have put a hold on virtually all moneymaking activities across several industries.

I don’t know how many of you know this, but in Citizens United v. FEC (2010), the Supreme Court basically cemented that corporations are people, which was in support of previous rulings extending the 14th amendment to companies.

With the host of multi-million and -billion dollar businesses that didn’t squirrel away money for a rainy day and are now having trouble staying solvent after only a few weeks of inactivity, I guess there is some truth to the idea of corporate personhood. Like, they’re just as broke as the average person who they pay pennies to live paycheck to paycheck!
