Dude, you can't just penalize a corporation. That would be commiesocialism or something.

According to the government, "Corporations are people too."

I'll believe a corporation is a person when The Texas department of corrections executes one.

I'll believe a corporation is a person when one is successfully murdered. I don't care who does it.

And just like real people. They’re dead when they have no more money.

Back then, both in the US and the UK, the liberal philosophers of the times considered it an infringement on property rights to restrict the buying and selling of slaves. Liberalism: A Counter-History goes over the debates at the time.

You wouldn't molotovcocktail a car (just because it's putting everyone's safety at risk simply by existing)

Surely there is a leftist or unhoused person that could be scapegoated and punished for this.

I believe the federal gubment just declared being anti capitalism is considered an act of terror or something.

If FDR was still alive, they'd execute him for "terrorism"
