The blanket assertion that corporations are people obfuscates the complex issues at play in the changing business world. Corporation are institutions. People are people.
I do not understand how it is that financial institutions could think that they could take taxpayer money and then turn around and act like it’s business as usual.

I don’t care about the internal political system of the United States. I want to be a friend of United States, of its baseball, its institutions, its rock and roll, its workers, and its technology because we need it.
