Yes, and that corporations have the same rights as people, but can’t face the same consequences.

The fines for wrongdoing are so tiny the incentives are to always do bad stuff and just pay the fines - that’s how to maximize profit and there’s no downside.

Except when it comes time to speak in private with other people, speak for other people so they may obtain privacy, speak for sex work, speak for drugs, speak at banks, speak to people in other countries, refuse to speak to government, etc. Then it's very serious Money which has Very Important Regulations. Regulations which always seem to burden regular individuals while facilitating business as usual for those with power who can grease the system.

FWIW I think the "money is speech" is actually a bit of a distraction. What we really need is wholesale reform to corporate/LLC law. Corpos are not mere groups of people exercising their individual rights, but government-created liability shields. Thus it makes perfect sense to regulate them to prevent obvious mechanisms of harm that leave others holding the bag. The vaunted "man in the arena" needing minimal regulation can actually get into that arena with a sole proprietorship or general partnership. (which is exactly where most small businesses actually are, regardless of any LLC filings)

What, never heard the term "money talks" before?
