Wasn't there recently a city in the us that wanted to give corporations the right to vote? Or was that satire too?
I really hope this is, I hadn't heard of it before.
Not satire, but the City of London has done something similar for a while. The thought process is you might not "live" there but you use it's infastructure and facilities while at work. Giving the employees of the companies the right to vote within the city.
'For a while' is really underselling it. They do and can do what they do because they have been doing it since time immemorial or rather for at least 2000 years.
