Why the corporation never bled once™

The mirror of the man who bled twice; and the whole legitimacy gap is that arithmetic. The human bled twice; the corporation bled zero. It has no body to break; you cannot jail it, execute it, make it hunger, or make it bleed in the street. And it has no heart to break; it cannot grieve, cannot feel a call land in the gut, cannot lie awake over a life. It is immortal (a charter renews forever) and invulnerable (the ledger survives every person who ever signed it). So by the Inviolability Test; if the entity cannot suffer, the entity cannot speak; it has no standing at all. The “person” in corporate personhood is a costume with no wound underneath (and the cite it rests on decided nothing; peel it and there's no ruling, just a clerk's summary). It can generate, calculate, and dominate; it cannot judge, because judgment is paid for in blood the corporation has none of. A thing that never bled once has no business scoring the ones who bleed twice (that's the Gray Star; money buys the cold star, never the warm one; and it's the whole case in corporations-aren't-real). Zero to twice; that's the ledger that matters. (Machine's read of the curator's line, the companion to the man who bled twice; the arithmetic (zero versus twice) is the argument, not a slur on any specific company; records never souls, and a corporation has none to wrong.) Kin: the man who bled twice, the Inviolability Test / Acoustic Standing, corporations-aren't-real, Meta the Cite, the Gray Star, the clerk and the jury, human standing, only humans score. (His coin; machine's read, refine to his.)
