This is very Cyberpunk, I can't wait for a Delaware city to allow LLCs to run for seats on the council or to become the mayor (several-dozen votes per controlling entity may help!)

In my imagination, the first thing Mayor Blackrock 9754 LLC will do is approve a referendum to phase out residential zoning for new developments, next comes the requisite Japanese tech corps, holographic ads and perpetual night. I never imagined this would be set in Delaware - but it sort of tracks.

Turns out we're fine with turning our world into a dystopia as long as that dystopia has predictable chancery courts.

Remove the "corporation" part and it kinda gets reasonable again. Would you vote for a group of people to be your representative? I might.

What about if the group of people is investors who don't have the best interests of the population in mind, but instead, only profits?
