    That was only one example, but in such cases as you note, silent partners may not be legal owners of a business; if they are, then I would assume they have presigned authorizations, granting someone else (as the CEO), the right to act in their behalf. Requiring such legal releases, with every stock trade, would be highly problematic.

    To take one other hypothetical, what if the corporation wanted to take out a large loan? If the assets of the business are not considered to be possessed by a single entity, the bank would need to gather personal financial data on all the stockholders. If you wanted to buy shares in a company, would you be willing to sign a paper, making yourself partly liable for any debts, incurred by the CEO?

    'Its too complicated' never seems to be a sticking point when the govt makes new safety regulations, payroll tax regulations or health insurance mandates. If 'they'll figure it out' is good enough for govt regs, its good enough for investing outside of a fake legal entity scaegoat.

    He's mostly a loser that doesn't like losing.
    Typical of extreme narcissism.

    Very low self esteem and worth.

    Way to keep bringing up non related things.
    It doesn't make those other unfounded claims anymore true.

    Oh I see how this works. Does posting a quote on tiktok or fox mean you didn't say the quote?

    Bruh.

    Maybe it's high time the democratic party stopped trying to dictate their social policies onto other states? It's kind of...you know? Authoritarian.

    Well yes, his main motive is power and self aggrandizement, but his method is through populist Make America Great Again, whether he actually believes it or not his followers do. That is a subjective belief and his followers may have in mind a world without abortion, a world where the races knew their place, where the LGBTers remained closeted, marriage was between a man and woman or Christian values went unquestioned. They are still following that vision and he is using it to say their attack on me is attacking you.

    He is the voice of his people. He wants to change society by taking it back to when it was “great” but the elites are trying to stop him. The MAGA supporters are the superior group and what makes this country great. They attack with threats of violence and bulling those that disagree or call out the lies. Sounds fascist to me.

    You are easily triggered. Trying to walk on a high ground that you do not possess.

    He doesn't look like he's crying. He's saying "stop meddling in other countries social policies"

    And he's right.

    None of your business bruh.

    If they don't want races to mix...that's on them bruh. People can elect the leaders they want who will push the policies and ideals they ran on.

    Not. Your. Business, Bruh.

    Um, no. No it doesn't. It specifically mentions examples of those already there, with the rule being made retro-active. For instance they note,
    "The Pentagon has said a small number of U.S. troops are stationed at the American embassy in Kyiv, working as its security detail and accounting for billions of dollars of military equipment the U.S. is sending to Ukraine.

    A small U.S. special operations team working out of the embassy helps Ukrainian troops with intelligence operations and provides security for high-level visitors, but is not fighting alongside Ukrainian troops on the battlefield, ABC News reported in April."

    ...
    Sounds like Vietnam and Afghanistan all over again.[/QUOTE]

    Excuse me? The US did not invade Ukraine, Russia did and so if you want to use an analogy try just like Russia in Georgia, Afghanistan, Syria. They are an illegal invading and occupying force breaking numerous international laws.

    Ukraine has rebelled against a Russian puppet dictatorship and illegal control and invasion of its country by Putin. That is not at all what happened in Vietnam.

    Why do you not discuss the Iranians, North Koreans, Chinese, South Africans, Indians, etc., who were or are in Moscow transferring weapons? Hmmmm?

    By the way how is Ukraine like Vietnam finish your analogy. You really think the US is the only other NATO military presence with liaisons and advisors in Ukraine?

    Even my country Canada has a not so secret military force of 600 advisors on the ground training Ukrainians. No we were not in Vietnam. Give it a rest with your ridiculous attempts to invert the US and Russia roles in this conflict.

    The US is not operating on its own and is working in full alliance with NATO. In fact other NATO countries are providing as much if not more military hardware to assist Ukraine.

    When I see someone doing wrong in the street, I'm supposed to stop them even when it doesn't directly affect me. That's how civilization works. In fact, that's one of the things that makes civilization possible.
