> This is so sad, really. We are NOT companies

That's true, although, in a way, I think it's reasonable for the parent commentor to want to identify as a corporation if that's what they feel like.

Are there preferred pronouns for corporate identities? Perhaps people would display a personal stock ticker symbol instead?

Hah! I hadn’t intended that at all but this is hilarious.

I wonder if the IRS would play along: “I identify as a corporation so you may only tax me on my profits not my income”

Well, without agreeing or disagreeing yet: if corporate personhood is considered valid, then perhaps personal corporatehood should be as well.

(in practice: there are probably a lot of reasons why it's a terrible idea)
