30. Yeah, I did go down that road

that owning shares in a corporate person would violate the 13th Amendment, but when you read the text of the 13th and the court rulings on slavery, they have an out (their "servitude" is voluntary).

In the course of researching this angle, I learned of the 1988 ruling in UNITED STATES v. KOZMINSKI, where, when you strips away all the tortured legalese, we learn that it is possible to legally own someone.
