121. No problem with corporations. It's just that they aren't people.

And because they are created by nation-states, they should have to go to the courts in the nation-states they want to sue to get a settlement for their grievances.

Either that or citizens of a nation-state from which they move jobs or against which they commits some other civil wrong that causes the citizen an injury should be able to sue the corporation in the same kind of court that the corporation can sue the individual.

If a corporation can sue a country for lost potential profits or lost actual profits in a special TPP or NAFTA or other international trade court due to some internal decision by the government or people of that country, then if that corporation decides to pick up a plant and move it to Mexico, that corporation should owe the employees that lose their jobs because of the plant's move for the lost wages.

What is good for the goose is good for the gander.
