For one, it can get you thrown into a gulag by U.S. border patrol, or jailed in any of the states and countries that require one’s birth certificate to match a bathroom door sign.

Feet have non-zero surface area so there’s still room for an electric potential between the near and far side of the foot. It’d be smaller so that isn’t an entirely terrible idea, but it is by no means foolproof.
Part of the problem is that we have two feet. When lightning strikes the ground nearby, it creates a difference in electric potential between the foot that’s closest to the impact point and the more distant one. If that potential is great enough, then an electric currect can jump through one’s shoe, go up into the body then down the other leg and back to ground.
Laying down only increases the surface area in contact with the ground, so the best thing to do is get inside.

Where else do you imagine dividends come from?
Employees and customers, just like every corporation ever.
It’s not for the communities, it’s for the shareholders-to-come.
It’s not really for communities either, it’s for locking communities into a corporate platform.
When accused of crimes, deflect by admitting to even bigger crimes.
So you agree that it’s wrong, but you think it should be encouraged anyway?
