i am surprised by your opinion

it is fundamentally and deeply inconsistent to support consumer privacy except for joe six pack’s LLC for his general contracting business

financial privacy is hugely more important than google knowing whether i buy tide or downy

> inconsistent to support consumer privacy except for joe six pack’s LLC

Those aren't the same at all. An LLC is a privilege created under state laws and it's perfectly reasonable for those states to require records that the public can access in exchange for that privilege and the benefits it offers.

Having consumer privacy is good for the American public. Having access to know who owns an LLC is also good for the American public. Perfectly consistent.

why do you believe that knowing who owns it is good for the public in all cases? business owners are also a part of the public, you know, while megacorps like google aren’t so much
