  • yes, it does.

    They may chose to not (for example, Musk,) but yes it does. And the LLCs offer a lot of other advantages. (like, if you split it into multiple LLCs, they technically have different reporting requirements. So. like. hostile take overs.)

    The shares held by LLCs are still voting shares. and since you control the LLC, they vote the way you want. One of the big advantages is location- siting the LLC in someplace that has favorable regulations (maryland,) or tax structures (Florida, texas,) lets you live anywhere you want.

    They also provide protection against lawsuits (for example, sachler family and purdue pharma.) and that protection goes both ways, (for example, Ruddie Ghouliani’s troubles. they’re used to hide assets. a forensic accountant might find it, but not before they get protected.)

    But as for privacy; if you were careful setting it up- and hired a service out of maryland to answer the phones as a ‘representative’- then all any one would know about the LLC is that number and that rep’s office as the adress. (fun fact, there’s like two addresses used for like… most… llcs because that service is useful.)



  • You understand that most people with significantly-sized investments start using things like LLCs and trusts to invest instead of just holding it in their name? sometimes you know who owns the LLC, most times you don’t.

    And the LLC owns the shares; so that’s whose name goes on the ledger. the vast majority of even the modestly-rich spend a great deal of time, effort and money to ensure their privacy. Musk is one of the rare dumbasses that publicly broadcasts it. (probably because he’s an insecure little bitch.)















  • Wool should not be a base layer, but in the mid-layers. It can be a decent shell in lightning, and felt can hold against light rains (and will stay warm even if it does get soaked.)

    Merino wool can be considerably less scratchy than lower-quality wool; alternatively wool blends will also be better (“smart wool”).

    As a material, it can be quite hard wearing if it’s made sturdy. That’s less about the material and more about how it’s made.

    You might want to consider a shell layer that’s wind proof, but for fall, a light sweater and a shell while active should be enough unless it’s ghastly out. (Cold and rainy. That shit seeps; and nothing wholesome ever seeps.)

    Remember the critical thing is to dress in layers so you can adapt.


  • You see that scene where they’re going up to her apartment, to do the protection thing?

    She was excited to see Obi, barely remembered ani (and it wasn’t until jar jar got all happy like the drunken uncle you’re almost never allowed to see calling him by name…)

    Yeah. Obi was totally with Padme.

    Also that deleted scene with her family and the emphatic “we’re not dating”.

    And those straight up incel pick up lines….

    anakin totally dominated her mind to get with her. (And the terrible lines working… was lowkey genius,)
