Not when they’re funneled through states like Wyoming and Nevada which an enormous amount of them are… both have very good privacy laws protecting the owners identity. Often times there will be a local LLC which is owned by (at least one) separate out of state LLC in Nevada or Wyoming obfuscating who the true owners are. There’s a whole industry behind this.
That is in progress: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_transparency#United_...
It’s only a non-issue only if you have legal standing and the wherewithal/funding to push through to discovery, which in this case is a really (in)convenient catch-22 if you’re a constituent who wants to institute reform.
The fourth estate, the one that we ostensibly trust to hold power to account, again very conveniently, does not generally have that standing, FOIA excepted.
Having to go through getting a court order sounds like an issue for this non issue.
Why should that be a thing? More cheesy obfuscation games to protect some random a-hole?
These rich who don’t want to be on the hook for other’s healthcare sure make a lot of demands of everyone else.
Covid just taught us we can stand to shed a few million and be fine. Purge the rich.
If no one else is on the hook for my life story fuck theirs.
Not everyone has to be rich to want/need privacy. Maybe you had threats against your life and dont want your house and vehicle to be traceable to your name. Maybe you disagree with the automated license plate reader/tracker and this is one of the only legal ways around that.
Sounds like a federal law is needed to pierce these exploitive veils.
