Perhaps you should consider that humans have been putting monumental amounts of effort to hide who owns these businesses? Its reasonable to me to assume that those who wish to conduct their business in the shadows have something to hide. Removing the light and returning to shadows? Does that seem like a good idea to you?

Yes yes, let’s take a law meant to shine a light on corruption and rebrand that law as the corruption itself.

Who said the CTA is corrupt?

What something is “meant” to do and what it actually “does” can be two wildly different things.

We’ll never know in this case

Are you implying that I am supportive of this announcement?

No you seem as baffled as I am. But when people try to hide information, revealing the truth often takes a MONUMENTAL effort. Genuinely, I’m not sure why you think this wouldn’t be a burden or why you’d be so dismissive?
