I can't draw worth a damn with my vision still in a blur state but I'll give you a word picture of a couple of related images:
(1) A man lying at the bottom of what looks like a huge picnic basket, as the sun beats down on him, and says "Where am I going and why am I in this handbasket?"
(2) Another one is a picture of a dump truck emptying asphalt into the front hopper of a road paving machine. Out of the back of the paving machine is fresh black road surface. On the side of the truck is the company's name, "Good Intentions Paving, LLC." One of the men on the machine says to the dump truck driver, "By the way, where did they say this road was going to?"

You have to look at how things are. The extremely favorable tax treatment of LLCs - single member LLCs are not taxed, multiple member LLCs are taxed as partnerships - and that they still have the limited liability protections of corporations, plus there are no restrictions on number of members or citizenship of members as there is with an S corporation, means an LLC is an extremely attractive form of business structure for any organization that does not need go public or offer stock.Flack wrote:The funniest part of that whole post was that the company is a LLC.
I'll offer this prediction. Within 20 years, LLCs will be the dominant form of business operation in the U.S. About the only businesses still operating as corporations will be public businesses or organizations that, by law, cannot operate as LLCs, like stock brokerages and banks. If they ever figure a way for LLCs to sell memberships on stock exchanges, the corporation as a type of business will almost completely disappear.

Way to explain the fun away, Buzz Killington.

You have, on occasion, asked to have things explained to you, so I will explain this to you. If this is an occasion in which you did not want this explained to you, kindly disregard and keep rolling.Tdarcos wrote:You have to look at how things are.

The reason this is funny is because the company's "form of business operation" is completely irrelevant to the joke, but the fact that you felt the need to add "LLC" to it (which you have mentioned that you also use) is a jarring and unnecessary detail.
It would be the same as if you started off a joke with, "A guy, who happens to be a notary, walks into a bar..."
"I failed a savings throw and now I am back."
