You will need to document those Owner / Capital Contributions very clearly so if an audit happens you can prove how that money got into the LLCs account.

Speaking of that account; your Contribution may not be considered Revenue but any interest earned from it sitting in a bank account almost certainly will be and unless you record offsetting expenses then you suddenly have profit…which is subject to taxation.

If that isn’t enough then there’s State, County, and sometimes even local regulations to consider. For instance you lived in Denver, Colorado you may be on the hook for “Occupational Privilege Tax” which is $4 per month per employee. Is the owner of a single member LLC considered an “employee”? I dunno but you should know that this stuff exists and find out before it bites your ass off.

For the most part LLCs are cheap and easy, right up until somebody from the Government decides to poke their nose in, which is how so many people get in trouble with them.

So Good Luck with this and let me know when your instance goes live. :)

They will never go away for regular people, only the Rich.

Good luck with the IRS.

Apple Intelligence and the first versions of Gemini are the perfect examples of this.

Add Amazon’s Alexa+ to that list. It’s nearly a year overdue and still nowhere in sight.

This is strange.

Let me know when you figure it out. I’m happy to revisit.

You may be correct on MB though. I pulled that number from a news article that I can’t get into again because I exceeded my daily threshold of free ones. I’ll just concede that I’m incorrect on the case count in MB specifically, at least until I can get into the dang article again.

Western Europe has way less cases…

Fair enough, so lets move those goalposts to the west a bit.

Here’s the EU data from April 2024 to 31 March 2025, which seems to be the latest available. You’ll note that in that time period there were 26,222 cases. Romania, Italy, Germany, France, and Belgium reported the most.

…and nearly all of them in Romania.

True but Romania is part of the EU and so they count against the numbers. Just like Texas does for the US.

Looking at the data we can plainly see that in 2025 the EU has reported more cases of measles every month than the US has in all months combined. The EU had 4482 cases by the end of March while the US is still under a thousand partway into May.

For funsies though let’s remove Romania from the data completely and see what it looks like.

Of 26,222 cases Romania accounted for 21,620 which leaves a remainder of 4,602. On the United States side there has been 935 cases YTD and there were 285 in 2024 for a total of 1,219 in the past 16+ months.

I’ve linked and quoted Official Sources from both the EU and the US and the data clear; the EU is having a worse measles outbreak than the US.

Lest you feel I’m picking on the EU I’m also going after Canada because they too have had more cases of measles since just last October than the US has had in the past 16+ months. You can find that data linked in my post here.

Where are you getting your info from?

The OP’s article.

"One in Ontario, Canada, has resulted in 1,243 cases from mid-October through April 29. "

It’s literally the 2nd sentence of the 3rd paragraph.

Additionally Canada’s Health Minister has updated the total to 1,384 as of today, May7th.

If your own Health Minister being quoted in a Canadian News Source isn’t good enough then I guess this conversation is over.

Slovakia is already balking.

I always roll my eyes when I read hyperbolic comments like this; both the incident rate and the absolute case count is higher in Manitoba Canada than the entirety of the United States and if that isn’t enough the European Region has a skyrocketing case count with over 120,000 cases reported to the W.H.O. in 2024 which is more than 10 times the cases in the United States.

So the numbers say that the Europeans should ban themselves first, then the Canadians, and then the Americans.

“Starting” is somewhat of an understatement; since October of 2024 Manitoba has had over 1,200 measles cases. In that same time frame the United States has had 951.

With less than 1% of the US population Manitoba has nearly 30% more cases between 10/1/24 and 5/1/25.

I honestly had no idea there was even a problem in Manitoba until I read your comment. Now I’m wondering why the US is headline news for this.

Thanks! They are a bit more than I expected but still not bad even at $249.

They sound neat. I’d like to try some, what did you get?

That’s a pretty fancy way of saying “We are going to use our money to buy things we need.” I mean that’s sorta to be expected.

It’s also not a comment on “value of the dollar is about to beaten into the ground”. There doesn’t seem to be a basis to support the theory that purchasing too much NG will cause the US Dollar to decline in value.

The USD will likely decrease in value but it will happen because of Republican stupidity, not due to mass purchases of goods from US companies.

Got a link to an article or something discussing that?

What I do not get is why Trump isnt championing this as the right move.

Trump isn’t aware of anything more than 1 foot from his nose. Frankly he doesn’t need to be aware of this, the US Is already selling a crazy amount of LNG on the Global Market. Here’s the graph of exports.

Oil is a different matter. The US can produce plenty of crude but is seriously constrained by refinery capacity. No new refineries of significance have been built since 1976 and all of the existing refineries are already working flat out. It’s why the US was importing so much refined petroleum product (Gasoline, Diesel, etc) from Russia prior to the Ukraine war.

The move to green is the way forward,

It is part of a strategy to unload their dollar holdings.

Ya gotta have the currency in order to spend it. If a Nation runs out of USD while they still need NG (or anything else traded in USD) then they’re going to have a bad time.

The value of a dollar is about to be beaten into the ground.

Possibly but the U.S. Federal Reserve has the ability to blackhole a LOT of dollars and if the inflows exceed their ability then the price of NG will climb until it balances.

If you doubt me then line up this chart of US NG Exports with this chart of USD DXY. The effect predicted by the strategy isn’t visible.

Frankly I’m not sure there’s enough NG demand in the world to tank the USD via purchases.

In another couple of years. If Hungary and Slovakia are willing to play along (they aren’t).

That isn’t exactly true with Steam. Valve does allow a dev to offer a discount at a different store as long as that same discount comes to Steam in a reasonable amount of time.

Straight from the docs:“It’s OK to run a discount for Steam Keys on different stores at different times as long as you plan to give a comparable offer to Steam customers within a reasonable amount of time.”

Samsung Dex already does this with Android.

Good.
