trail-blaze new business opportunities that actually help generate<br>
those incomes needed to pay that rent.</blockquote><div><br>Whether your landlord is a bank or your buddy Dave down the street, you have to pay the rent. Failing to pay people (even banks) what you owe them is neither a sustainable nor a particularly moral business model.<br>
<br>A bank's role isn't to blaze business opportunities per se, but to make capital available to those who have the vision and energy to give it a try. Part of keeping that capital available for new projects involves collecting payments from old projects. By court order, if necessary.<br>
<br> Not every good idea for an organization succeeds as an actual organization. Cube Space may still be an excellent idea, even if this particular execution does not survive. Blaming banks is not going to help us learn how to do it better next time.<br>
