You're right. That means it's time to think outside the envelope.

Where I lived in New Jersey we had a county college that had a special building that allowed entrepreneurs free office space for a year to get a business going. They especially supported high tech.

With 100k people maybe we could each throw in $5 and help support a deli or and bakery's rent for a year in a town square. After a year they would be on their own. https://www.talkofthevillages.com/fo...ahblahblah.gif
