Reply to comment by CaroKannyeWest in Urban Greens Co-Op is asking for $50K on GoFundMe by Anonymous_Casual

If anything, this should be the non-starter for donating. When they're in a situation where they shouldn't really have any way to fail? Crowdfunding isn't going to save them. The best case scenario is you end up like the suckers who gave $40,000 to Bucktown and they couldn't last 6 months after.

At a certain point, an operation needs to sink or swim and Urban Greens just announced they don't know how to swim

Harsh but fair. And you're right. I was half worried I'd be out on an island with my stance here.

The line about needing "an infusion of cash to get to a place of greater stability" is what made me get that way.
