Re: [omni-consensus] Repayment of $7500 loan from Safer DIY - due November 1st

by Jake

speaking for myself, I feel that it would be wrong for us to delay paying this amount even though we would like to have more money in order to be in a better position to get a loan, etspeaking for myself, I feel that it would be wrong for us to delay paying this amount even though we would like to have more money in order to be in a better position to get a loan, etc. It's just not our money. It belongs to Safer DIY and we've been holding onto it. It's not much different from if we were to … [View More]go out and steal it out of their account because we happened to have access to it, in my opinion. So as an individual, i'm in favor of paying it immediately. I'll put this question on the Sudoroom meeting agenda so that I can get a proper representative position from Sudoroom. If the above argument is not enough to convince whoever is reading this, I'd like to point out that Omni wouldn't exist right now if it weren't for the significant contributions of Sarah and David, well above and beyond what this actual loan pays for. Considering we have a fire inspection coming up, we really would be better off if we had a better relationship with them and were able to ask for help with it. -jake On Tue, 4 Oct 2022, Yardena Cohen wrote: > Sarah, we really appreciate DIY's help and good faith here.
