I'm proposing this because the track record for banks and the fed aren't very good at saying no when it comes to lending out money...07-08 mortgage crisis... Stimulus... 535 million to solendra . Bail out bail out foreign aid foreign aid. Money on the failed war on drugs... Obamacare ...We are a spending machine ! And I can guarantee you there is some govt actuary crunching #'s right now calculating the money we will save in law enforcement vs offsetting any potential losses in easing on the MJ loan environment landscape.
To be able to tout job growth and receive a much needed tax rev infusion do you not think that BO wouldn't make it more then easy enough for them to succeed ! And if you don't think so I would point out that he forced tarp money on the auto companies in 08 even the ones that didnt need it so he could take credit for it. He will be on this like white on rice if he feels it will benefit him and he has the ego to do it.
So if banks do start loaning won't that compete with GIFT ?
The JV would be a bust & PHOT would have to pivot again to a different business model because the online and b&m hydro retail thing will fail.
So they do what at that point ? Endexx is already a first mover in the kiosk space. TRTC is well established in vertical grow.
