[hackerspaces] The world needs makerspaces?

[Matt Joyce]

There's a lot that can destroy a space.  The reasons are legion.

It's terrible to see techshop fail.  It's just such an amazing asset for
folks.  And most hackerspaces cannot begin to match their capabilities.

I wish them and their employees well in this transitional fuckery.  =/

They roared like a lion and their contribution to the world was
meritorious.  Not everyone can say that about a failed business.  They
can.  And that's a hell of a thing.

-Matt
