In 1938, laughter and the sound of pins crashing filled the Ely Bowling Center, a beacon of joy for a small-town community. Decades later, the building's echoes grew quieter as it fell into disrepair, overshadowed by time. Today, we’re breathing new life into this historic space. The former temperance hall, which housed a Finnish opera, silent films, and bowling leagues, is transforming into a craft cannabis dispensary and an inclusive entertainment hub. It’s a place where history meets innovation, honoring the past while embracing the future. Every building has a story, and every story deserves a second chance. By redeveloping this space, we’re not just restoring walls—we’re rebuilding community, creating jobs, and proving that history and progress can thrive together. 😎

To help answer this, I decided to dust off my old economics books to see Ludwig von Mises's view of the consumer as the “captain” of the economic ship. 💪 "The real bosses, in the capitalist system of market economy, are the consumers. They, by their buying and by their abstention from buying, decide who should own the capital and run the plants. They determine what should be produced and in what quantity and quality. Their attitudes result either in profit or in loss for the enterpriser. They make poor men rich and rich men poor. They are no easy bosses. They are full of whims and fancies, changeable and unpredictable. They do not care a whit for past merit. As soon as something is offered to them that they like better or that is cheaper, they desert their old purveyors. With them nothing counts more than their own satisfaction. They bother neither about the vested interests of capitalists nor about the fate of the workers who lose their jobs if as consumers they no longer buy what they used to buy."
