Anderson is going through tough economic times. This isn’t a news flash. Everyone uses important scientific measures for the economy. I use “soda pop.” The “S-P-O-T” or “Soda Pop Operation Theory” theory, by Ball State graduate Leland Franklin.
Our economy was stronger when pop was in glass bottles, which you’d return for money. How many of us, myself included, went scrounging through vacant lots in the summer looking for pop bottles to return? The economy of childhood was driven by the treasures we’d find. Now, kids just pester parents for the same thing…draining the economy.
