Anyway, side track, but I just had to get that out.

That actually helps because we are at the CityLab conference in Madrid.

Give us like a little Allentown history.

Like what is the timeline when we talk about these sort of key industries that were once associated with the city of Allentown?

What was the sort of peak of it and when was the sort of trough?

Data centers need electricity, AI needs copper, reshoring needs steel, and gold's run may tell you something about how the world is repricing money and debt.

All of those point back to real assets.

I'm glad you brought up the sort of maker 3D printing phenomenon because- That was such a thing around that time.

Yeah, it was, but it's forgotten, isn't it?

Because when we talk generally about the tailwinds or the growth of the 2010s, it's almost entirely, people talk about tech, right?

Software, et cetera, the internet and all that.

And then we talk about post-COVID, this new enthusiasm for reshoring.

But it was like this forgotten chapter that was in particularly the first half of the 2010s, the various makerspaces and the 3D printers.

And people were really excited about that.
