So not only can kids not play “travel ball” now they can’t represent their town in an all stars tournament?
Worse yet, instead of ruining their lives by having them hang out with their buddies and play games, let’s go get private lessons

I’ll try to clean this up. A lot of misinformation in here. Only read 3 pages deep so apologize if somebody else clarified.
This appears to be a HS partnering with a travel organization to send their HIGH SCHOOL players to play summer ball.
High school players play summer ball in various ways. Many schools do something called Metro ball. Essentially it’s a high school team that is not sponsored/ governed by the school. Over the years metro has really fallen off in quality and consistency due to it being on weekdays, extremely hot, many rain outs, all for glorified scrimmages. Enter the “travel ball” portion. Some coaches create or partner with a travel ball group after the season so their players can compete together in the same system. Benefits are, turf fields (often college stadiums) so more consistent schedules and the kids are competing for something at least. Many top programs have chosen this route. In some pockets, Legion ball is still very viable (thank God), and in those areas a lot of HS coaches send their boys to play in the local Legion team. Lastly, some prospects take the route of playing in combine style showcases. Show up, play a bit, leave, and who gives a damn about the score.
This appears, based on the coach’s post, to be a relationship to get his HS boys higher level, consistent reps in the summer

At the end of the day it may help you. Hear me out

The DC is going to bring electricity, water, and a well paved road to your property line. Due to easement of necessity laws, you’ll now have better access through the DC property.
Data centers, once built, are silent operations for the most part, so it won’t affect your peace on your property.

In general I’d prefer we didn’t have them chewing up our rural land but it could work out well for you in the short and long runs

Today, the better incentives are usually tied to financing.
I typically finance to get incentives then pay off when I get 1st note

Here’s my question:
Are you already independently wealthy and set up for your own retirement? Are you at least on track to having enough savings to retire comfortably without question? Like if you keep going as is, can you handle 2-3 major disruptions in your retirement savings and still have enough to retire comfortably?
If the answer to those is no, why are we thinking about funding baby girl’s whims?? I’ve put 4 through college. They all had options to get school paid for without loans and did so. I only have one option for retirement.
1 kid had full ride option to go to McNeese but chose to take TOPS and go to LSU. He had to pay a little out of pocket. I wasn’t paying for his party
Next one dreamed of going to Tulane. Spent a year at LSU working to gain a scholarship to Tulane. Earned it and graduated with a full ride to there.
Third took full ride to McNeese and pockets about 4-5K over his expenses each year.
Last one left and went to beauty school.
In 2026 the options to get a degree without financial ruin of the child and the family are there!

That Tractor supply was once a field with sheep in it that later became an empty field where I'd walk across the street from where I lived and throw baseballs in the air and hit them as far as I could, when I was a kid. Lived there from 91' to 2005. I'm glad I moved before they ruined my fun field.

I’m not the OP but I can say for me- someone who’s staunchly conservative, it’s because I don’t believe a word they say. Sadam had WMDs remember?
This seems like another poorly planned regime change attempt in a region that, since we began meddling, has turned more radical, less prosperous, and far less peaceful- even considering the historic lack of peace in that region. We’ve been on a mission to disrupt the power structure there since the late 80s and Iran was the last target on the list.
Government has abandoned the idea of America First in exchange for carrying out the next coup on behalf of the MIC

What it proved to me is just how bad our catchers can make pitch look sometimes
