re: Is the high cost to play hockey the reason it isn't as popular?

having one ice rink in a city doesn't really make help get a lot of kids to play, though. Look at soccer, baseball, etc, for instance. There are dozens of field complexes and leagues all across the metro areas of medium sized cities. Having just one solitary ice rink doesn't provide convenient access to most of your city. Whereas if parents saw there was ice within a 10 min drive of their house they may be more likely to have their kids try it out. IDK, expecting a cold weather sport played on ice to take off in the southern united states just doesn't seem realistic. Memphis I don't think would even be called medium but rather a large city. In the metro area of 1.5 million people, there is one ice rink...in Olive Branch, MS. That's a hike for the vast majority of the people who live in the metro area.
There’s also the reality that there are 5,578,223,567,665 patches of dirt, cement, or grass to otherwise kick, bounce or throw a ball around on at any given time.
Within 1 block there’s like 3 houses that have hoops that kids gather at - not basketball facilities.
If you can’t toss on some skates and mess around without multiple parents coordinating transportation- it’s just hard to get the thousand hours of practice fiddling around

re: Cartels retaliating at Guadalajara airport after a cartel leader was eliminated

So I follow cartel stuff pretty closely and very ever video I've seen where they have an "arrestee" (hostage), they always claim they are for the common man.......except when they don't pay their tax. And when a thief crosses their path, it's a brutal execution. One baw had his hands cut off then while he was crying, they domed him. Yikes.
I’m pretty sure when that dude gets back north of the border he’s allowed to damage your knuckles for the simple fact that you thought this was a cool time to tell that story

He played well with the jags backup qb
He has not played well with tlaw
They need to either figure out the disconnect or harvest value as tlaw isn’t leaving
Right now I think that’s still a late first or early 2 because you’d save like 100m in cap if you get 3 years of the pro bowler at a rookie deal

There has to eventually be an inflection point, right? Businesses and corporations choosing profits over people on this scale doesn't seem sustainable. People will revolt against a future like that, right?
My worry is it will be sudden and drastic.
What if we hit the tipping point before even midterm elections? How CC would you revolt if this happened within months on a large scale?

Id rather them collect dollars from people doing illegal things and furlough workers in a bloated system. I do get the sentiment that you shouldn't target tourists. Though I don't agree that we should allow them to do illegal stuff just because they are visitors. A good government collects fines for illegal things and corrects the budget and services issue. They shouldn't not do some things just because they can't do them all.
Still hanging too hard on the word tourist probably as I tried to generalize out to “make it easier for folks to want to do business with the city” instead of “aggressively fine fans of the city for what are often slight imperfections compared to the things they are excusing”
That could be the person from Metairie trying to go downtown for lunch and a stroll.
You typically don’t fine your way out of a tax deficit. You grow your way out of it.

Legally parking is the easiest thing to possibly do. I have been ticketed and towed before and I have been in the wrong 100% of the time trying to park closer rather walk an extra few blocks.
I get it.
Just acknowledging that in a city with so many issues that a local or visitor has to overlook - hiring 50 meter maids while furloughing people in actual city services isn’t stellar, right?
Hitting drivers with illegal camera tickets for 4 mph over seems ticky tack compared to them having a great time spending money in the city and generating funds while overlooking the pot holes and homeless not being addressed by the city.

All you have to do is pay that small tax for the privilege of enjoying a great show in the greatest city on earth. They could have towed you. They were towing vehicles left and right as if they got hefty bonuses for hitting a certain number.
They been out en masse
Instead of making it a fun place to come, and creating tax revenue from regional tourists wanting to return - they are going to exhaust anyone that actually wants to go downtown.

Nothing bad will happen if you dont park elsewhere in the city on public property. (Use parking lots)
The last regime (which included Helena) wanted to go to private property- and scan license plates in houses driveways even
I think JP and Helena are going to upset some of yall as this year unfolds

The guy with the f ice sign was out at Philip and st Charles on Saturday. He sets up there every year in front of mcgehee.
It was so out of place to have the sign during iris and tucks.
Looked like he had it setup to light up during night parades
Older guy, long hair, kilt, I’ve chatted with him a little here and there through the years from being adjacent to his set up a few times. Does software/tech stuff for work.
When that past post referenced the star in place of the u on the sign and that he was doing it Saturday…. Pretty sure it’s him

1) the black dolls were painted in black face (false), and 2) even if there are white dolls, it’s misogynistic to hang women from their necks in that display
I’ve also seen “of course they did a white one so they could deny it”
And the interview with the mom gave me some feelings. Little girl is thrilled to catch a Barbie and mom takes it from her and tells her it’s a racist that wants to hang them…. Ugh. Even if you believe that you let the girl believe in magic and happiness, right?

When a dog attacks a person, that dog has to go. No questions asked.
The only disclaimer I’d give is we have no idea the type of dog or the scope here
That he’s asking implies he probably knows the answer already but there is definitely at least some grey space between a pit bull mauling someone and a lab nipping someone’s pants leg (still not ok but could be training addressed)

Newsflash, our new mayor is still a moron. This "story" needed no comment from her or Morrell like it was some national emergency.
At most a quick- “checking with the Krewe for updates” and not a “this hate….”
I’ll say, my opinion has evolved from let’s see at the start to not looking good when it was multiple being waved around downtown to probably just poor taste seeing dolls of all race strung up

Once upon a time it played as a fun joke- somewhere they crossed over to being far too serious.
Canal place is picking up a Tesla shop this year - so somewhat a trade.
I hear rumors of expanded entertainment coming in too
Will have to back fill more retail but there’s positives in the building.

There shouldn’t be a mob of kids in the first place but jeeeze - I’m not jumping in the middle asking them if their parents know what they are doing. The officer waiting on support probably had it right.

Halftime shows are rarely good. It’s like a special teams play - just don’t mess up the day for the real show
