I had this idea ten years ago. Told my parents it’d be nice to say “have a good day” and my moms initial reaction was she’d say “** you”. End of that idea.

Looks like this was developed and designed by the same team that handled the trump accounts and I found that very easy to setup and use for my kiddo. Shockingly functional and intuitive I had low expectations.

I’m cautiously optimistic for this simply bc of the team behind this.

I might be missing something, but I couldn’t find any actual investment terms tied to this. I'd expect at least basic clarity on things like what investment terms (valuation etc) would be offered?

Depends on the health issues. In the US, northeast and Florida at least there are many free courts almost everywhere. And plenty of older folks with small or medium health issues still find the time and motivation to play.

the reason G/O failed was due to leadership. Full Stop.

the audience that was assembled was actually impressive and the PE money was used correctly to build an interesting portfolio of sites.

From there it was an operational disaster. All the important sites they had have been acquired by better run companies which confirms that the underlying assets were pretty good, they just needed to be run by someone else.

On good authority here's a good example: They have one of the top car blogs in the world, and had zero dedicated auto ad sellers. Anyone who knows auto in advertising knows you need people in LA and Detroit full time on the agencies and OEMs.
