DeSantis and FL moving to hammer Disney

I don’t think legislation could be called a contract. The new board voted to say the old board’s contracts with the cities is null and void. That is unconstitutional, per the Contract Clause in Article 1. This is in the lawsuit.

I’m still having a hard time understanding why DeSantis is going all in on this. He’s lost the plot and now he’s toast with donors. Womp, womp.

I’m pretty sure that Disney would not file such a suit unless they were pretty confident about winning.

Why don’t they end all their FL resident discounts and perks as was tossed around in the rumor mill in 2022 ?

Instead they’ve come out with a new slew of them just in the past weeks.

FL residents make up 8% of visitors.

Why not offer the discounts to others?

This would backfire on Disney and just might make the fence-sitters side with Bad Rhonda Santa.

The discount is typically used by FL residents who live nearby or who often go to parks with visiting family/friends. They are the ones who live there and must endure DAILY the surrounding traffic and infrastructure demands of all the Disney visitors. Often at salaries which are service-oriented and far belong the national average.

If anything, Disney should expand their discounts and get stronger Floridian support.

This is like the people who live in the Palisades complaiing about airplane noise from national airport. Disney was there long before most, if not all of those people chose to live there. The region is a suburban soulless cul-de-sac hell hole - so the people who live there have voted for the governments that have them one of the worst auto-dependent regions in the country. Complaining about people and traffic related to Disney is laughable.

I know you’re not asking in good faith but I’m going to answer bc it’s everywhere.
Feminizing a name to become the insult is misogynistic. The joke is that’s it s an insult to be feminine or a woman.
In this case, the joke goes further to suggest that Ron DeSantis is gay, with the insult being that being gay is wrong and making gay people the object of the joke along with Ron DeSantis.
The irony here is that Disney is getting “hammered” for speaking up for gay people.
It seems a tad disingenuous to say Ron DeSantis is evil for going after Disney to dare to speak out against his harmful policies impacting gay people while then making fun of gay people.
It’s one thing to suggest he’s closeted and angry. It’s another thing to go this route. IMHO.
He’s evil enough that this isn’t necessary.

New pp here. I'll be honest, Ron DeSantis really seems closeted gay to me. And I don't mean his voice. Newly divorced Steven Crowder too.

I live in Orlando and I’m nowhere near any of it. You can live in Orlando and never come anywhere near the parks. But I know people who live on that side of town and there are extremely cute neighborhoods over there that you wouldn’t see if just visiting. Tourists don’t see the “real” place most of the time they visit anywhere. I also don’t hear anyone complaining about traffic who live over there. For the exact reason you stated. So I’m not sure what your rant is actually about. Not based on reality that’s for sure.

I’m the pp you’re responding to. I agree. But you just made that point without slurs and misogynistic terms. It can be done. 😁
I literally can’t stand the guy. I’m not defending him. I’m defending the butt of these jokes- women and gay men.

I really believe that when he started this, he was just so high on the Fox coverage of all his anti-woke shII that he thought this was another slam dunk. He just didn't bank on Disney fighting back so much. And now he's just in too deep, I think - basically a sunk cost fallacy in action. Obviously he would be better off if he just got out of this whole thing - in every way - but I think he thinks he can't.

He's such a sloppy amateur. That's on full display. A twitchy, weird, sloppy amateur.

I agree. And so arrogant.

I said this earlier in the thread, but I theorized last year that he would quietly reinstate the RCIA after the election. He did, but he also demanded control of the board. When he embarrassed himself by not noticing that some of the district power was being handed to the cities, he got all butt hurt about it. He doesn’t want to look week, so he decided to do something else unconstitutional. The real danger of people like him is that people are being misled about their rights. It’s easier to take rights away from people who don’t understand them.

The only one that's going to come out on top of this is Disney. I think he realizes that on some level but is in denial
