DeSantis and FL moving to hammer Disney

[Anonymous]

This thread is very interesting and highly entertaining. You can sure count on Florida government to provide some good laughs and entertainment!

fyi to the PP who complained that "Out" is a short about a "young boy" coming out to his family .... it is about a grown man doing that.

Which just goes to show how little ammo there is regarding any of this.

I for one was shocked when all of a sudden the short “Out”, about a young boy coming out to his family, suddenly popped up on my Disney+. Without warning. Without consent. Luckily my children are not old enough to use the platform on their own, but just think of how many children are given access to the content by their parents under the assumption that the content is developmentally appropriate and wholesome. I think Disney has gone so woke, it’s making Walt Disney turning in his grave. DiSantis has a backbone and common sense. I would be proud to call him my president. I really don’t see what the problem is.

Agree. He is refreshingly different and in a good way.

I will pray that you find a way to let go of your hate and ignorance.

Disney doesn’t get any tax exemptions from Reedy Creek. It still pays full county and state level taxes while also fully funding the district infrastructure operations and services. Dissolving the district would be a tax break because it would no longer have to fund the district infrastructure - that would be paid by the counties, which would not be able to increase taxes on Disney to fund the cost of maintaining the infrastructure and providing municipal services.

The resident troll is back. Writing style is very distinctive.

I would suggest you read up on the issue a bit more. Disney will actually pay less in taxes (and individual taxpayers will have to pay more) if Reedy Creek is dissolved.

One thing about the left that’s always interesting is parroting. Someone on Twitter or Reddit uses a phrase in a talking point - in this case Reedy Creek - and that talking point is constantly used almost verbatim over and over and over across multiple platforms. You can literally create a montage

Please read this article so you know what you’re talking about. You’re completely wrong about everything.

Still not going to root for a corporation. Forgive me if I don’t trust an entity whose sole existence is to make as much money as possible. Disney can do it’s great anti-bigotry work without special treatment.

DP. You realize this will hurt average middle class Floridians, right?

Why?!? Will Disney relocate to Chicago? Maybe Mayor Lightfoot can make a pitch.

The appeal of Orlando and So. CA is weather. Why on EARTH move to a climate that forces shutdowns for at least 1/2 year due to weather?

That’s the name of the district. It’s not a “buzz word.”

The right knows this is indefensible on the merits so they resort to attacking people for even talking about it. All they can do is try to shut down discussion entirely.

Facts are “talking points” now? OK.
