PP is just posting vague screeds without any substantive support. They are not adding anything of value to the discussion, which was the point of my posts. |
That’s not how anything works. You cannot force an independent third party to assume responsibility for bonds for which they have no legal obligations. And if DeSantis tries to play games with repayment of the bonds, ratings agencies will downgrade all of Florida’s debt because they will not longer be reliable on their repayment obligations, which would have severe consequences for Florida. |
PP made a mistake. Disney controls the legislature and the courts as the largest state employer does in just about every state. |
Really? How is Disney in this situation? Remember Disney criticized the law after it was passed and not before. After which Disney was attacked by DeSantis. How is that controlling anything. Hope Disney shuts it down and fires all their employees in Florida. |
DeSantis can pass any law he needs to to make it happen. Oh and there are never any long term consequences for governmental defaulting. Specially when this is not really a government entity. |
They can fire all their hourly workers and contract with a staffing company. The majority of low level Amazon workers are from a staffing company. It gives the company an extra level of insulation when it comes to employee abuse. It would be terrible for the workers but imagine the shock and awe right before the election to fire all the drones and blame it on DeSantis. Disney holds the power here. |
But Disney has the money to hire far better and smarter lawyers who will find the legal issues that cause these laws to be unconstitutional or unenforceable. In this case, DeSantis and the Florida legislature did absolutely no homework on the Florida legal system and made several major legal errors when enacting this law. There is absolutely no way that this law will take effect in June 2023. At a minimum, if the courts to not send this back to the legislature to rewrite covering for the many issues with the law, Disney will have this caught up in legal red tape and injunctions until DeSantis and half the current legislature is out of office and they will find and support people who will work to overturn this law. |
What you’re suggesting is unconditional. Just fyi. He can’t tax Disney extra because he doesn’t like their public political statements. What the hell is wrong with you? |
| Unconstitutional* |
The delusion is real. |
They also think DeSantis is a king that can just pass laws with a wave of his hand. |
You might want to brush up on Florida politics. You people just have no understanding of Florida. |
There has been only a couple of government bond defaults ever. It is a big deal. And yes it was a real government entity. |
You do understand you are advocating crushing the Florida economy? End 80,000 jobs all at once? Florida would be bankrupt in a week with the claims on services. This will all work out in Disney's favor. Quietly. Behind closed doors where Disney money will do its magic. |
Trump has shown the rubes that authoritarianism is real. The US constitution and the state constitutions simply haven't caught up. The irony is the "strict constitutionalists" who somehow think this is ok. |
