don’t forget the ancillary support from other hotels, other theme parks and attractions, etc.
It would take decades to get to the same scale as it has in Orlando.
Desantis cost Florida a billion dollars to get even with Disney

Omg every damn dem on this board thought he wanted to "rule" us. Hilarious. I found it truly entertaining that Trump left stuff to the Governor's only offering the national guard which was refused during major riots and left a few politicians pissed off at over reach. Lmao. Then Biden and his vax/mask mandates on a federal level. Yes, storybook sh!t. You can't make this stuff up. Smh.
We certainly don’t have to agree on policies and that’s fine, but I find your homophobic comments and calling trans people freaks out of line. It’s not a good look.
Yeah, I get authoritarian part, but Marxist? C'mon, no one ever thought DJT was a Marxist.
Any mother trucker guy trans that wants to enter my daughters bathroom can go f*ck themselves. K. I find it odd that we are having such a f*cked up conversation eppy.
They have no intention of letting this go through. They passed it this year so they could tell voters they are standing up for the values of Floridians. Next year, they'll repeal it so they can tell voters they are working in the interests of Florida taxpayers and job creators. It's all a giant theatrical production.I believe it has more to do with the $105m number that Disney taxes itself.. not the $63m number that covers the bonds. Per this guy, that $105m goes away, and would have to be spread equitably across the entire county.
Florida taxpayers could face a $1 billion Disney debt bomb if its special district status is revoked
The Florida legislature on Thursday cleared a bill that would dissolve Disney's special improvement district, effective June 2023.www.cnbc.com
I don't think any of it happens anyway...as I read it.... these special districts can only be dissolved at the choice of the district itself. I'm sure this ends up tied in court for years. Or more likely it ends up getting washed away next January in the Legislature once the news cycle gets old.
You either fight these lefty woke assholes or they will run you over. Kasich, Romney types in normal times would be great. They’re worthless against these nuts. And they are ****ing nuts.
Being nice will get you nowhere with these lefty idiots. They want no compromise.
Yep, first day in office, poof it’s gone. What a great idea. Poof those ignorant asses into the unemployment line.
I agree with you. I don't know why people think they have cater to a few weirdos and freaks over what's good for the Majority and what's normal.

Ftw doesn't comprehend the meaning of complex words....or any over 4 letters. His propaganda didn't give him a response when confronted about his comments

Do I watch Tucker? Nope but this clip was on Twitter this morning. You all can hear it for yourselves and fight like crap. I'm with Desantis
No, just suggesting scenarios where Disney could begin to unwind from Orlando if it did become practical.
I'd add there's another stakeholder besides shareholders that corporations respond to and that's employees. Modern CEOs have to look in the eye of employees who care deeply about these issues. That's not going to change.

Maybe not a Marxist, but he was accused of colluding with Russia.
You might have heard about it.

Because he did collude. Anyone capable of reading knows that.
In fact, he publicly asked for more assistance from Russia just recently.
there is literally nothing that Disney can do without dramatically undermining its business in Orlando. It could decide to try and replicate what is has elsewhere, but we’re talking about 20+ years and hundreds of billions of dollars to get it anywhere near the scale Disney World has.
Hey, if you believe all the Desantis critics, it will be the taxpayers who pay the bill. Disney should benefit from this, right?
I've never seen Democrats switch support to corporate welfare so quickly in my life.

Or Republicans move away from corporate welfare so quickly. Nothing like moving against companies for taking a stance against them. Revenge laws. So mature.
is this cancel culture of the gop?
Exactly Stoll!! War is on @Bulk VanderHuge bitch!! We've had enough butts burned out on our faces these last 18 months! November is coming! Like Johnny Depp vengeance will be ours!
As an aside I'm flipping channels. I haven't paid attention to the NBA in years. I just saw Quinn Snyder pacing on the sideline. I would have been less surprised to have seen Santa Claus. WTF

Could just leave. You guys like putin so much. Why not make Russia great again
Nah this is an actual and pretty blatant first amendment violation.
Private company doesn't agree with the government so the government retaliates because of it.
If Desantis really wanted to f with Disney he wouldn't have made his retaliation threat so crystal clear...but that wouldn't serve his ambition so here we are.
Either the alt right doesn't understand the first amendment (since they've been whining about big tech censorship as a violation of first amendment rights, which is blatantly incorrect) or the right is okay with it if it suits their need, like in this case.
If this keeps getting cheered on I'm looking forward to Biden or democratic mayors pulling liquor licenses on bar owners who registered Republican in retaliation.
Hey, let's not go overboard.
Well, Tommy, the 1st Amendment doesn't apply in the Mouse Kingdom and they're not bound by any state law now.
And if it's such a 'blatant' violation of the 1st Amendment, take it to the Supreme Court.
But I'm glad to see you support total freedom from taxes for corporations now.
"If this keeps getting cheered on I'm looking forward to Biden or democratic mayors pulling liquor licenses on bar owners who registered Republican in retaliation."
What the hell do you think happened during the Covid shutdown, lil' Tommy?

Disney doesn't have First Amendment-protected free speech? And government reprisal for the exercise of protected speech is ok?
Please share more of your Constitutional Law expertise. 🤣
Do I remember correctly that he was messing with someone’s wife or something like that?
Disney does not allow free speech on its property - it's a business, remember?
If you think the law is against the 1st Amendment, take it to the Supreme Court. I'm sure, if it's so obvious, it'll be overturned.
Good to know you're all for not taxing woke corporations, though, you old Republican.
I understand the issue. I said if it's such a violation of the 1st Amendment, the SC will deal with it.
I actually hold your opinion in lower regard than Hickory's. Well, not really, but you're peas in a pod.
He does. He's just being stupid for the sake of arguing.
Actually he's desperately trying to change the subject or wuttabout because unless he truly believes that businesses do not have 1st amendment protection from a retaliating government, there's not much to argue about in this example.
The right might not agree with Disney's take and they are free to not give them money or to try to publicly convince others to not give them money, but cheering on government to pick and choose to punish and retaliate specific businesses for having a dissuading opinion is yet another preview of an authoritarian mindset that the extreme right is turning to, ie the culture war fears.
It's one more example of a political power play that is so outrageous as to be unimaginable previously, so unimaginable that they will get away with it. It ranks right up there with what McConnell did with Garland.
