Disney scraps plans for new Florida campus, mass employee relocation amid DeSantis feud

All this could have been avoided had Disney, already enjoying the perks of special government privileges, hadn't decided to bite the hand that feeds it.

Privileges come with a price.

You mean had they kissed Mullah Ron's ass, everything would have been peachy keen, right?

Why is DeSantis going out of his way to impress The Taliban?

 

[Clipper]

Gee, and I thought everything Trump touched turn to shit.

Keep up the good work, Mullah Ron.

Indeed who would want 2,000 high end jobs coming to their state.

Is that supposed to be a question?

 

[chesswarsnow]

Sorry bout that,

1. So Micky Mouse is crushing Ronny?
2. Disney is perverted.
3. Anything goes with these perverts, and they are PROUD of it!!!!.
4. We don't want a fuck load of these pervs here, yes we have some, far too many sick minded fucks.

Report it Angey Little Man. It happens to be a common phrase used to represent a particular fallacy. I knew someone like would jump all over...so report it.

So much better than calling the Oakland School Dist. groomers for their transition closet and being accused of calling a poster a groomer, eh? You are really hypocritical when it comes to accusing members of illegal activity. You should work on that triggered angry little man.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

True.

The private sector realized years ago that opposing rightwing racism, bigotry, and hate is a sound business model.

Ask Anhueuer how that worked out

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

The "when did you stop beating your spouse" is a rhetorical device to show the stupidty of a comparison. And you, Concerned Citizen, got your butt rightfully and righteously kicked for misclaiming it as an attack on family. You pitiful squirt.

And now its Disney's turn. 2,000 jobs by by.

Disney has abandoned plans to open up a new employee campus in Lake Nona, Florida, amid rising tensions with the state's governor.
Citing "changing business conditions" and the return of CEO Bob Iger, Josh D'Amaro, chairman of Disney's parks, experiences and products division, penned a memo to employees Thursday, announcing that the company will not move forward with construction of the campus and will no longer be asking more than 2,000 California-based employees to relocate to Florida.

2000 less woke groomers. This is a DeSantis win!!!!!!!!

Whatever you call yourself you have proven you are a lover of big government nanny state controlling the masses.

Hardly. Unlike you I’ve seen him rip into both sides not just Trump and his supporters.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Texas does. Because we're not abject morons.

And you & your Republican Taliban should keep your nose out of other people's private lives along as they're not breaking the law.

This ain't Saudi Arabia, though that's where we're headed thanks to assholes like DeSantis.

It's good to see a politician try to make us moral again.

 

[lennypartiv]

True.

We thrived in the 50s before you liberals ruined America.

If you watched any of the whistleblower hearing yesterday, it was Obvious the Progs were all educated from pre meetings to spew the same rhetoric. Politicians who are seasoned with experience as the never leave office and know nothing else, use it to convince their voters. I know you are breaking my stones with my word play on threads as pinpoint wording is more difficult than direction wording.

What does this have to do with my statements?

What 'Progs' or politicians say is irrelevant to your seeming inability to just say basic realities.

 

[AntonToo]

Fruits and nuts... Florida doesn't want you

If Florida really doesn't welcome gay people then Desantis and other state gov reps should just grow the balls, say it and watch bussiness leave FL.

 

[AntonToo]

How to say you are an old white fart without saying you are an old white fart.

This is going to be interesting to continue to watch.

Disney kept a fairly low profile in the months since the initial blow up last year.

We find they moved quietly behind the scenes (but still in compliance with public law) to enter into contracts with the old Reedy Creek board before the DeSantis handpicked board was installed.

Then we find that Disney was biding their time and letting state legislators and Governor DeSantis make plenty of public statements on the record regarding why Disney was targeted for retribution before filing their federal law suit.

Now they fire a show across the bow in regards to a canceling a new $1 Billion dollar campus, which would have employed 2,000 people with an average salary of $120,000 (that $240,000,000 income that will now not exist in central Florida).

Disney has shown themselves to be very savvy in their actions and looks like they have a better crop of lawyers than those running Florida.

Disney isn't going to go anywhere and the cost and logistics of "moving" Disney World aren't worth it.

What I predict is that over the next couple of years Disney will have just bought the legislature and governor by quietly funding candidates that are less antagonistic than the current crop.

It also has the perfect timing to excoriate DeSantis before the next general. He fucked up bigly with his public statements.

 

[Skylar]

True.

Yup. Which is why the number of businesses that conservatives have to virtue signal to avoid is going to continue to skyrocket.

Good luck those poor souls driving a MyPillow to work. Or shopping for groceries at the NewsMax supermarket.

Oh, its bad. DeSantis straight up brags about suppressing political speech using the power of the State.

“The big issue with Disney was they exercised a lot of political influence in this town,” DeSantis said in an interview with Newsmax. “And they tried to fight us on things like parents’ rights and things that are really important to the people of Florida. We beat them on that. We signed a parents’ rights bill and we’ve expanded protections and we’ve done a lot of stuff to go back and fight woke ideology.”

“Since our skirmish last year, Disney has not been involved in any of those issues,” he added. “They have not made a peep. That ultimately is the most important – that Disney is not allowed to pervert the system to the detriment of Floridians. So that’s a win for the people of Florida.”
