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

[Dagosa]

Yep and the $10,000 a year homeowner's premiums makes up for all that and some.

And the flood insurance…..

 

[Dagosa]

Well being “woke” still hurt Disney.

Really ? Being woke hurts ?

Not really. Believing in science and treating everyone the same polls well.
Being an ass hole and using the gov to strip people of their rights is not.
It seems conservatives have come full circle, using the gov to fk people over.

Well being “woke” still hurt Disney.

Disney lost almost 50 billion dollars in stock value In the fight with DeSantis. No matter how you try to cut it, that hurt.

Disney LOSES nearly $50 billion in stock value since waging war against Florida’s anti-grooming law

The Walt Disney Company has lost nearly $50 billion dollars in stock market value since the start of March, when executives shifted gears and became more actively involved in politically-charged ideological culture warfare against Gov. Ron DeSantis and Florida leadership.

According to the Washington Examiner, the downfall of Disney has been $46.6 billion USD since March 1, which the outlet marks as shortly before the start of their ongoing conflict against the state of Florida.

The latest battle has Disney losing their special self-governing status. Tens of billions of dollars were wiped out of Disney's stock value since Tuesday, alone. Coincidentally, that was the same day DeSantis announced that eliminating Disney's "legacy special district" status was on the session agenda.

I'm going by what DeSantis said. Was he lying?

Of course, he’s a Trump wannabe.

 

[Dagosa]

If desantis were to be governor longer than the next 3 years (but he won't) and this disney vendetta kept up the state of Florida would have a state income tax. Right now Florida is living off (thanks to the Feds) Covid money from trump and biden.

And all those social security checks being spent in Florida. FL has the highest percent of retirees in the nation, and the gop just lives to cut SS; what dumb asses.

try as you might, you won't convince me you are not a hypocrite. but continue on!!!

 

[maybelooking]

Likely because you have not provided anything that shows this was the motivation. The threads here reflect what the reasoning is and DeSantis has not been shy about stating exactly what he was intending. At no point was DeSantis complaining about what Disney paid, he complained that they opposed his legislation. And then he used the government to punish them for it. It is not like he has been ambiguous. Nor is it difficult to understand why this is authoritarian, wrong and unconstitutional.

I don't need to show anything about "motivation" to wonder why leftists are against Disney paying their "fair share"

Leftists LOVE to talk about that shit, until it's a company they support having to do it. Then all of a sudden its a terrible thing.

DeSantis motivation could be to make cotton candy on Mars. thats irrelevant. If the END RESULT is Disney having to pay their fair share......why are leftists all of a sudden against that? seeing how they've been preaching (and continue to preach) thats a GREAT thing whenever other companies are involved.

No it's not.

Rightists love to go on about free speech and small government...what happened to that?

Why don't Florida's 2000 other special districts pay their fair share?

So why didn’t being “woke” work well for Bud Lite?

Believing in science? Liberals were running around pushing lies about COVID-19.

America's COVID Response Was Based on Lies

We have seen an Orwellian attempt to rewrite history and to blame the failure of widespread lockdowns on the lockdowns' critics.

www.newsweek.com

***snip***

Numerous experts—including John Ioannidis, David Katz, and myself—called for targeted protection, a safer alternative to widespread lockdowns, in national media beginning in March of 2020. That proposal was rejected. History's biggest public health policy failure came at the hands of those who recommended the lockdowns and those who implemented them, not those who advised otherwise.

The tragic failure of reckless, unprecedented lockdowns that were contrary to established pandemic science, and the added massive harms of those policies on children, the elderly, and lower-income families, are indisputable and well-documentedin numerous studies. This was the biggest, the most tragic, and the most unethical breakdown of public health leadership in modern history.

In a democracy, indeed in any ethical and free society, the truth is essential. The American people need to hear the truth—the facts, free from the political distortions, misrepresentations, and censorship. The first step is to clearly state the harsh truth in the starkest possible terms. Lies were told. Those lies harmed the public. Those lies were directly contrary to the evidence, to decades of knowledge on viral pandemics, and to long-established fundamental biology.

Grooming kids (which you have shown constantly that you support) is NOT a free speech issue. It’s disgusting. Just like you. Crying tat DeSantis is bitch slapping Disney left and right. And that building was not going to be built regardless.

 

[WorldWatcher]

Florida has been the most successful State in the country because of DeSantis. And this is a great example of why

LOL

Florida has been a successful state before DeSantis. Why?

Because Disney has been a major economic driver of the tourism industry for decades.

Disney is a tiny part of the economy, but don't let facts rain on your bull shit.

So World Watcher used to not be an ass, just like Toro wasn't. Are you fake Toro or someone else?

if the local law enforcement are authoritarians it adds to it.

Mice dodge.

Mice don't dodge, they duck!

They may be thinking of long term anyway given rising wayer levels in Florida and its becoming a magnet for cat four and five storms in the last several years.

So Dallas, Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia, would be good candidates. Texas loves giving tax breaks to big business. Ask Tesla!
