You think government will EVER go without?
They have a license to steal and all the guns/force imaginable to carry it out.
I don't do, "if's". Too vague
Were those individuals speaking on behalf of Disney? If so, they are an extension of the Disney Corporation
Citizens United. Corporations are people.
dblack is as far from a "leftie" as one can get, but he also understands that "left" and "right" matter way less than "up" and "down" (authoritarian vs. libertarian).I take it you're a leftie?
And that's my point. When government is involved, it will be ZERO skin off government's back. It was a trap.I said the state would come out worse off, not that they would go without.
I do not have faith in the state Govt to be able to do the things Disney did as effectively for the same price as Disney did them.
Possibly with social media with the Section 230, and yes, your analogy was vagueWas not really vague at all, but I understand why you cannot answer.
In the end, you support the government punishing an entity for offering dissent to a law.
I do not. I doubt we will ever see eye to eye on this.
But one thing you can bet your bottom dollar on, we will now start seeing it happen more often.
You have no idea that both will be better or worse off. You are just guessing and are pissed at Florida, hardly unbiased.Florida knows they will not leave. it is one thing to move a factory, another to move what is on 25,000 acres.
And yes, Florida will be fine and Disney will be fine, but neither will be as fine as they were before the state choose to punish dissent. Disney will pay more in taxes but have less expense since the state will be doing much of what they had been doing. The question is will the state be doing it as efficiently as Disney for the same money? The chances of that are zero

No, this just shows a petty politician practicing crony capitalism.Play stupid games. Win stupid prizes.
What the Florida Senate did by voting to end Disney’s tax privilege sends a clear message that DeSantis will not be manipulated by corporations or their lobbyists. In Washington DC, that is a dangerous power to wield
Florida Senate Passes Bill to Eliminate Disney’s Special Tax District
The state’s Republican-led House is expected to approve the measure as Florida takes aim at the company’s opposition to gender and sexuality legislation.www.wsj.com
I will not answer because it IS TOO vague. What was the position as to why the government came down on them.I gave a specific company and a specific thing they did.
Not vague at all, But again, I get why you cannot answer
Yep, Disney paid for all their own emergency services, now those services for those 25,000 acres will have to be paid for by the county. And the amount of taxes they pay will not change at all.
I predict this will end up costing Florida far more than Disney.
Florida benefited greatly financially by the arrangement with very little actual effort from the state or the counties. They got massive amounts of tax dollars and did not have to spend any money on the 25,000 acers other than an occasional police presence. Now that all changes (or next June I guess) and there is no way the counties involved will be ready for the undertaking.
The Equipment is owned by Disney, the personnel are employed by Disney.
Are the counties going to pay for all the equipment? Are the people working going to be willing to work for the county?
Also, were those "people" that were employed by Disney, did they speak
out as a private citizen, or as an employee of Disney which would be an extension of Disney?
I think you know the answer to that.
I need to add the irony of being called a lefty because I do not think the government should punish speech is about a record level.

Based on what ... Disney stands to lose more than Florida.
It's not like Disney can take Pensacola, Miami, or Panama Beach with them ...
Florida is a tourist destination without Disney.
Even if Disney chooses to move, they will lose everything they have invested in Florida.
If they stay, they lost their Special Tax Status ... And they pissed off their clientele and customers in the process.
But I really don't have a problem with people who are willing to drive their shit into the ground.
so go ahead and give them a hand with that shovel ...
.
What makes you think they are just going to drop all the equipment they own and on the spot with that liability they have?
