Everyone wants to blame DeSantis, but no one wants to blame the stupid CEO stepping into culture war politics that is none of his company’s business.
The job of a CEO is to grow the company and protect the investment of the stockholders. He clearly failed to do that here. He cares more about advancing a political/social agenda.
Look at the stock price! This company has lost nearly 50% of it’s stock value in 13 months! It’s the worst performing stock on the Dow Jones. And you have people here cheering on this political war Disney has no chance in winning. Companies do not win wars against governments.
My advice to Disney…start making good movies again, fix your rides, and stay out of politics.
It’s an opinion not a culture war to punish (that’s the difference) that’s your opinion what your saying , no one coming after you to punish you,just a opinion on your veiw, that’s it nothing else!
wait what? Disney would walk away from all its parks, all its hotels, its stores, and its new offices at Lake Nona… just up and walk away on billions in infrastructure to go to Texas (equally conservative) or Nevada (um too close to Disney land). And how long would it take them to do this? It took them like 5 years to build Guardians of the Galaxy… so Disney is going to leave all its stuff.. then invest in billions of new stuff.. all while not operating for 5 to 10 years. Yes Einstein , you hit the nail on the head… Disney really has Florida over the barrel. Ha ha ha
Governor DeSantis will be establishing a new district, which will address these safety “concerns”, obviously.
This official knew that. He was just doing what he was told, trying to somehow garner sympathy or concern or….who knows what. It’s wrong. He needs to apologize to our great governor.
At cost to the countries involved that’s why he got sued! There are contracts Union and otherwise that can’t be overturned. It was a egotistical, narcissistic decision that would cost his tax payers, why would he do that? Ego, the only reason.
Personally I hope they do leave because the state government is violating constitutional protections, I know you obviously don’t think so. That’s just partisan stupidity! He is not king! States may not violate a constitutional right!
suit was throw out of court. disney will still pay even if the bond payments go to the counties cause the property assessors will be crawling all over DW to put together a tax bill. think the ticket price is high now? wait till DW has to start paying real taxes.
DeSantis supports free speech as long as it confirms to his political ideology and personal self-interest. He had no problems accepting quiet donations fr DeSantis and back room support, but he threw a temper tantrum when Disney employees did not agree with him.
DeSantis openly discriminated against Disney for expressing a different view then him. He, not only, discriminated against Disney, but the local residents who will on the ropes for making up lost tax revenues and expenses from Disney.
Culture wars are a political strategy to create hate, divisive, fear, and discrimination. If you support divisive culture wars, you oppose Liberty and Justice for all.
Your completely biased and one sided post is totally wrong on all accounts. Nice try though.
BTW by posting your views (which you are entitled to obviously) you are taking part in this ‘culture war’ you so despise. Only I guess its ok for you since you think your views are fine. That’s pretty hypocritical of you.
So you think your governor has the right to violate the constitution?
You don’t even care? Fine the court will succeed because it’s cut and dry contractually, and those countries effected by the cost. Also why would he cause this damage to a area that has nothing but benefit the State! They won’t leave because the court will make them comply with Federal Laws!
This is America and that’s why the constitution stipulates speech!

Disney should never have gotten special treatment in the first place. When you get a sweet heart corporate deal reserved for fat cats and elites that regular businesses would never get… rule #1 keep your head down. They didn’t didn’t. When our Governor is your President hopefully he continues to take on big corrupt corporations.
he’s not discriminating they have no right to be teaching children that young who are not able to emotionally nor have the maturity to comprehend about any transgender they are not confused Disney needs to pay like every other theme park and company does they are not above the law
Punishing free speech that doesn’t align with his manufactured culture wars as he preaches personal freedoms shows his convoluted views of personal rights and freedoms, that he will take away if you do not agree with his authoritative divisive agenda. Desantis and his cronies know what’s best so don’t give us your opinion or we will punish you is not Democracy in action. Remember that critical race theory is and was not taught in Florida. This is all just a S*#t show to throw red meat to fox news and the base.
No he informed the Governor about contracts that make it illegal for him to take this action the citizens will be the ones who suffer! The Governor said he will make them pay, yeah right he already loss because his doing this violates the constitution!
yes you need to be honest and listen to Fox News you’d see a totally different side or even go on YouTube and listen to things yourself that are not cut and change through CNN won’t you be smart and do that for yourself or your family if you have one
They do and your statement proves how uninformed you are! I’ll say it you’re stupid just Google it just Google do businesses have the right of free speech! They will inform you about a very recent court order that actually changed they’re very fact and most people don’t think it was a good idea but it’s long just Google it if you have any nutz! That statement makes you look very stupid so don’t be ashamed just find out the truth and move on.
Am I reading correctly that the RCFD fire Chief is the one who made the decision not to use local emergency services? How is this on anyone other than RCFD?
Desantis wants everybody to listen to him,he doesn’t even listen to the president,so what that tells you,he wants to be in control, what freedom do you have (Florida better get woke)and stop listening to this crazy man,he is a dictator!
It’s an opinion not a culture war to punish (that’s the difference) that’s your opinion what your saying , no one coming after you to punish you,just a opinion on your veiw, that’s it nothing else!
Great comment kevin. I do not get my news from one source. Independent thinkers do not accept lies and Liars for the facts, they use a consensus of opinions. QAnon and Fox news who in court said they are an entertainment channel do not qualify as truth seekers.
Hahahaha, no your fascist governor overstepped and is getting sued which will only waste more money, if he does do it the people are on the hook for the cost of the Fire and everything that is done. Florida signed that deal because it absolved them of cost and responsibility! So Disney won’t be responsible for those things and the counties are responsible! Great thinking, you stupid Republicans are going to hurt your own counties!
Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.
DeSantis is a moron. If he takes Reedy Creek away from Disney the State has to pay off the One Billion Dollar debt Disney has there and Orange County Homeowners property taxes will increase 25%. This was nothing more than retribution for Disney not going along with our Authoritarian Governor. Disney holds all the cards here. DeSantis only won by 32,000 votes and Disney has 77,000 employees. Do the math!!!!!
Disney does not now pay property taxes. if this all comes to fruition, they will be paying out the butt and ticket prices will skyrocket. The property taxes of the people in the counties will not increase.

Disney needs to shut up. They have no voice. They are a company and they need to mind their business and let the people run themselves.

Republicans decided years ago that companies are people in the eyes of the law.

CEO of Disney forgot that this was, at one time, a place for FAMILIES. He may not go broke for being woke, but he’s ruined Walt’s legacy.
Shame on him!

Whatever Libby. Go look up what the word “fascist” actually means before you go throwing it around so freely.

Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.
