That’s racist. Mods can we please ban or suspend? Hopefully this type of behavior is not tolerated. All people’s feelings matter and should be respected.
When did so called "conservatives" become so anti-business? I certainly believe in a corporation's right to oppose a law. That happens all the time, typically to oppose laws/regulation sponsored by democrats.
They why is what people are concerned about. This is pretty clearly retaliation against Disney for their statements about HB 1557.
The pandemic was entirely to blame for it, not partly as the article stated. Who benefitted from the pandemic, and the suffering of Americans? China and the Democrats.
So the pandemic gets credit for the gas prices dropping and not Trump, right? It can’t be both ways.
The drop of oil price to damn near zero during the pandemic was due to the pandemic, yes.
Disney isn't leaving Florida. But they do certainly have things they can do to push back against this. I would assume this is going directly to the courts because it seems obviously retaliatory for Disney speaking out against HB 1557. They could cancel or downsize their Lake Nona project where they were bringing staff over from California. Maybe most importantly for DeSantis, they could bankroll his opponent.
DeSantis is doing Disney a favor, you think Disney wants to defend the opposition of this Bill? Hell no, the majority of families don't want this behavior in elementary school, and they are the bread and butter of Disney.
Glad to see you admit that since I’ve seen posted repeatedly on this message board that Trump was responsible for the low gas prices in 2020
I've never seen it posted that he was responsible for the low prices strictly for 2020. The price of oil was approx $60 a barrel right before the pandemic, it had been in that neighborhood for several years. It has not been back since, and the policies of this admin currently won't get it back there either.
It absolutely does not go both ways. Government actions and actions by a private corporation are not close to the same thing. For better or worse corporate donations to politicians has been ruled free speech. Retaliation by the government against a corporation for cutting off donations or for speaking out against a specific law is a clear cut free speech violation.
So treating Disney as every other corporation in the State is retribution? The bill being sent to DeSantis isn't punishing Disney at all, it's simply removing their special status, that no one else has.
The why is what makes it retribution. This doesn't happen if Disney doesn't speak out against HB 1557. If DeSantis did this two years ago no one would give a crap. But it's clearly being done because he's upset Disney spoke out against him.
Exactly. They aren’t going anywhere warm because those prospective areas are almost all Red. Furthermore, the liberal heart of Florida is Orange County. Who will make up the shortfall? Liberals in Orange and Osceola counties.
Whoa!! Hold that horse. DISNEY interjected itself into the political process with virtue signaling venom. The fact that it is getting looked at is it’s own doing. Making Disney the victim in this is laughable. Like out loud laughable.
That's the great part about free speech. You can inject yourself into the political process without fear of a government response. That is very clearly not happening here.
It's not retribution to treat them as every other corporation. Retribution would be to treat them worse than every other corporation. As I stated earlier though, this gives Disney an out to not get involved in the "Don't say Gay" bill.
I suspect that Disney competitors are very interested to see Disney lose the government benefit that gives it a great marketplace advantage. Why is leveling the playing field bad for business?
I would dare say none of them cater to one individual Corporation that runs a County size area. The rest of your post is likely correct which is why I stated Desantis is doing Disney a favor, likely at their request so they have an out with the " dont say gay" crazies up in arms about the Bill.
That's a fair point about the grooming, and I submit that these woke teachers are not at all grooming these kids to be gay, trans, or victims, for the very reasons you brought forth. No, what they are doing is that they are grooming them to be woke, and, yes, you can absolutely try to do that to the whole room at once. I have mixed feelings about whether laws are needed to prohibit indoctrinating children, but, even if not, the whole process still sucks.
