It's a good fight, nothing but upside for Florida. The sheer number of jobs, and tax revenue connected to Disney World, casts a long shadow in the halls of state government. A  2019 study found Disney dominates the Central Florida tourism industry, according to Oxford Economics, and produced:   $75.2 billion annual economic impact for Central Florida. 463,000 jobs.  $5.8 billion in additional state tax revenue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Disney’s then-CEO, Bob Chapek, facing pressure from his employees, reluctantly objected to the bill, leading DeSantis to criticize the company. When DeSantis signed the legislation into law, Disney announced it would push for its repeal. DeSantis then targeted Disney’s special governing powers. https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/08/politics/ron-desantis-disney-florida-district-retaliation/index.html  *******  The Big Mouse didn't stay in it's own lane. It decided it wanted to be a political entity more than a business and a brand. So DeSantis treated them like a political enemy. Disney's total valuation is somewhere around 150 billion dollars. So, a fair question here, should they be considered a "private entity" anymore? They have massive influence, they've donated to the point of having massive political influence, they came out in public and engaged in political conflict, and have a financial warchest to sustain a projected political battle of wills if need be. In Mexico, it's an open secret that the major drug Cartels, through shells and intermediaries, basically own the resorts and tourist areas. They also have a widespread rule to not hurt any Americans and tourists. It's bad for business and if you keep doing that, you will start a fight with the American government. BUT WITH THE CAVEAT THAT IF YOU WANT TO BE TREATED LIKE A CIVILIAN, THEN YOU HAVE TO ACT LIKE ONE.  As long as the tourists don't go doing "gangster" level crap , they are treated like civilians. But if you go out there as an American acting like a bandit and do stick ups and crime and try to sell your own drugs, what do you think happens then? If you want to have the safety of a tourist, act like a tourist. If you want to be a pretend gangster in a vicious den of real gangsters, then don't be surprised if you get massacred. Big Mouse could have just stuck to making bad Star Wars movies and lame overrated comic book movies. Instead they drifted out of their lane. They decided to F##K AROUND. Now they have to FIND OUT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
