But other states are not. TX is booming with companies moving there in large numbers with no fear of this type of attack. It’s still a very business friendly state for the most part. It’s not a GOP thing….it’s a DeSantis thing. He knows he’s gone in a few years so he has little care for the state’s long term economy. Sad
So you’re sticking with dissenting political speech being wrong? That’s your final answer?
Look I’m not going to get into a pixie match with you guys, you can believe what you want just like Disney and I can. All I’m saying is all of this could have been avoided and Disney has been punishing themselves with their (mis)handling of things
They could have kept quiet. They didn’t. How you feel about that ultimately comes down to what you think is right or wrong.
So women create their own problem when discrimination happens? Or jewish people do? How about lgbtq?
I am still not sure what advantages those are. Legitimately. Someone please spell out what one of these advantages is (that Disney would care at all about). What exactly about RCID gives Disney an advantage with no trade off that no one else could also do if they wanted?
wow ok I’m done with this thread. You all enjoy. What is done is done…and again, it could have been avoided and I hate where things are now.
I don’t disagree with your point that Disney speaking out has resulted in this conflict so it’s accurate to say they caused this by speaking out. Where I think you are hearing a lot of push back is whether the reaction by the government is right/legal/justified. TWDC made the decision to speak out knowing it may cost them business. Companies make these decisions every day. You can’t please everyone. If the result was a loss in business from some people opposed to their speaking out it wouldn’t be an issue.
Florida is not hostile for business...unless you are Disney, maybe.
Another example, non-Disney, in which the FL govt strips a business of their liquor license for hosting a LGBTQ-themed show.

IT'S LITERALLY THE DEFINITION OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT!
We don’t know that. Yet.
Yes, we do.
The consequences can’t be government retaliation. At least not in this country.
Has any court ruled? Has the US SC ruled on a case involving this issue? No. So we have our opinions on the constitutionality. Experts can look at past precedent and form educated opinions. But that’s it right now.
I would suggest giving Married to the Mouse by Richard Foglesong a read about some of the advantages that Disney has enjoyed in the past. The biggest is that Disney is able to right size the District to its needs. If projects were getting held up by the building department because there wasn’t enough staff to review all of the projects in a timely manner, then Disney is able to get the District to hire more reviewers. There are also issues around the bonds that I would not be able to accurately articulate.
Do you think it should be illegal to hand out anti-war pamphlets? The Supreme Court once ruled that was okay.
My opinion, morals, and values come into play when I vote. Or I could run for office. At the same time, we have to have some level of trust in the courts. Otherwise, we can’t function. They ultimately decide what is unconstitutional. That’s their role in our society.
But those decisions are not static and permanent. We’re also not speculating about a lot of what is happening. Many of those involved have been very open about why they are acting and it is not a concern over land use in Central Florida.
