Disney isn’t building anything anywhere any time soon. Stock just went into the toilet.

My ex works in Feature Animation. They’re all t shirts, shorts, etc.

Regarding Lake Nona, glad it’s finally dead.

First thought... 1986 memories

But my second thought means we have this in common:

I was happy and sad Seaver couldn't pitch in that series. Sad because Seaver couldn't pitch, happy because torn loyalties. I may or may not have had a transistor radio and ear plug wire run up the back of my shirt that October

The ex-imagineers we poached dress similarly.

Umm, the stock is actually up a bit right now.

Don't let facts get in the way of a good narrative, buster!

Indoors. Air conditioning.

My Caribbean/Floridian skin isn't comfortable in any temperature below 80 degrees.

Florida AC is so cold at times one needs to layer up to prevent goosebumps.

DeSantis will paint this as a win. I guarantee it. “We’ve forced them from bringing their woke California employees to Florida”… or something like that. He is too predictable.

You are probably right. Companies, officials etc with the help of their PR machine are good at spinning things to make them think they look better.

It just makes it more clear that current Florida is anti-business. I bet the Lake Nona community is absolutely livid with the state right now.

It’s going to be harder to spin that, considering the headline news is that Florida is losing $1 billion, especially for Republican donors.

The local businesses and local governments will surely disagree. When you run a business there are no woke dollars coming in…..they are just dollars. Property values may take a hit too. Hard to tie that directly to this but could have an impact.

So your point is in relation to what?

See my previous post. The veil has been lifted, Florida is anti-business.

Wild guess but when DeSantis makes an announcement next week he will spin this and CFTOD to make him look good.

He’s never admitted to a loss so checks out

DeSantis office saying it’s not their fault basically
