What do you mean with Jim Shull? Did I miss something?
Jim, per Len, has apparently been paid by Miral for quite some time to work on the project.

Thanks I didn't know that. I understand now!

I am sure there are plenty of people that will work on this project. I am not sure how Jim Shull goes to the broader point, that is, reconciling those who made very public statements about how LGBTQ issues were being handled in Florida vs the very clear danger facing those who visit Dubai for any length of time.

My public statement is he did a terrible job with EPCOT and he should stay away from Dubai for that reason. I, like most normal people, don't care what he does in his personal life and we all should keep personal views personal.
It's a broader point about hypocrisy when boatloads of money come to your front door... Jim was one of the loudest voices against the Lake Nona project (arguably helping to sink a major project for the company and Orlando itself), and yet says nothing about DLAD because of $$$. Zach spoke out with Florida, but not with DLAD, again because of $$$. It's hypocritical and kind of offensive.

I recently found a tiktok of a pretty high up imagineer that works in the China division that does pro China tiktoks(his whole account is just one big China ad, doesn't post about anything else), his tiktok doesnt state anything about working for Disney and kind of gives off the same vibe the company attempted with Zach Riddley's PR expierment, almost as if they're starting or running that playbook adjusted again.

That's a weird take. This guy has a private social media presence with little to no Disney content and, as far as we can tell, absolutely no vetting from Disney, who may indeed not want to be associated with it. He also briefly appeared in a video from WDI about a project he worked on. That doesn't seem very similar to the Zach Riddley social media experiment at all. I think this guy deserves to be left alone, to be honest.
I am kind of aware of him as one of his videos about Australian beef in China went a little viral in Australia not too long ago amidst all the discussion of tariffs. Had no idea he had any association with Disney.
