I actually thought about this awhile back and I can see a scenario where Disneyland closes. There are any number of possible paths that could lead to that end, but one thing that came to my mind is a corporate merger or hostile takeover of the Walt Disney Company. When Elon Musk was trying to...

They're not trying to hide the fact that they targeted Disney because they didn't do anything to penalize Disney by denying them any rights or benefits that any other company is entitled to in the state. They simply took away a privilege that they had given Disney decades ago when the state...

I used to get moderated constantly and I'd ask the moderator to explain why my posts were censored. They never would respond. They would call something political and then decline to explain how it was political, meanwhile much more blatant posts on the other side were left alone. I ended up...

It's possible. Disney+ seems like it's poised to stall in growth, or maybe even shrink. They have a lot of eggs in that basket.

This site is absolutely ridiculous with it's over-censoring of political discussion, but it's obvious that's it's really only one side that gets censored.

Elon's net worth is more than the value of the entire Disney company. Think about that. That includes Marvel, star wars, Pixar... Everything owned by Disney is worth less than the internet's most amusing troll.

Fair points! But then again, some would have you believe they've just been handed $2 billion by the state government. That would surely drive the stock up.

Yeah. Disney stock has been hammered since all this came up. It's down 2% just today. This isn't good news, folks!

It is absolutely true. Targeted legislation goes both ways.

Oh. Well if you say so. I guess they created it 55 years ago for no reason.

It exempts WDW from oversight that the other Orlando parks are subject to.

Keep telling yourself that. Doesn't make it true.

That's pretty unlikely though. Even as antagonistic as Florida is right now, it's still more business friendly than California. And Republicans aren't trying to exempt Disney from any business benefits that apply to everyone. They're most removing Disney's unfair advantage with RDIC.

Everyone remember that they made this bill broad enough to apply to a number of special districts so that they can't be blamed for targeting Disney specifically. Also keep in mind that Disney has been benefitting from similar legislative carve outs forever that are broad enough to not target...

To the people who think this is good for Disney, you're in denial. If this would have saved Disney a single penny, they would have lobbied for this change themselves long ago. The spin on this story is crazy.
