That's a VIP upcharge. It includes a cupcake too.

Quite literally, nobody has even suggested Disney wants to do that. What has been suggested and discussed is how Disney could react to a state becoming hostile beyond a breaking point to the company. Disney wanting to operate in a state that is not actively hostile to them isn't some stretch...

Lots of politics today is about making the pool of voters smaller not about appealing to a majority of voters or people in general. In a pool of 100 voters, if 36 already like me, instead of convincing 15 more it may be easier to eliminate 29 from the pool.

They don't even need to follow through and do that. The threat of doing it would create enormous leverage over Disney. That's clearly what they want. They want to be able to say Disney should adjust Disney+, movie, and whatever other content. Even if that isn't an action available to the...

In the abstract, and in isolation, I would agree with this. However, context matters. If this thread was titled something like: "Reasons to boycott Disney!" "Dangers to Disney stock price." "Has Disney gone to woke?" "Is Disney management competent?" All very possible threads...

Looks like half of that is to RCID. That's probably just break even on the snow plowing expenses.

A passed bill that changes the legal structure is by definition not just for show. A just for show bill is one proclaiming something like "today is state neener neener day". Impacting, or even the threat to impact operations is what creates the control. The board in their statements and...

Nothing Disney has done in reaction to the government moves has been for show. I would even say, Disney has specifically avoided doing anything remotely related to just PR. They were super quiet when we were all wondering how they would respond. Each Disney step has been purposeful and with...

Yes.

You can buy a new wife as DS? What does the current wife think of this?

That would be a large escalation by Disney. As generally risk adverse and more politically neutral, I do not expect to see Disney do this. However, from the outside where I don't have to worry about any repercussions or running a business, it would be interesting to see. At some point, the...

Imagine how the bubble would have looked different if they had done this. The roads themselves and the entrances and exits to the surrounding area would likely all be different. Instead of building 4 theme parks, 2 water parks, retail, and hotels it might have been one huge complex. Put the...

Rank them in order of size. Is this one in the top 50?

He’s not retaliatory just incompetent is his position?

Just as important, the few that make it virtually instead of only all bought in after the district existed and understood what they were getting into. Nobody governed by the district was unaware of the structure when buying.

Why? Exactly which public are these officials governing that have no say? “to public officials who serve at the pleasure of their constituents” would be just as accurate.

We are 17,000+ posts in. There are several topics that are well settled. At this point, anyone using false talking points or misrepresenting how the District works isn’t a mistake or lack of knowledge. It’s purposeful justification to satisfy a point of view. I’ve taken to just putting them...

Without seeing all the details, I assume they want a new appointee that can take actions. Probably someone appointed by the board, or a board member, instead of a career position. That would be the best way to create leverage.

By twisting its meaning into something different. Attempting to obscure the original meaning and make it a meaningless catch phrase. A common tactic, Fake News as another example. That’s nostalgia and no longer true. People like that are called RINO now. The new right has a different view on...
