You make a good point. From the employees' perspectives I would hope they carry out the law fairly no matter the intentions of creating it. It would be in their best interests not to subvert it in either direction. Just follow the law and leave it at that.
FDOT is performing safety inspections as they were obligated to do by legislation. This entire discussion is the equivalent of arguing with the cop over the speeding ticket you got. He didn’t make the law he’s just enforcing it.
The problem though is that a good employee can be a huge benefit to the coercive intent. If you want to disrupt operations then you send the guy who is going to do a thorough job because they are going to take time and maintain the veneer of oversight.
I'm just a bit confused. Are we to believe that DeSantis is ignorant enough to think that the mere threat of shutting down the WDW monorail system for a few random hours on 4th of July would be enough for Disney to back away from their entire company-wide global DEI program?
You know full well that it’s about inflicting pain on one’s enemies. It’s retribution.
Change in the condition of the monorails is needed.
I admire your restraint in continuing to respond to those who just don't seem to get it. Also this wording is VERY specific! Like, I cannot see how people can read this any other way. I think most people can, but we've got some kind of wild ones on here lol.
Cause the state has so many monorail experts! Nothing will get fixed, it's just something else to hold over Disney's head for them to comply with how the government wants them to behave.
Which has absolutely nothing to do with motivation for this legislation. Its sole purpose is to punish Disney for locking in a comprehensive plan already approved by the state because that was reported on in an embarrassing manner.
That may be. That's not coercive, though. Is your position that Disney is being coerced into doing something by way of these monorail inspections?
Don’t give us this pedantic nonsense. You know full well that the underlying desire is to control. Don’t play these cutesy games that because an outcome is not achieved it somehow negates the clearly stated motives and objectives.
Control what, specifically? You claimed that the state has "coercive intent" by implementing this monorail inspection scheme, yet you've failed to highlight a single thing that they might force Disney to do, lest they suffer the consequences by way of the monorail system. I had taken the liberty of speculating that they might try to shut down the monorail system on a busy day, like 4th of July, but I think we can both agree that would hardly be enough to make Disney back off their DEI agenda, which spans their entire global operation. The monorail system goes 101 nearly every day at this rate, including busy days like 4th of July, with rather negligible impact to operations most days.
Again, efficacy does not negate intent.
Ok, then what acts of coercion related to the monorails do you anticipate out of the state, and what do you believe the end goal of such acts to be?
Why are you playing dumb? You know full well that the intent of all of these laws was to change Disney’s corporate governance and creative decisions. That they have not yet been effective does not change that purpose or signal that those involved have given up.
Is government retribution really that much better than government coercion? Either way, the goal is to make things difficult for Disney.
