And this is a guy that turned a swing state dark red.

Florida has been drifting more and more conservative over the years as it attracts a more conservative group but they have always leaned conservative. At least in my lifetime. If you look at it, Florida has voted for the democratic candidate in presidential elections 5 times since WWII. That is 13-5 in the last 80 years, not all that purple if you really look at it.

No question DeSantis has been popular in the state but I think people over estimate the whole "he changed a swing state" narrative. Put a competent opponent against him and I bet he still wins but by much more narrow margins.

Fun Fact: They used to use 'Until Pigs Fly' but that stupid GEICO commercial ruined that.

That and airlines letting people bring every service animal imaginable on their flights.

Should Disney get away with this - probably not. It sets a bad example for the future.

It's like Hyatt getting bought out by Marriott and at the last minute Hyatt coming up with something through their lawyers saying your can't fired anyone for five years.

Except Marriott would notice

Sure, except it's nothing like that at all.

I don’t know all the details, but I think the simple answer would be yes. Not sure they thought that part through.

Agreed. And since when has legitimate American legislation been predicated on the King of England. England is our closest ally, NOT our governing administration!

No. Think of it like this. Disney currently has a two year contract with Iger to be CEO. If Disney were purchased by Apple tomorrow that contract would still exist and Iger would still be entitled to everything in that contract. Apple could not simply invalidate the legally executed contract just because they don’t like it. They would be held to the terms of the contract.

Seems like old times. It’s the new COVID or Splash Mountain.

I was thinking about that...how there are so many lawyers in this thread...but then it occurred to me. The lawyer profession is a very large percentage of the small subset of people that can now afford a disney vacation (according to most on this site at least). So it should surprise no one that so many lawyers could be on a disney fan page.

And epidemiologists and economists and financial advisors and respiratory specialists.

Oh yes, I remember all of the "nurses" here during the covid era.

That actually happens all the time with hostile takeovers. In corporate world it’s called a poison pill and the intent is to either avoid the unwanted takeover or at least protect existing workers.

As far as getting away with things…..should a Governor get away with punishing a corporations for speaking out against one of his policies? I think we are long past caring about setting bad precedent.

I’ve missed the Splash Mountain “debate” but I’m assuming professors of various studies appeared.

 

[EPCOT-O.G.]

These weren't posted immediately, I did see somewhere that they were on the Orange County Register website the whole time though. I'm not sure about that. The contracts have some info about public record and that RCID wasn't going to post them or something like that, I can't remember exactly what it said.

Time stamps show not posted until March 6.

At least they're all making such original and valid points.

Perhaps its all the descendants making their presence known...

It's really not like that at all. I can see why it would seem that way to a layman, though.

There is a a closer analogy with the DisneylandForward initiative. That's a case where Disney is asking the city government to basically abdicate their responsibility toward zoning and planning to allow Disney to build whatever they want.

I understand there is a difference between a duely elected city government and the board appt by the governor, but it still sets this precedent that a corporation can work to elect a friendly government with the purpose of setting up the corporation to act without the input of the electorate. I do not care for that idea at all.

Unless someone is claiming expertise they don't have, I don't see how this applies. Are laymen not allowed to discuss these issues?

Oh, by all means. I just assumed since many folks here bring up accreditations in certain arguments. Also, we can now add dishwasher to the roster of job experience.
