No. Free speech isn’t limited to eloquent speech. People can say any stupid thing they want in whatever dumb way they want to say it. It doesn’t matter if Chapek also made a bunch of vile comments about state officials. It doesn’t matter. He could have even done it while yelling “Fire!” in a theater and handing out anti-war leaflets.
You added the “animated film” qualifier. I introduced clear facts undercutting your core argument.
But is incredibly slow, boring, and not something either side can amplify or make more interesting as the process drones on for years. They don't control the venue... they don't control the timing... they don't control the presentation. It's a bog they can't make dance like they can their own venues and messages.
Agreed, and I said something similar earlier. It does though not stop it from being talked about. An ongoing challenge though is a reason to keep bringing the subject up. Every speech can include a mention of how Disney is trying to use activist judges to maintain their special treatment and how the state is fighting against such special interests. The whole argument for no action is operating under the assumption that if Disney doesn’t act then nothing will happen, even though this subject has come back up despite Disney not acting.
Actually I didn’t. That was added by the original poster I was discussing this with him. You jumped in mid conversation with your own agenda. You do you I guess.
I agree with all of this. I also think it’s why we won’t see a public compromise now. I do think there’s a good chance this gets delayed whether by the legislature or by the courts. Either way this will be milked until it stops being useful.
I don’t think you have an agenda. That wasn’t directed at you and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with us disagreeing on this topic. There are many things we agree on, doesn’t have to 100%. We can agree to disagree on how much of a conclusion can be drawn by a few films over a very limited period. You are assuming the only reason Disney animated features under performed was this conflict with DeSantis but I think it’s hard to place all of the blame on that. I don’t disagree they didn‘t have their best year, but other Disney movies did fine. If it’s a boycott that’s causing the decline are people really splitting hairs and only boycotting animated films? That to me seems like a stretch. We will see as time goes on.
Why is the past tense better than the present tense? Why is “I’m doing this and will keep doing it” better than “I did this and will do it again”?
Bolded for emphasis.
Here is the law.
Appreciate this.Here is the law.
And leaders of the state houses are on the record as being open to making just such changes.
Florida may tweak resign-to-run law to aid a potential DeSantis 2024 run, leaders say
The current law says individuals running for federal office must resign. But some lawmakers think even under that law, DeSantis could run.www.tampabay.com
And it costs both parties an incredible amount of (wasted) money. Whether they realize it or not, FL taxpayers are paying for this hissy fit from their govenor.
True! RCID will go away, another entity will be created to fill the void that will not look like nor be named RCID but cover all the necessary functions, the state, counties, WDW and other parties involved will continue just fine. The small army of legal eagles working out the legal language and details are billing a ton of hours (yeah, they are happy) and the everyday citizen? will just foot the bills and have to survive with the results.
You are one who was characterizing the speech as problematic because it was a “threat.”
