Oh she is definitely back but the game is to guess her new name on here.

21Stamps!! Man she always gave me a good laugh.

Wow. That reference. wow...

Wow indeed.

I forgot about 21stamps until now.

I completely forgot about 21stamps until now.

Ahh, the good old days… or as one of my old leaders liked to point out, “a lot of people forget that the good old days weren’t always so good.”

That's swell, but when it comes to an individual child, if the kid's parents' opinion of what their child should be exposed to differs from your opinion, the parents' wishes should rule. Similarly, when it comes to the entire pool of children, if your state legislature's opinion of what the children should be exposed to differs from your opinion (as outlined in legislation), the legislature should control.

Homeschool ‘em then.

Homeschool ‘em then.

Seems like a simple solution to a non-existing problem.

I wonder what the brand damage is to Disney over this whole dust up. With things like the Scarlett Johansson controversy, I doubt the average family was particularly aware that it was even going on. But this is a headline story everywhere, has dragged on for weeks, and may literally be one for the history books if it turns out to be a key springboard for DeSantis’s Presidential bid.

I think the thing that’s particularly difficult with situations like this, is that the average American isn’t particularly informed about politics. So there’s a big risk of people who know little about it thinking “Wasn’t Disney in big trouble with the government or something? Wow, they really must have been up to no good!”

I’ll be extremely curious as to what Disney’s strategy will be to address this situation, moving forward. They must be coordinating some sort of strategy but they’re definitely between a rock and a hard place. I think they will have to replace Chapek at a minimum. I actually pity the poor guy at this point but I don’t see any way they can shoot for a new image (maybe one involving ”unity” or “bringing Americans together again”) with him at the helm, when he’s so associated with this era of Disney and this controversy.

It’s been completely mishandled…and I bet somehow they come out stronger on the other end…

In the court of public opinion Disney stood up in opposition to a bill known as the don't say gay bill. The vast majority of people in the country don’t know what’s in the actual bill and I’d say the majority don’t even actually know that’s not the real name of the bill, but the nickname certainly seems pretty awful. I don’t live in FL but I have to say the majority of casual conversations I have heard about the bill around my area center around people saying “what the heck is going on down in FL”. No way Disney fires their CEO over this. That would be a PR nightmare. Chapek may not last as CEO but they certainly won’t fire him over this.

I hope so. I’ve certainly had my frustrations with Disney in the Chapek era but in the end I hope for years of visits with my son when he’s old enough. Here’s hoping they figure it out.

For some perspective, if RCID is dissolved as planned on June 1st of next year, it will have existed 672x longer than CNN+.

I’m thinking of polls that show 1 in 3 Americans can’t name their own governor and so on. It seems to me that in that group, they won’t even know what the specific controversy was, just that they kept seeing Disney in the news for “something or other that was probably bad.”

No need to fire him and generate more turmoil

“This thing you think is happening, isn’t, and if you dare stop it you’re a close-minded bigot.” Okay.

Your argument seems to be that this makes life harder for TWDC? than why the hell did they lobby so hard for it in the 70s?

From the very beginning, the deal was that in exchange for setting up a stricter regulatory environment Disney would get control.

The problem is that we evaluate and relate to situations based on our own experiences. If we were told we could get a special deal related to our property and/or business the first thing we would all think of is money. We would all want to pay less. 99.9% of the special deals states make with companies is related to money. None of us would ask for greater control over our sewage service and even offer to pay more to get it. The people posting on this site live in well developed areas, stuff like sewage service and water is largely something we tend not to think about unless it breaks. We pay a bill we’d probably like to be cheaper, and most of the time it is just there for our use. It’s not that Disney doesn’t derive benefits from the Reedy Creek Improvement District, they’re just not the things we would really consider to be benefits for ourselves and so it just doesn’t makes sense to a lot of people.
