It’s often easy to assume people are more competent than they seem. It’s easy to assume someone’s theatric behavior is a ploy to gain notoriety and support, but oftentimes, when the curtain is pulled back, the emperor has no clothes and that perceived incompetence is highlighted in full force.
It would be rather funny if a court agreed, because the legislation obviously wasn't predicated on shutting down the Marion County Law Library.
Reedy Creek wouldn’t even be in the news much less being disputed/challenged if they hadn’t stepped in it
No. Disney has the right to say what they want about any political issue without fear of state retaliation. Full stop. No excuses, no blame the victim.
Of course they have the right to say what they want, we all do, but with that can come consequences as well. Disney should just stay in their lane regardless of their positions on things outside running their company. They have enough problems to worry about right now before they create new ones.
Disagree. They should be allowed to be as political as they want without fear of government retaliation until the laws are changed that allow for corporations to do/say what they want. It is up to the consumer to "punish" or "reward" a company, not any level of government.
Agreed, but they were basically still “getting away” with having reedy creek advantages…and they could have revoked that a long time ago. It wouldn’t even be questioned now if they hadn’t made a mess for themselves. I don’t care what side you are on or what you believe, Disney would have less problems in the world if they didn’t create most of their own problems.
Consequence from customers? OK
There are very good arguments that that law does not apply to the Reedy Creek Improvement District, which means there would be no standing. I honestly cannot explain the lack of action by any party, especially bond holders.
Disney doesn’t need a new district to be created, they just need to maintain the one that exists. I think Disney absolutely has a long fight ahead of them, because this does go beyond one individual, and that’s exactly why they need to fight. Not fighting now just sets the precedent that this is something that works to get Disney to do as desired.
At the end of the day, neither side should be doing or have done what they are doing or have done. 2 wrongs don’t make a right yet here we are. Again, this all could have been avoided. And for the record I don’t agree with them coming after Reedy Creek and Disney, all I’m saying is they created their own problem
I didn’t say it was wrong, or even that I don’t agree with them, I just said Disney created their own problem.
What Disney did was not wrong. Flat out. There was only one wrong.
You said "two wrongs don't make a right". Yet there is only one wrong here, the actions of the current Governor of FL and the state legislature.
They are/were both wrong imo. Again, all could have been avoided that’s my point.
You can’t dangle a carrot like that and just walk away!
Yeah, sad to see a state like FL become more hostile towards business than even CA. Strange times. Anyone even considering moving anything to FL has to be on pause at this point. If they are willing to go to these lengths to damage the top employer in the state and major catalyst for their #1 industry imagine if you are just “some average company”.
