The governor already advanced and signed legislation giving Floridians a relief on tolls charges. With that, and a SunPass transponder, tolls are already a “tax” that hits out of staters (read: non-voters) harder than residents.
Uh welcome to the internet?
Yes because arguments based rampant speculation by laypersons arguing with each other anonymously on the internet will yield a fruitful result.
Did you miss the part where Iger recently said Disney plans to spend $17B at WDW over the next decade adding 13,000 new jobs or the news that Genie+ sold out with Spring Break crowds pushing the parks near capacity? Disney isn’t suffering because of this toddler temper tantrum. Disney too is progressing, entertaining and growing.
It's a beautiful day out. Go enjoy it, rather than argue with people you don't know whose mind you're never going to change.
I saw he said that.
I don’t know what this is supposed to mean. There are laws that limit the types of roads that can be tolled. Those laws would have to be changed. Toll relief doesn’t matter if a whole bunch of roads can now be tolled.
Pot meet kettle
This thread was good for a great morning laugh, while enjoying a great cup of coffee on my way to the gym.
So you really believe that Disney’s layoffs are the result of DeSantis’s actions or the takeover of the RCID board? I mean there’s absolutely no correlation to the 2 at all. I guess people really will believe whatever they want.
The world needs more laughter so glad to be part of that
I didn’t say they were connected, one way or the other. I just don’t think things are as rosy as you portray. Keep in mind a bunch of discounts have been announced in recent weeks, and suddenly APs are being sold again. Those are “levers” mentioned by Disney financiers to adapt to softening demand- adjusting the “unfavorable attendance mix.”
I haven't posted much in here, but have certainly been following and viewing. Having no political affiliation or allegiance to either party myself, the only sad thing is having a front row seat to this pathetic attempt at power (beating of the chest if you will). Hypocrisy comes into mind as well. It's a really sad time for our political system, a 2 party system that is needs an overhaul.
If we're only considering the laws that would affect this situation, as we should be, none of them are anything that SCOTUS would want to take up.
Disney’s ”first punch” was speaking out against a bill, an action protected by the constitution. They took a position shared by hundreds of other companies doing business in FL who weren’t targeted. So yes, their speaking out against the bill did start this whole chain of events but there was no way the company could have or should have anticipated that speaking out would result in all of this.
That’s just it. None of those things he mentioned in his diatribe last night have anything to do with Disney, nor would they punish Disney. But of course the audience at Hillsdale College couldn’t reason through that and ate it up because he was “owning the libs” or whatever.
