Peace out WDW Magic…about to head into Maria and Enzo’s and knock back some Good Friday shots
I never said trump wouldn't win. As much as I don't like trump he does understand how media works and how to manipulate them. Desantis does not.If I provide the banana peels for Mr. fusion, can I get a ride into the future? It sounds like you made the trip already.
It also sounds like your Delorean was broken prior to the 2016 election.
Get ‘em while you can….it will take a while to get to ignoring the 21st amendment but once he gets there its back to bathtub moonshine and sneaking off to Canada or maybe Cuba is closerPeace out WDW Magic…about to head into Maria and Enzo’s and knock back some Good Friday shots
So basically, you won't read the contents of the linked legal and court documents that conflict with what you want to believe? I know, reading is hard sometimes.I don’t need to go back and read every single thing that was posted by random people who don’t give up their true identity.
We don’t want a full on political thing here…
But I think you might be reading the politics of Florida wrong. Desantis isn’t “imposing his will” on the legislature and voters…they are creating him by this new grievance culture thing.
Not just Florida. We have a pretty obvious national example
But, how is it an abuse of power? That agreement was made in 1967 because Walt wanted to build an actual city, which the company never did after his death. They’ve been benefiting ever since for no good reason. Sea World, Universal, etc., don’t have that luxury. So it’s an abuse of power to bring Disney down to everyone else’s standards??
Don’t forget that Disney’s $18/hr is 63% above the required FL minimum wage. Lots of other businesses in the area will also have to raise wages to compete which benefits many citizens working in those types of jobs.Disney is the largest taxpayer in Florida. Also the biggest tourism generator. We live in the area & provide engineering services for new construction at WDW & can say absolutely they work at a higher standard than 99% of other industries here. Disney is a great neighbor & community partner, they support schools, the arts, environment. Everything they build exceeds state codes & is reviewed internally at least 3 times. They rarely make mistakes. This takes extra manpower/hours, but they pay their way. They're not taking from local taxpayers, quite the contrary. They made Central Florida what it is, even if their visitors are terrible drivers.
This fight stems from us having a bitter vindictive gov who has delusions he's king, & Disney dared disagree very publically w his petty bitter culture attacks, many based on falsehoods. Good for Disney. desantis has shown himself to be more than willing to hurt whoever he wants. This is not a good leadership quality. He won an easy race after barely winning his 1st run, but ppl are disgusted that he's let utilities & insurance ruin ppls lives &:he's coming for DocSec & Medicare. He's got skeletons, too, & will likely face some problems before '24.
Leave Disney alone ron. They're good for us.
BTW, The Villages has the same arrangement w the state as Disney, will he come for them next?
With the State's most valuable corporation. It's actually insane.
Sometimes it’s even bannedSo basically, you won't read the contents of a linked legal and court documents that conflict with what you want to believe? I know, reading is hard sometimes.
Disney bottom line has nothing to do with WDW. WDW is actually cash cow. the issue was Disney +, covid shutting down movie income and overall inflation and economy in general. And all corporations are involved in politics since corporations started. They donate to politicians, they hire lobbyist for their causes and in this case they had every right to come out against a law that effects their employees in that state.Maybe Disney should stay out of politics? It probably shouldn’t amaze me how ignorant so many of you are here.
The bottom line doesn’t lie and Disney is butt hurt right now. Universal can give them a pep talk.
Happy Easter !
Disney 1st qtr 2023 earnings $23.1Bil, up $8Bil from 2020. They're laying off 7k ppl, 3% of staff but most big companies are laying off more. Facebook, YankeeCandle layoffs 15%. The DumpDisney movement online has 30k signers, 0.0004% of US. The DW haters are largely RW fringe extremists that suddenly see sex in movies they've enjoyed for years because desantis told them it's there. It's the Talibangecals getting their minority fearful & angry, to keep them popping off online. They won't beat Disney.I disagree. I dont think Disney is "butt hurt" today at all.
People on YouTube keep saying that Disney is in a "panic" right now. No...they are not. They are not worried, not scared, not concerned at all. Disney will remodel itself and adjust it's structure but it will 100% continue it's march forward. It's message will not be changed and it will not waiver on its goals. Disney does not "really" fear it's box office sales either. It's all about getting the message out and Disney calculates the acceptance and "cost" of their message delivery PERFRCTLY. Box office success and failure are calculated into their model....well in advance.
Disney is not affraid. They are literally fearless.
Disney donated to GOP candidates and now it's unlikely they will again.Disney bottom line has nothing to do with WDW.

Can all the people that say: "DeSantis this" or "DeSantis that".....just replace that name with "59.4% of Florida voters"
Love him or hate him....both are fine. He is literally a represntative of almost 60% of the voting citizens of Florida. He is doing what his voters put him in office to do.
Its NOT "Disney vs DeSantis"....it's really "Disney vs 60% of Florida voters"
You’re telling me that Iger doesn’t use Walt Disney’s name to his advantage, which, really…can be an abuse of power?

BRAVO!Whether Disney should or shouldn't "stay out of politics" is up to Disney, its board, its shareholders and your vote as a customer is your wallet. That's how America works and has always worked.

Welcome to the boards! Might want to check out the TOSDisney 1st qtr 2023 earnings $23.1Bil, up $8Bil from 2020. They're laying off 7k ppl, 3% of staff but most big companies are laying off more.

FTR, I'm 30 mins from Disney & haven't been there in 20 years. I'm not a Disneyphile, but know what's fair, like the deal Florida made to get them here, & have Disney stock that's doing very well long run. The Mouse will prevail & desantis will show himself as a bitter bully. His skin is VERY thin & Disney isn't afraid of his blustering.
Iger isn't an elected official...You’re telling me that Iger doesn’t use Walt Disney’s name to his advantage, which, really…can be an abuse of power?
