What's with all the brand new accounts popping up with only 1 post?

Seems like old times. It’s the new COVID or Splash Mountain.

I was thinking about that...how there are so many lawyers in this thread...but then it occurred to me. The lawyer profession is a very large percentage of the small subset of people that can now afford a disney vacation (according to most on this site at least). So it should surprise no one that so many lawyers could be on a disney fan page.

And epidemiologists and economists and financial advisors and respiratory specialists.

Oh yes, I remember all of the "nurses" here during the covid era.

Should Disney get away with this - probably not. It sets a bad example for the future.

It's like Hyatt getting bought out by Marriott and at the last minute Hyatt coming up with something through their lawyers saying your can't fired anyone for five years.

That actually happens all the time with hostile takeovers. In corporate world it’s called a poison pill and the intent is to either avoid the unwanted takeover or at least protect existing workers.

As far as getting away with things…..should a Governor get away with punishing a corporations for speaking out against one of his policies? I think we are long past caring about setting bad precedent.

I’ve missed the Splash Mountain “debate” but I’m assuming professors of various studies appeared.

These weren't posted immediately, I did see somewhere that they were on the Orange County Register website the whole time though. I'm not sure about that. The contracts have some info about public record and that RCID wasn't going to post them or something like that, I can't remember exactly what it said.

Time stamps show not posted until March 6.

At least they're all making such original and valid points.

Perhaps its all the descendants making their presence known...

It's really not like that at all. I can see why it would seem that way to a layman, though.

There is a a closer analogy with the DisneylandForward initiative. That's a case where Disney is asking the city government to basically abdicate their responsibility toward zoning and planning to allow Disney to build whatever they want.

I understand there is a difference between a duely elected city government and the board appt by the governor, but it still sets this precedent that a corporation can work to elect a friendly government with the purpose of setting up the corporation to act without the input of the electorate. I do not care for that idea at all.

Unless someone is claiming expertise they don't have, I don't see how this applies. Are laymen not allowed to discuss these issues?

Oh, by all means. I just assumed since many folks here bring up accreditations in certain arguments. Also, we can now add dishwasher to the roster of job experience.

That's not dissimilar to how things already work. That's the biggest reason corporations spend so much money lobbying -- so that elected officials will do what they want.

The big difference, though (and you alluded to this), is that in this specific scenario Disney essentially is the electorate. That makes it hard to apply to basically anywhere else.

And I don't like the precedent of a state going after a corporation for enacting their 1st amendment rights but here we are.

I think this was previously shared, but oof, $1300/hr?

I'll do it for half and after a few hours give them the bad news....

It'll cost DeSantis' handpicked board at least $1,300 per hour to hire a team of lawyers to investigate how Disney outmaneuvered them

The Florida government will pay two law firms hefty fees just to get themselves out of a mess they previously made.

Going after a corporation because it simply didn't agree with them is also unacceptable. That is the sign of a wannabe dictator.

Or the state removing an electorates power to vote/elect their representation because they don’t agree with the electorates politics.

With Disney now directly the subject of these legal attacks (and no longer RCID), it makes me wonder if they can now unleash first amendment/retaliatory type arguments. Tweets like this make it pretty easy. They can't help themselves.

Call me crazy, but I'm starting to think Disney is about 2 steps ahead in this game.....
