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.
What would the point be? They can't just create taxes and hold onto the money. They need a reason to tax and spend, and they can't run surpluses at the end of fiscal years.
If there was correlation with Ronny it would have affected the parks which is pretty much the division spared most of the layoffs.
If only this forum allowed you not to follow and post in threads you found tedious.
The existence of the 'Don't Say Gay' bill is what started the whole thing. Ronnie didn't create the bill, sure, but as the quasi-'King of Florida' that he rules the state gov with, he is the face of it. Even though it wasn't his legislation.
The post I responded to was specifically saying that Disney‘s competitors were growing and thriving while Disney deals with this situation. I see no evidence of that being the case. None. If Disney was so greatly impacted they wouldn’t be talking about expanding. I agree we don’t know what the $17B will be spent on or if it actually gets spent, but if the spend results in 13,000 new jobs it has to be more than just maintenance and infrastructure spend.
