You fight both sides if you have to. Same as Disney is going to fight this with PR and eventually in the courts.
As I mentioned in my post, I get that they're trying the "throw everything at the wall" approach to hedge their bets; I'm just pointing out that this has led to contractions in their position which opens it up to more scrutiny and may hurt their argument in the end. This is fundamentally different from how Disney is handling things, regardless how many channels they use.

How is the state doing anything they can to undo the contracts even if it leads to contradicting themselves the "same" as Disney making one consistent argument in multiple channels? It's not.

I’ll put it in terms you can understand.

Miami is the NYC (it wishes!) in this analogy, and Fort Lauderdale is the NJ.
I covered this one earlier:

1. River (swim it at your own peril)
2. State line
3.

I still think if Disney goes to court they’re gonna go after it all, including the underlying bill that started this mess.

This is a prime case of the around, find out diagram and I think DeSantis is about to find out the hard way.
If you look 4,000 posts ago…this was my stance from the start

It’s almost inconceivable that the US Supreme Court would side with an extra layer of State oversight OVER one of the country (and worlds) most well known private companies

It’s antithetical to everything we sing songs about and put on our truck Bumper stickers for the last 200 years.

They are messing with powers they don’t fully understand in Tally…

And that’s Wall Street. There is no way in hell they want transient pols messing with billion dollar gravy trains.

It’s the one slippery slope that even Wall Street won’t look for dollars on.

This all should be a slam dunk win for Disney. It REALLY should…
But we don’t know how it’s gonna play out yet.



…my point is I think there’s a volatility - when in courts - that we can’t trust because decorum was cast off…
And Disney’s legal is likely consumed by that.

They can’t sue and lose…not an option.

If he turned the state into a prison why do thousands of people from all over the world keep relocating to FL and millions keep visiting annually?
And welcome to the forum !
I’m not agreeing the state is a prison in general, however the agenda he is pushing probably does make it seem that way for certain people he is targeting. It’s easy to say, if you don’t like it just move somewhere else but not everyone can afford to just quit their job and move to another state. So for those people they are stuck and it probably does feel something like a prison.

Because they think they’ll have more money…

In boom’s case: not pay as much and smite the people that ma and pa didn’t tell them would still be around…”poor people”…in essence.

It’s about money…all of it. All the “freedom” and “morality” and “taking back”

Money…greed…the worlds strongest narcotic.

Yeah it’s clear to anyone paying attention that they are throwing poo at the wall for sure. The state wants out of the contract so they can control Disney. They don’t really care how and they don’t really care about the optics either. The Governor told anyone who would listen….he was going to win. That’s all that we are seeing now. He doesn’t worry about the rule of law or looking like a cry baby. He calls a press tantrum and rants about winning and sticking it to woke Disney. His sheep eat that up but the masses just shake their heads. It’s kinda sad to see. He was supposed to be the adult in the room for that primary but I think nationally that ship may have sailed.

From the DSM-V:

"The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) describes NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder) as possessing at least five of the following nine criteria.[2]

  • A grandiose sense of self-importance
  • Preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal
  • Believing that they are "special" and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)
  • Requiring excessive admiration
  • A sense of entitlement (unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with their expectations)
  • Being interpersonally exploitative (taking advantage of others to achieve their own ends)
  • Lacking empathy (unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others)
  • Often being envious of others or believing that others are envious of them
  • Showing arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes"
Sound like anyone we know?

I get such a kick out of all the media headlines that proclaim words to the effect of “DeSantis to void the Disney agreement,” as if he or any government body can simply declare a contract void. What the headlines should say is “DeSantis to exhibit more false bravado and claim Disney agreement is void, only to set himself up to suffer yet another embarrassing defeat.”
