Nor should you but it is really touching to see your countrymen finish our national anthem for us when the PA system goes out at events. We could never do O Canada and it showsI, also Canadian, stood as sign of respect for my “host country”, but did not recite the pledge. Long live the King!
Elon's Twitter sure is weird. My hashtag campaign is off to a great start, though!But I'm sure my Twitter hashtag campaign will surely bend the company to our will!!
How many "experts" did WaPo need to figure this one out, exactly?
And his descendants, if necessary.I, also Canadian, stood as sign of respect for my “host country”, but did not recite the pledge. Long live the King!
The Puerto Rico thing is interesting. They have a former naval base - Roosevelt Roads - that's sitting unused. Disney could make a hell of a resort there, that includes not only theme parks, but even a seaport for DCL. Hell, it already has an airport with a huge runway where they could send flights to.Could Disney move out of Florida? No way, experts say.
As the company feuds with DeSantis, politicians have urged the company to relocate, a nearly unthinkable prospect

Someone quick look at that Marvel contract and see if they can have the Avengers at a park in PR. It’s technically East of the Mississippi but since it’s an island does that countThe Puerto Rico thing is interesting. They have a former naval base - Roosevelt Roads - that's sitting unused.

That's not how a private webpage based in the UK, outside of US jurisdiction, works.It’s getting hard to drill back through threads, too many post getting deleted. So much for 1A here.
Not to mention the weather is better there year round Just wish it was a bit warmer some of the time but I say that more about central FloridaDisney's filmed plenty in Puerto Rico and Marvel has a Fantastic Four book set in Puerto Rico, so... it's a fun pipe dream.
I don't always agree with @Chi84 on these forums but if the world was full of people like that to disagree with, I think global peace would be an option.I hate to give you both credit…
…but I feel compelled to buy you drinks on this thread
The picture you're painting is of a very nihilistic political party who just wants to burn everything down, including their own party.This is so disconnected from reality.
Define "the party."
If by "the party" you mean "the rank-and-file people who vote in Republican primaries," those people HATE Chris Christie, Nikki Haley, Asa Hutchinson, Lindsay Graham, Mike Pence and so on and so on.
What Ron DeSantis is doing is anti-Conservative, but the Republican Party is not a Conservative party anymore, they're a populist party. Pick your term... the Republican Establishment, the GOP elites, the RINOs, the Swamp, the Georgetown cocktail party crowd, the Rockefeller Republicans, the Zombie Raeganists... DeSantis wants to be attacked by those people because the GOP primary voters hate those people. DeSantis wants to be out of step with his party's establishment.
He’s my lawyer…
…but only to negotiate contracts on my budding career as a mime/exotic dancer
What am I?!?... Okay - now the eating churros off you thing makes more sense.
I'd still rather a plate, though.
Just the same, let me know if you're ever heading down to Tampa. I'll have a fresh roll of nickles on hand to make it rain for ya'!

So are pennies.What am I?!?

It's actually south of the Mississippi, since it isn't on the North American continent, as steamed up as the Disney Co is right now, I don't think Comcast would even try to enforce that contract to PR if they thought it applied. But if we're speculating on new parks to retaliate against Tallahassee (and I like the PR idea); Australia has said that they would like to have a Disney resort, they said it especially loud after Shanghai gave China three, and if Disney wound up with the 20th Century Fox Australia Studio in the Sidney area; they already have a huge chunk of land in the country's #1 tourist destination area that they can build on. Personally, I would like them to go on a major spree in California. They potentially have room for two parks on land they own in Anaheim and what would probably be a moderately complected real estate deal could might finally get them Knott's Berry Farm; which has room for a major Disney expansion, another park and a resort hotel and shops. Just mud in the eye for DeSantis to see money and energy diverted from Florida, because of him, back to where it was diverted to Florida from in the first place; because karma can be a royal !Someone quick look at that Marvel contract and see if they can have the Avengers at a park in PR.

I've tried to come up with a way to say this at least two dozen times in responses on this thread and given up on most of them.People keep confusing somethings being cheaper for disney to mean the net must be cheaper for disney… else why would they do this?
Somethings can be done cheaper through RCID vs having the company do it themselves… but that is something in isolation. OVERALL - it still is more expensive for disney because they still pay for the majority of public infrastructure things through their taxes and fees… verse splitting the costs with far more other tax payers like in any other situation.
Instead of having no infrastructure and few tax payers…. They have tons of infrastructure with few tax payers.
They get advantages but it’s not cheaper overall by simple math. Disney is paying over 85% of all the money that funds the local infrastructure and administration. What other scenario has a single tax payer covering that much of your budget and you still have an advanced system of public services and infrastructure?
Tax advantages like having rcid fund or own thing doesn’t equate to 80% cheaper!
Disney pays the overhead because they get to control it and manage it how they see fit.
So its possible for it to be more expensive to have this arrangement- while still being a fiscal advantage in certain elements
