Obvious yes.
“WAS DESANTIS CORRECT IN REVOKING DISNEY’S SPECIAL PRIVILEGES?”
no. if what is being said about disney is true then it needs to be shut down, prosecuted, and obliterated.
This times 10,000. Bulldozed and and earth salted…
Disney is an evil entity run and staffed by Satanists.
No business in the service of evil should get
anything from the state except expulsion.
Backpack nuke would solve it. When they are having a staff training day.
Ahh. A good old SADM…
Would do the trick.
Maybe DC also.
Desantis should fire each and every Disney employee, no exceptions, and replace them with graduates from Bible colleges and/or people who speak in tongues. Now, with that out of the way …..
…. a fun short little video for those interested in what happens to the billions of $$$$$ in military equipment Dementia gives to country 404.
It would be a little tricky for the governor of Florida to fire employees of Disney. Government with authority over hiring and firing of employees of private business? What could go wrong?
LOL, Stucky. Snake handlers.
Word going around is that De Santis may have just bailed out the Reedy Creek Improvement District (RCID). It has USD $1 – $2 bln in bonds coming due and has had its cash flow throttled for the last two years. There is nothing stopping RCID from draining its funds and just up and declaring bankruptcy. That would likely put both Orange and Osceola counties on the hook for the bond payments as RCID would dissolve back to these counties’ jurisdictions. The Culture War, just like nationalism, can often be a smokescreen for underlying machinations. We’ll see who laughs last a in a couple of years.

Not unless the county was party to the Disney bonds, otherwise the Disney property would be sold and proceeds used to pay bond holders. I guess you are saying politicians screwed the voters; maybe some investigations are needed. If the county is on the hook, don’t let the property go to Wall Street crooks cheap; let the county turn it into a paying park for their taxpayers.
Yeah, sounds like if that happened, Disney World would belong to the state of Florida or the involved counties. New signage, new policies, and bingo: Welcome to Florida World, the new and improved family friendly theme park.
Exactly. These are all contractual. Unless the counties in question were involved in the bond issuances, they hold no risk. The bond holders will be the losing parties if Disney fails to pay, in that case. On the flip side, even if the counties were party, if Disney fails to uphold its obligation, they now open themselves to other legal problems with the counties. Disney will wind up eating it anyway. This is all propaganda to make DeSantis look bad.
Gov gets it’s end always.
First at the trough is the Feds, then the State, then the counties, then any municipalities.
After all that is when the bondholders get theirs.
Remember, everybody kicks up to the next level and the Feds always get theirs, so.
As pessimistic and suspicious I am of all politicians and tech big shots I must admit I find myself rooting for De Santis and Musk. By no means am I all in with these 2 but they are making sense and breaking new ground against the monsters. Hope? Yeah, I suppose so.
CC, you exactly reflect my thoughts on these two. Don’t want to give them the combination to my gunsafe, but I hope they do good!
Let’s see. Immoral company that pretends to be innocent entertainment for children is in bed with politicians who pretend to have the best interest of the people at heart. Then, lone politician comes around and pretends to clean up. I can’t shake the feeling that nothing has changed.
Nice, Svarga! Agreed.
^^
Grew up with a kid who worked there in the late 80s and alluded to the evil. Of course it was deflected back then and for a long time. Glad it’s seeing the light of day. Sunshine is nature’s disinfectant.
“ The basement, Andrea said, held as many as 16 children and teenagers of different ethnicities. She remembers that it was underneath a house in an upper-middle-class neighborhood on the West Coast. Throughout much of her captivity, this basement was where she was kept when she wasn’t working. ”There was lots of scrawling on the walls,” she said. ”The other kids drew stick figures, daisies, teddy bears. This Mexican boy would draw a house with sunshine. We each had a mat.”
Andrea paused. ”But nothing happens to you in the basement,” she continued. ”You just had to worry about when the door opened.”
She explained: ”They would call you out of the basement, and you’d get a bath and you’d get a dress, and if your dress was yellow you were probably
>>going to Disneyland.” <<<
She said they used color coding to make transactions safer for the traffickers and the clients. ''At Disneyland there would be people doing drop-offs and pickups for kids. It's a big open area full of kids, and nobody pays attention to nobody. They would kind of quietly say, 'Go over to that person,' and you would just slip your hand into theirs and say, 'I was looking for you, Daddy.' Then that person would move off with one or two or three of us.''

There is absolutely no legal reason for the taxpayers to assume this debt…make Disney pay it, or foreclose on Disney world if they won’t (not a chance!)…
Right, if Disney doesn’t pay the tax man can chain lock every entrance and gate until they do. They would chain lock my business in a heartbeat.
Any time you can kick Progs in the face, kick Progs in the face. GO RON!!!!!
Wow, that was awesome, Archie.
Probably wouldn’t have been able to handle it…
Depends on how you feel about AH and Nazis Abby. I like Arch in his new persona but he was a true force in his last, always a favorite.
Yes his advanced age is showing in his work for sure. The former Yoji was a real workhorse.
That’s it.
Yep, I imagine he was.
It was something to see. And surely the former incarnation was right about pizzafiles, too.
Uncog- He was spot on about that and a lot of other things.
There was life before the Archaeopterix???
(I know, Yo).
I can’t even remember the handle, but I have wondered if that was you.
Global corporations are now doing the dirty work for politicians in the culture war. I don’t have a problem with it.
There are certainly a lot of questions about this that need answering — most of what you say was posted days ago when this was still a ‘work in progress’ …
The taxpayers need to be protected … the children need to be free of these influences … and, as you say, it all goes back (as always) to (((the usual suspects))) …
Side note: Nail in the coffin to take the kids to Happy Potter World at Universal rather than Disney. Tens of thousands of parents think like I do. Sell your shares if you still have any.
Good work, but of course I knew that in the same way I don’t need to look at the “early life section”.
What’s that smell? Oh, it’s odious debt not odorous debt though both are fit terms for most, if not all, debt foisted onto the rabble.
It is a good start. Now go to work on all of the other corporate welfare giveaways.
Yes, once Disney involved itself in Florida politics. Had they involved themselves in a manner pleasing to the people in power this would not come up. Since they involved themselves in a most displeasing manner the people in power are behaving in an entirely appropriate manner.
Well, yeah. About freakin’ time. Corporatism is about a corrupt a system as ever devised and coupled with grooming children is as Satanic as imaginable.
Auntie has a revolutionary idea for a Florida vaycay: take the kids and family to the beach.
Government only exists as a means to provide protection, subsidy, etc to big business interests. To believe otherwise is to not understand how it all works. I have yet to read an honest full accounting of just what exactly this repeal means, but anything that forces a business to pay their own way, stand on their own, or otherwise face the same market or other economic forces as everyone else is a good thing. Not really sure if that is what happened here.
Disney is in very serious trouble. Their stock price has plummeted from a high of $203 just over a year ago to $115 today, a staggering 43% drop, a loss of $160 Billion in Market Cap (the value of the company). And there seems to be no end in sight. Probably worse than the drop in value is the damage to the brand.
It is difficult to see how the company can recover from this in any sort of near term time frame. They would have to fire all the top management, clear the decks of all wokesters, pedos and perverts throughout the organization (to prevent sabotage of their re-marketing campaign) and spend Millions of dollars on new marketing to try to rehabilitate themselves in the eyes of their customers.
Frankly, I don’t see it happening. DeSantis didn’t do it to them. They did it to themselves. DeSantis just called them out. As an investment, Disney is dead money. Maybe Elon can buy them.
YES He was correct.
