That is as far from the truth about my home state as you can get.

And honestly, when you extremist progressive types find it necessary to talk that kind of trash about an entire state just because you dislike its Governor, you put down everyone else in it, including the nearly 50% of them who hold the same views as you do, and you put yourselves on the same level as the nasty right-wingers and Trumpers who talk exactly the same way about NY and California.

Why not try to be better than that? :thup:



Nope.

Publix has them beat.

Disney had 220,000 in 2022

Florida has some beautiful scenery. The company I worked for had a satellite office in Tampa. The plane landed over the bay at night. The lights, the bridge was really pretty. I remember Juniper Springs on the Ocala NF, such a gorgeous place.

Don't be caught standing outside in one of their famous rainstorms in Central FL! It's like a million buckets of water on your head at once!

They already got their "fighting back against wokeness" headlines, they don't actually care what happens.

It’s actually worse than that, they got their anti-woke headline, and still provide benefits to Disney, so they continue with the donations.
 
I think people vastly overestimate disneys position. They really arent doing well. If I were to guestimate I would say that Wakanda Forever might actually lose 50-100 million and thats supposedly their big money maker. They have a new star wars ride/cruise thats pretty much empty for example.

Theres a reason why Iger is back and Chapek got fired.

Publix does have 230,000 employees but not in Florida. That represents their total employment in all states. Disney has about 77,000 employees, the largest single site employer in the world. Again your numbers were pure BS, very lazy work.

Either prove it or shut your gas-blowing asshole.

I've searched the topic using several variations of search terms and they almost all come back with Publix at the top with between 220,000 and 240,000 employees IN FLORIDA.

Disney employs between 65,000 and 70,000.

But let's say you're correct and the above numbers (220,000 to 240,000) represent Publix's total number of employees across multiple states, we can easily find a very closely approximate number per state simply by taking the number of stores per state....

...then determining what percentage of their total store locations are in Florida.

Adding the number of stores per state shown above, comes to a total of 1306 stores.

The number of stores in Florida = 838 which is 64% of 1306.

Based on the three different figures regarding their total number of employees, and taking 64% of each figure....

64% of 220,000 =140,000
64% of 230,000 = 147,200
64% of 240,000 = 153,600

So then based on the reasonable assumption that the percentage of Publix locations per state = the percentage of their total employees per state, Publix employs between 140,000 and 153,600 people in Florida, or at least twice as many as Disney.

Now feel free to go suck it.

The point of this exercise, other than to prove how lousy your handlers are at research, is to show that Disney with their millions of visitors yearly is the most important company in that state. There are over 11 million people who visit this theme park yearly. When you consider what they spend for park fees, hotels, meals, transportation and gifts the tax revenues to Florida are truly massive, in addition to the thousands of other businesses that profit from these visitors.

Well then why didn't Jarod say that, if that is what he meant?

I would have agreed with him.

Being that I've lived in Orlando for four decades and back in the 80's was employed in the tourism industry for businesses that directly benefitted from the presence of Disney, I can pretty safely say that I know all of that better than you do.

I think what's really going on here is that, because I took issue with the one specific aspect of Jarod's post regarding Disney being the largest employer in Florida, which they are not as I have proven, you got your panties in a wad, possibly because you mistakenly assumed I was defending DeSadass, so you took it upon yourself to pick a fight over it and turn some niggling little disagreement over an employment statistic into an insult hurling, panty pissing contest.

What's more is, in all your refutations of my claims, you have not posted one sourced piece of data to back up anything you've said.

Face it.... you lost.

Get over it.

It was obvious. Disney is Florida's largest employer and has serious negotiating power. The Gov. just need a way to save face, and time provided that.

It was going to cost the tax payers of Orange County huge money.

DeSatan sounds more and more like a Trump II -- petty and kneejerk and bullying, rather than thoughtful and mature.
