Disney is "free to make an issue" of something whenever it wants. It does lack the ability to impose on Florida residents by force of law. Only the Republicans are doing that. If you didn't have a non word like "woke", used three times, to make your thoughts "clear" the mumbling might at least be musical.
bill stripping Disney of self governing status goes to Governor for signing

They’re virtue signaling when they use woke
I would dearly love to see DeSantis take down Disney. LOL

Yep. There are plenty of states that would be more than happy to welcome Disney with those types of numbers. Unfortunately, most southern states are just as racist/homophobic as DeathSentence and Florida.I'm really looking forward to seeing DeSantis collapse Disney World.

When Roy Disney broke ground for his late brother Walt’s Disney World in 1967, it marked the transformation of a sleepy, farming state of six million people into an economic powerhouse today where 21 million live and work in the 15th largest economy in the world, bigger than that of the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia or Taiwan.
“As much as any single company, they definitely helped shape and mold the state,” said Aubrey Jewett, a political science professor at the University of Central Florida. “The economic, political and social environment that is Florida today owes a lot to the fateful decision of Walt Disney to come to Central Florida.” ...
... A 2019 study found Disney dominates the Central Florida tourism industry, according to Oxford Economics, and produced:
$75.2 billion annual economic impact for Central Florida.
463,000 jobs.
$5.8 billion in additional state tax revenue.
The sales tax collected just on the 58 million Disney World tickets sold in 2018 was $409 million. That’s more than what the state will spend this year on school construction and maintenance or the entire Department of Elder Affairs budget.

Disney has been making statements for years by donating millions to politicians.
That has now ended until this shakes out.

It's only going to cost Floridians about $1000 each. Well worth it if he gets to use the term 'woke' on message boards.If DeSantis wins, you'll get the taxes.
You can always hope you don't have long too live so you don't have to pay those taxes, Dookie.....or just tell your neighbors you hate America, love Putin and support terrorism.
The state penalizing a corporation for speech. I thought cons were against this sort of thing? Isn't this communism or fascism or some ism? Also do my eyes deceive me or is anatta whining about having to pay higher taxes? I hope they squeeze that mf'er until he squeaks so loud his neighbors call the police. Disney's stock may take a temp hit, but trust who will still be standing when the war ends. Now, babble on tough boys.
first off there may not be higher taxes -it could just be a wash where taxpayers pick up the infrastructure
but The Mouse looses it's tax breaks.
My concern is if it's a wash - then the Mouse might be able to use corporate clout for carve outs.
I also have a Homestead exception on property taxes so I doubt it effects me
The good thing is Woke corps are getting push back just like the Progs are getting push back
on their insane CRT/1619.
Virginia is the example, and by all looks November is going to be a slaughter of Dems .
dont wake up the suburban women by fucked up textbooks - but they did and now they are a powerful force
Save some of those tears for yourself. Biden is a fuck up -he's not going to help the Dems either
You guys did the Woke shit. we just throw it back in your face.
The good thing is we got the populace on our side - you got AOC and the Squad
It's not "mumblings if you cant refute it and you cant that Diz jumped into this only after their CA walkout motivated the CEO to grovel to their Production dept.
Have you seen the Disney tapes? taking about "maximum queering" etc?
Karey Burke, president of Disney’s General Entertainment Content, announced on a company-wide Zoom call Monday that as “the mother of two queer children”—one transgender and one pansexual, she elaborated—she intends to drastically ramp up queer visibility within the Magic Kingdom, increasing characters in Disney productions that are LGBTQIA or other underrepresented minorities by a whopping 50 percent by the end of 2022, according to the New York Post via meeting footage obtained by journalist Christopher F. Rufo and posted to Twitter.

Sure the Mouse can say what they want, but if they decide to get political dont be shocked when political moves are thrown back in their face
This will take a year or two but I'm looking forward to how the Florida voters will react when they get the bill. LOL

I'm betting that Disney plays hardball during the 1 year 'negotiations', and DeathSentence caves.
If he's still governor, that is.

Althea told me...
Conservatives (and the Supreme Court) only consider lobbying cash as 'speech'...not acutal...speech.
Go figure.
Money talks, bullshit walks even in a state with Trump, Gaetz and DeSantis in it.

Your defense of DeSantis has been fully refuted. If you mean “woke” it’s not possible to refute a non-claim. If you state your argument in English (or French) I’ll consider it. You should realize yourself that if you need to resort to a group of letters that didn’t exist even as an imagined word five years ago something is missing in your thought process.
LMAO
you are so hung up on woke .. it's common parlance - speech is more then just what is "official" words
You havent refuted a damn thing - even the point that Disney -not DeSantis came looking for this confrontation when they threatened to take this law to court by listening to the false characterizations
of "dont say gay" as the law from their California woke workers who staged the walk out.
I suggest you do some research,and look past the headlines and get the chronology of events down at minimum.
Because you aint refuting nothing except being triggered by "woke"
Nope.
Says the member who uses it as an all purpose crutch word, then hides when challenged to state his/her argument in ordinary English.
