The governor, not Disney, is accountable to the people of the state of Florida.

Yes. The Sonny Bono act is the one frequently referred to as the Mickey Mouse act, since it was the one Disney moved on because Steamboat Willy (Mickey Mouse's first appearance) was about to fall into the public domain and so they wanted to freeze the public domain indefinitely. That's why they felt the need to buy up Congress members (not just Bono, but Orrin Hatch, the bill's primary sponsor in the Senate, along with Elton Gallegly and Howard Coble, House Sponsors, and other big-name Congress members like Alfonse D'Amato, Trent Lott, Chuck Hagel, Dianne Feinstein, and Fred Thompson). They helped bankroll the majority of the sponsors both in the House and Senate, and were rewarded handsomely by retaining billions of dollars worth of intellectual property that would otherwise have naturally moved into the public domain. In essence, those politicians seized the future rights to that property, which would have belonged to people generally, and they handed it to a giant corporation that had financed their campaigns.

That's not entirely about party politics. There were scumbags on both sides of the aisle. But the movers and shakers in the effort were mostly the big-name Republicans. Those who opposed the effort were Democrats and liberals in general.

Does your partisan douchbaggery ever lessen?

the senate passed it unanimously.

UNANIMOUSLY - that means no democrats in the senate opposed it.

and of Course, Bill Clinton signed it. he did not veto - showing his lack of support.

It was passed by unanimous consent, which is different from a unanimous vote. It means nobody spoke up to force an actual vote, which is what happens when you've already head-counted and know you don't have the votes to block it, and you don't see any value in forcing the actual vote count merely for symbolic purposes.

I don't know what Clinton's position on it, was, but if there was a supermajority in Congress for it, there'd have been no reason to veto other than for the symbolism, which would have dubious value when it just got overridden.

Anyway, there's plenty of blame to go around, for anyone who actually came down in favor of the law. But the reality remains most of the sponsors were Republicans. That, of course, is emotionally troubling for right-wingers who have more recently been told by their handlers that Disney is the enemy, but history doesn't care about their feelings.

the House did a voice vote - only one voice was against it - a republican

the Senate voted on it - and was passed unanimously.

they are accountable to stock holders. pissing off half the citizens of the state your corporation does business in is a shitty way to show your stock holders you have their interests at heart

You post the roll call. It's your argument. My argument is about who the sponsors and the leaders of the effort were. Your argument is that the senate voted and it was unanimous (note: not passage by unanimous consent, but by an actual unanimous vote). So, post the roll call.

you claimed democrats opposed it. post something to prove your bullshit

show us the democrats that proved they were against it.

if all you got is that the sponsor is a California Republican, you really don't have anything at all

I am not a stock holder. I am a voter in Florida and pissed off at DeSantis using the tools of the State against his political enemies.

A family of four from New Jersey reached out to FOX News Digital after taking a recent trip to Disney World, saying they had sticker shock over what they spent on their visit and noticed changes at the park from times past.

Gone is the Magical Express that previously served as a courtesy shuttle, so the family shelled out $200 for private transportation to get to and from the airport.

Park hopper tickets cost $2,550 for the five days they attended. Their four nights of lodging inside the resort cost $3,780 for the parents and two kids.

Once inside the park, they spent $300 on Genie plus passes for their entire trip to skip lines in order to avoid spending all their time waiting for rides. The parents said they paid $950 on sit-down meals and another $700 or so for snacks and souvenirs. All told, the cost of the visit rounded out to $8,480, and airfare pushed the price of their vacation upwards of $10,000.

"I feel like Disney is pricing people out, can the average working American family really afford this?" the mother said in remarks to FOX Business. "I've been coming to Disney since I was six years old. I'm 39 now. My kids thought Disney was magical and so for me the cost was worth it, but I see that it's not the same Disney it was."

Well, Fuck Disney. Walt is dead and the motherfuckers running it are pieces of shit.

Even before Walt died I was well over Disney..Another round of "It's a small world" and I might go postal.

The cork/cap guns were pretty cool, though. Idk what happened to mine.

That came from "Frontierland".

You don't play the market? So you got no skin in that game.

Why are you mad at the best governor FL has ever had?
