The Walt Disney Co. said it is pulling out of a roughly $1 billion investment in Florida, citing"changing business conditions." The media and entertainment giant announced the move amid a year-long feud with the state's Republican governor, Ron DeSantis, after Disney publicly opposed his bill to limit instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in public schools.
