This month, the governor called on lawmakers to return to the Capitol for another special session to finalize state control of the district, as well as approve legislation around some of his other key legislative priorities on immigration and voter fraud.
The feud also reinforced the governor’s brash, go-it-alone leadership style, penalizing a massive employer, tourism driver and political donor in the state over the company’s stance on a piece of legislative policy.
The new law changes the district’s name from the Reedy Creek Improvement District to the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District and subjects it to various layers of state oversight. Board members were previously named through entities controlled by Disney.It leaves the district and its financial abilities and debt obligations intact, addressing a chief concern of surrounding governments.
More northerly states with land above sea level have space for rent
They wanted to get involved in politics, hope it was worth it.🤷
It’s the 'Parental Rights in Education' bill. You’re a professional news organization, get it right.
Send in the clown.
prisonculture
Lol so an authoritarian
Can someone show me in the law where it says don't say gay? Or is this just to get the sheep upset
Give over reach! Authoritarian.
I thought it was the Republicans that were full of hate. Guess I was wrong. Oh my……
Disney wasn’t on his radar until it was. “The ego is your self-image, it is your social mask, it is the role you are playing. Your social mask thrives on approval. It wants control, and it is sustained by power because it lives in fear.” – Ram Dass
Why are you all calling it the name opponents call it? Do you call trans bills the anti-grooming bill?
Russia is trying the same thing in Ukraine. It’s likely to result in the same outcome.
Betting on the mouse here 🤣
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
That’s a crime!
he's cooked
My way or the Highway, right Adolf DeSantis
WHERE'S MY MONEY?
Great example of small government
We are Floridians. We voted for DeSantis But we Will Not Vote for Desantis over Trump. Only Trump can Stand Strong against Disastrous Liberal Demoncrats and help America against the Abuse of Liberal Democrats and Foreign Opportunists !!
This is disturbing for several reasons. That guy is poison.
You lie Associated DNC Press. They returned this district to be like every other district in Florida.
the party of small government
Fascism at its finest. JFC. And, if I understand it correctly, Floridians will be paying for it, literally!
Of course DeSantis should control that. After all, Florida is his country!
Big-Government Overlord Ronald McDonald DeSantis says all of us are free to do anything he likes and nothing else.
Like a true authoritarian
Can we say the word fascist?
Just get worst. He is the new Hitler in the making
schnerder If this isn’t a first amendment violation, I don’t know what it is.
The arrogance of DeSantis is only matched by his obvious need to be in front of a TV camera.
And takes over their 1 billion dollar debt. Smart move..🤣🤣🤣🤣🙄
LOSER
Placing his donors on the board! Pay2Play
The new mascot for Anti-Wokeness:
To what end, revenge and bullying. Makes Ron Mussolini look like a anti business dictator. FascistFlorida
Well i mean that is freedom right there.
Essentially what happens is Disney retains the ability to do 99% of what they want. Its land acquirement, Dumbsantis gave away leverage with the repeal of the tax. He also has no say in content or even policy as the park operates. I reality his 'control' is like English monarchy
Disney f'd around and found out. Pedophiles grooming children is not acceptable.
He is a dictator and will do the same with the US if elected as POTUS. He must be held to Florida.
I think Disney should find a way to leave Florida.
Say goodbye to Florida's tourism industry lmao.
Punishing? Now FL will have to take care of roads, emergency services, water, utilities maintenance and the transfer of $1.2 billions in debt that belongs to the district. Swell.
Daily reminder to never trust a headline
Small government my ass
Gotta love this freedom, democracy!
All your base are belong to us.
Good. Unscrupulous mouthpiece Mickey Mouse could use some discipline.
vikramrandhawaa
Small government party, unless they need to be vindictive or get their wittle baby feelings hurt by a private company
Said it before, I’ll say it again. Unless they dissolve the district.. which fiscally makes no sense… it’s unconstitutional to install own board bc there were elected reps governing Reedy Creek. That’ll be a court case Desantis will lose. Taking voting rights away.
I remember years ago Disney Corporation was criticized for discrimination against gays. now this line they tout.what the kids get in school highly influences them DeSantis is right.
Supreme Court. Is not that hard!
DeSantis is playing on the fact that Disney has so much invested in infrastructure that they won’t tell him to take a walk and relocate. That would be a disaster for florida
I bet all these extra expenses and less revenue will be great for the Florida economy! And all because you got butt-hurt that someone called you out on your homo- and transphobia.
He just returned the governing to the State of Florida, where it belongs like everyone else doing business there.
This is a very dangerous man with too much power. RonDeFascist
Disney has bigger trouble than “don’t say gay.” You can’t watch Disney channels without getting a “woke” lecture, perversity exhibited as normal, lies about America, flack toward people with opinions differing from the Left, censored speech, facts, and ideas. Lots bigger problems
Fighting to put big corporations under control for political gains like a socialist dictator is a threat to the roots of capitalism in America. He doing his own Putin loving imitations first introduced by the former guy in Helsinki and embraced by the Republican base. Sad.
Good luck with your higher taxes floridians
Disney tax status remains untouched, so they are still good
What’s next 🥲
It would be great if Disney could just pack up and leave Florida. How many tourists would Florida lose?
It has begun!😲
So much for smaller government.
“Small government”
Lock his sorry ass up and possibly crimes. I have heard he has violated his oath of office more than once. He is done anyway.
I hope Disney leaves that trash bin…
Smells like extortion
This is all hyped up hysteria. There is nothing inherently wrong about his policies. Yes, his attitude is ancient but if you read the bills passed in Florida, he’s cautiously safeguarding children instead of blindly following the theoretical fiction of Trans Rights Activists.
look everyone, it's a Wannabe, Dick-Tator.
Retaliation, straight from communist page.
Everytime Death Santis is trending and it's not an obituary 😭
Can’t wait to see what Disney will do to get their revenge on this whack jobs.
Is a Disney character called Meatball Ron in the pipeline?
More crap headlines - there was s nothing in the original bill that says don’t say gay! Complete BS
Are people anti-Disney? Why?
This revenge legislation will cost the state at least $2 billion and raise taxes on everyone in Orlando. Disney will benefit because they no longer have to maintain the roads or the 25k acres of land. The state does.
Another hitler !
Abuse of power and likely illegal
He isn’t punishing Disney, it will save them a boat load of money. He will be punishing the good folks of Osceola and Orange counties by bestowing upon them an additional $105M in increased taxes plus a $1.5Billion bond that must be paid. All because his fragile man ego got hurt.
DeSantis imposes unconstitutional restrictions on speech and acquires $1 billion in debt. Yeah, big win for Florida.
DS better watch the f out
BestGovEver
The fascist state of Florida puts another nail in the free market and democracy.
The irony here is amazing. A republican is making a billion dollar company pay more in taxes, but Dems are losing their minds over it.
Disney will sue and win.
Disney needs to leave and see what happens to Florida.
It doesn't 'give him control', it just changes the status of the area and creates a five member committee to evaluate Disney's actions...the members of which Disney got to select themselves.
I'm reminding you that it is election year
Focus on yourself and how you win the election
Finally Disney will have to pay their Fair Share.
Smart move to help save our nation.
DeSantis has too much power
Imagine being so authoritarian and in your own beliefs you try to take on the entertainment titan that is Disney. Something tells me political ads on all disney networking and streaming will be unfavorable for Desantis.
this guy is a real joke...........wants to be another goofball
Doesn't this mean moving forward all governors of FL will have this ability?
Is this DeSantis' plan for Disney World?
How is this punishing Disney? It's punishing the taxpayers in those counties. Now, FL is paying for the infrastructure and services Disney was providing.
Ron DeSantis, Authoritarian-Florida
This man is determined to tank the economy of the state of FL. It’s hard to feel sorry for a state that voted for him twice.
Every time you tweet Don't say Gay law you're engaging in propaganda.
Ron DeSantis lawyers' definition of woke: 'the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them.”
If WaltDisneyWorld shut down for just one day in protest, there’d be riots in the streets and DeSantis would be in really deep shit with constituents
I like this guy
Our future hitler
Disney vs DeSantis is villain vs villain and I'm enjoying it.
Call it what it is. You're the AP not the democratic party.
Party of 'free speech' and 'small government' and 'pro business' strikes again. DeSantis is just a wanna-be little Kim Jong Un.
DeSausage
Nice editorial.
No state can take over a private company
He’s not taking over Disney ,Disney is a private company .it’s the area around Disney he’s after
I love watching liberal news outlets clutch their pearls over a giant mega corp losing its special treatment. 😂
Sewer-dwelling gutter scum setting himself up with yet another thing that is going to bite him in the ass
dianaaitchison One does not oppose The Party without consequences.
Disney move out of Florida.
Ron DeSantis is a threat to American democracy. He is a fascist. If you dont believe me look up it’s definition.
Power trip much?
That'll show 'em. (Sarcasm)
I thought corporations were people. Where are Disney ‘s “people”? Why aren’t corp-people in the streets on their behalf? 💯✊🏾
Disney must leave Florida.
He is against major business in his own state!
Vote for this guy, America! He will be a great tin pot dictator and make your life hell but you will love it because who doesn't love someone bossing them around?! If you had toxic bossy parents — this guy is for you!
Cc DamonLinker
Liberals be like 'greedy corporations need to pay their fair share', liberals also crying over the fact that WDW lost their special tax EXEMPTION 🤣🤣🤣🤣 you literally can't make this stuff up…
Oh so cool...
what other area of America,can have their own government the whole idea of this elitist area controlling (governing)a piece of America is communistic,why has it been aloud to go on for so long?
This is fascism
So brave.
Alek_Ko when people with small horizons get too much power...
DeSantisCountry IS Fascist Country. GovRonDeSantis
Thats how dictatorship works too.
The free market capitalist is at it again. Let freedom ring!! Unless you criticize a policy!
How many billions would the Florida economy lose if Disney World just left for another state? Poke the the Bull, you get the horns. I'm sure there are plenty of states that would gift hundreds of acres of land with a tax free expemt status to WDW.
Disney will sue and win
Disney will still be here long after de-santis is long gone and forgotten!
Ok but why did a corporation have a self governing district? That feels like something that shouldn't have happened in the first place
Stop the dictator
He’s going to take a hard fall.
Nikki Haley for president. Don’t vote for this poor man’s Mussolini.
A repost with edits to avoid defamation. Great work AP.
Finally! Never understood how they got that deal anyway
Scary.
Walt Disney would not approve how the company has been operated, if he were still alive today it would be a much more family experience without the influence of some agenda from outside.
Excellent!
So much for free speech.
Good for him!
Beta
So what you’re saying is… he has a small manhood and is willing to share that to the public because a company /large group of people in entertainment have different views than he does & views he is afraid of. Sounds like someone’s bully is still in the closet.
He thinks he's on this earth to turn to stone!
Governor DeathSentence proves that he is vindictive, like a typical fascist despot, and Trumpublicans love him for it. The world has gone crazy.
Disney doesn’t pay property taxes, does it?
A more accurate headline “ Gov DeSantis signed a bill taking away the special privileges of a multibillion dollar company that doesn’t pay its fair share in taxes “ instead of the misleading headline you used about the parental rights bill ! Marxist propaganda bs
I hope the shut the place down. Let Destantis run it and pay the debt.
As long as he’s not a lifetime Governor
What happened to the $1 billion in debt? The legislation specifically excludes Reedy county and it’s resident from this debt.
The fascist is angry that people and corporations think persecuting gay people is wrong
Wow. He’s def … a piece of work
Racist governor who cancel black history .. ghtfo Florida
RonDeSantisFL GAYGAYGAYGAYGAYGAYGAYGAYGAYGAYGAYGAYGAYGAYGAYGAYGAYGAYGAYGAYGAYGAYGAYGAYGAYGAYGAY. Disney don't worry, we can still say gay 😌
A power monger!
'Hi ho hi ho, it's all DeSantis' show...'
They should leave
Florida is a fash state. Next: Public book-burnings.
The best state governor in the US this century! He believed in something and stood his ground in defense of his belief! I raise my right hand and hail salute to this man! Hail RonDeSantis
Spin Doctor level 2
1) He still stewing over that? Petty. 2) Go ahead, piss off your cash cow. 3) Goes down in history as The Man Who Ruined Disney World.
I hope Disney CRUSHES him
This guy is evil
Punishing? No. Stopping government funds and special privileges for a company abusing children with adult sexual content
Fascist pig.
Ron DeSantis named Moms for Liberty(lobotomies) founder Bridget Ziegler, who is the wife of the chair of the Florida Republican Party, to sit on the newly formed governing board.
You love to see it
DeSantis gains control of Disney District and screws 100,000 floridians with significantly higher taxes, and he doesn't care! His authentic regime calls this a win!
Now there's no one left to tell him that he's too short to ride Space Mountain
Yes, all states should punish successful companies! It's a great way to stimulate business & the economy! (Said no economist, ever!)
Betting Disney might open Disney Atlanta ina few years, esp. if DeFascist is still in office..
Just another fantasy world he lives in.
I hope Disney moves out of FL and shuts down in that state.
Good..not a big fan of Desantis, but I support him on this... Actually, idk.. Does that mean the taxpayer foots the bill of the district? Or did they always foot the bill, even when Disney was in charge?
With Disney employing 75,000 people and bringing in countless millions of tourist dollars. Maybe they should consider moving one state up. It’s becoming clear that Florida government is making a state where Stalin would be proud to live, even Hitler would be proud.
A hole
When was it ever appropriate for private company to exercise the power of a local government? Were other theme parks in Florida afforded the same privilege?
O thought these people were CAPITALIST 🤦🏽♀️
Not him, Florida! Quit trying to destroy him!
I know that Disney has been in that area for a moment. I won't be surprised if Disney pack up and move the headquarters somewhere else. Once that happens, oh shit!!! 🤔
DeSantis is in the closet.
can see his goons beating up goofy now
Well, Walt Disney is a private company; they can leave Florida for a more favorable location. But, I know, such a decision is tough. Not easy to top a Florida location for a theme park. But if you want to be free to follow your own social policy, FL, is no bastion for it now.
This is so gay!
Fascism coming in hot from Ron DeSanctiomonious over here. Anyway, here’s hoping those property taxes skyrocket to give FL a reason to oust him before it’s too late
Look at all the leftist garbage defending one of the largest corporations on the planet.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hoping it blows up in DeSantis face and becomes bad publicity for him.
Nice false headline.
If only Mr. DeSantis' actions helped to preserve civil rights.
The Disney Putsch disneyputsch
“Small government” in action.
That’s so GAY! Ron is GAY! GAY GAY GAY!!! RonDeSantisFL bachelor
Ok, starting to read the bill… I would like to shake the persons hand that put the first 2069 lines of the bill together, argh, and who checked out for errors If you don’t know what I am talking about, pull up the bill
Kinda weird. Conservative courts decide corporations are people with the rights of a person in America. Corp/person Disney uses its First Amendment right to Freedom of Speech and DeSantis & Co immediately respond with taking away the corp/persons business opportunities.
Just your typical “small government” republican. Imagine if a democrat did this. Fox would go bonkers. The authoritarian vein running though today’s Republican Party is why they keep losing elections. They scream about freedom then work tirelessly to take it from people.
What a piece of 💩
Given that the entire state has a sea level problem, it seems like a good idea for Dusmey to be scouting new locations anyway.
Apparently we’re in the legislative phase of fascism 😔
Excellent
Close it down
“the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” law”….. the only people calling it that is the media and activists which it is becoming increasingly obvious that they might be the same. Can the media stop saying untruths or give misleading narratives?
Better have some money because guess what Disney Bank Account Not Yours We gonna See who will be laughing later. God don't like no UGLY!...
Disney Disneyland should unbolt and pack up their equipment and rebuild in another state. I’m sure New Mexico, Utah, or Arizona, would be delighted to have Disney World in their backyard.
Using this move as a precedent, I’d be taxing churches for trying to influence law. Now there’s a money maker.
So much for businesses having “freedom” in Florida!!! 🙄
Government take over of business? Define Socialism to me.
The small government party strikes again
Ahh yes the beloved GOP taking away freedom of speech, religion and erasing history.
Love it
Florida man lmao never surprised
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
WaltDisneyWorld should pull up and go to a state that's not Florida.
First warning shot to Woke Inc. !!
Government by a vindictive, small mined, insecure “man”
This astounds me. I truly didn’t think he would go through with it. Smh
Fuck around and find out. The safety of their children are worth more than any Disney dollars.
Oh the lies from the media
DeSantis for President 😍
If the AP reports it, then it must be 100% accurate….😉
Is this a campaign ad?
All this just to be bounced by trump in 2024 and end up a talking head on Fox News. Nothing matters more to those Maricopa swing voters than extorting Disney cuz it thinks gay people are a-okay.
tax the billionaires, right
I think that Florida and DeSantis deserve each other and not in a good way. The priorities of the people behind both are hugely selfish and limited.
One pissed off mouse.
how about only facts and no opinion?
His nike name Isn't meatball Ron. So don't call him Meatball Ron.
What a crock. Can nothing be written without a narrative anymore? No 'reporters' anymore, just activists. Always the gaslighting and word of the day catch phrases showing bias instead of reporting. Pathetic. And media wonders why we don't trust a word they write or say.
Conqueror of Disney world
The 8th dwarf
Sounds like GQP is fine with “cAnCeL cUlTuRe” when they’re not the ones on the receiving end
This dictator has to go
RonDeSantisFL looks so gay about it 🙂
one of the biggest FAFOs ever
This. Is. Fascism.
Free speech indeed.
The party of small government is back at it again!
Capitalist politicians about to seethe and shit their pants when they find out the companies are more powerful than they are
Hahaha highest real estate tax state and now will be even more
Good. Glad he did it. And “Don’t Say Gay” was and is a lie … one that you’re intentionally continuing to perpetuate.
It does not give 'Him' control..
I believe in freedom ... unless I don't like YOUR freedom 🤦♂️
Well I guess that will take care of inflation.
Citizens United deemed corporations as people, so how is this not a violation of the First Amendment !?! Oh wait … It IS
The fascist gonna fascist
Uhhh Florida, why are you letting some guy take away your power & independence?
Representing fascism in waiting.
Disney is a lot more popular than Ron DeSantis, I think hes pissing off the wrong people.
Here’s hoping Mickey and Pluto and Donald tell DeSantis to go f*** himself and take their billions of tourism dollars and thousands of jobs elsewhere. I’m sure any blue state would love to have them. GOPClown
don't say gay mfs when I say gay
Nothing fascist about this!
Ron is a fascist
Doing wrong has consequences. When they come may RonDeSantisFL suffer pure HELL for what he's doing & has done. They are going catch up with him sooner or later, only time will tell.
What a prick.
DeSantis finally gonna get Goofy’s ass in check!
A violation of Disney's First Amendment rights.
Ron Desantis will likely be the first President to be assassinated by a guy in a Goofy costume...which is odd considering there are a lot of people wearing Goofy costumes which includes a red hat.
DeSantis thinks he has the last laugh. Well Disney as a media giant isn’t done by any means.
Wow that picture. Are you promoting this?
Republicans hate free speech.
Do people really don’t understand what the government just did to this corporation Only a communist country does what Florida just did. Floridians should be alarmed.
It's was the corporate media that lied and called it the 'Don't Say Gay' law. What it really was a law that stopped conversation about sex for 3rd graders and under. But you don't have any credibility anymore so there is that.
Thought that shit only happens in 3rd world countries
I just think it would be fantastic if Disney said you know what? Peace out Florida ✌🏻Guests come to Disneyland Lay off thousands of jobs, economic implosion, operations at Orlando airport slash flights, tourism takes a plunge. A girl can dream
Orlando was NOTHING but an orange grove before Disney pumped money into the area, providing jobs, businesses, infrastructure & much more. DeSantis has destroyed Florida and if he becomes Prez,he will wipe the dirt off his hands & never look back. All who voted for him are fools!
Fascist move. Leave Disney alone!!!!
MAGA World just got its own theme park. Excited for the new rides. 😸
Headline: Desantis pounds chest in decisive victory over dancing teapot. masculinity
If it wasn’t for Disney Florida would all be swamp land and unemployed…and hillbillies
Big government taking over
Disney contributes $5.8 billion to Florida's State Tax Revenue. Keep pissing them off.
he truly is a worthless inhuman..wait till the people in that area have to pay one billion$ back that dizney would have paid..nazi,,,,
what do those GOP always say, 'less government' an entire govt takeover of a private corporation zone is the antithesis
Dont fuck with him
So a dictator?
What a great narrative for Republicans.... 👀😳😂
I. Don’t. Care. Republicans and corporations can eat each other out all they like. I hate both.
Disney should “shut down” for a couple months- see what happens quickly
ndylan1 Who tf does this short shit think he is anyway.
For those that don't know, ie Trumpers.. Disney is a complete city w/ roads, sidewalks, bridges, firefighters, police, sanitation dept, water & sewage lines.. everything. Now Disney has to lobby County Gov to use tax revenue to maintain their property. Infrastructure will fail
Correction: Desantis (DeSCAMis) just gave his buddies at Disney a 50% tax break and past it on the the Florida Citizens.
play book from Chinese gov eh?
Now Disney will go to hell like the rest of the state
Keep on lying media !!! It was a LAW to stop K-3 CHILDREN being taught about sexual orientation! Big difference.
Sounds like this was long overdue. This article states that one of the reasons Disney was granted self-governance was they promised to 'build a futuristic city w/a transit system and urban planning innovations'. Instead they opened another theme park. Greedy liars.
So you're telling me that all it took for a private company to lose control over an enitre district in an US state was supporting gay rights? The fucking red line for the State of Florida was supporting gay rights. Good shit.
Ron Desantis will never be president with all the shit he's pulled.
Don’t say gay law 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can’t believe this fascist little despot is the media darling for Republican presidential nominee. Republicans and their “small government” cries while creating a fascist dictatorship are so ridiculous it strains believability.
Disney pushed extremist views and became a political action corporation. Disney can blame itself. No one else gets what they had.
Excellent. Disney should have never have had their own woke self governing district.
Maybe Disney should stop its grooming assault of young kids.
feistsheindlin1
Meatball Ron making headlines
Wonder what future caped at Disney world will be and how that will impact tourism and jobs in that part of Florida?
What liars. Everyone who has a brain knows there’s no such bill named like that.
Disney should revoke the discount for FL residents
DeSantis weaponized government to go after his political foes.
I wish the news would quit giving this crook so much attention,
Boo to You, Desantis.
Disney should pull out everything they can from Florida. Definitely never build anything new there ever again.
How about your ass worry about the senseless school shootings and block gun control
Still trying to figure out if he is so bad, why did his state overwhelmingly vote him back in and why are so many moving to Florida, not away.
Punishing companies who don't submit and bend the knee. Totally not something fascists do...
Move Disney, ruin Florida's economy.
Dictator!!!!!
Florida is beautiful and Deathsantis and his gop cronies are destroying this states image.
what is florida's budget surplus vs california, just asking for the truth,no spin
There aren't many in government willing to take on the megacorps, and even fewer who win.
Disney should pull out of Florida. That will help put an end to De Santis.
Another win for Florida, great job Mr Governor
tax the church and then we can talk about morals
Lmao, people better pay attention to Ron, he's on a mission and succeeding.
Can't wait for his obituary.
Dick
I get the drive to punish a company for meddling with people's kids, but this will cost Florida a lot of money.
We will get our state back.
Disney should pack up and leave Florida.
Bully’s gonna bully.
Punishing private companies for political reasons is some banana republic type shit. Florida is officially a banana republic.
He’s punishing Florida
When the media comes up with slogans like “Don’t Say Gay”, widely misrepresenting a bill they know almost none of their followers will ever read, that’s called “propaganda”. It was a highly popular tactic with the Nazis and every single other dictator or authoritarian regime.
Wow… an unbiased report from a totally credible news organization.
F u RonDeSantisFL
This man will wreck America if elected president
pArTy Of SmAlL GoVeRnMeNt
It has nothing to do with don't say gay. It has to do with protecting children.
Disney can crush him. And if he fucks around to hard - he will find out. Disney money knows no end.
So small government and local control only when it follows a certain “moral” code. Awesome. ☹️
Communism comes to Florida. El De uses the power of the state to punish a private, beloved American company. Never thought I would see the day. Non-MAGA GOP collectively groans as they realize Biden will easily win again in ‘24 with wretched, radical MAGA hijacking the party.
Super small government play here. Much freedom. Not tyranny.
inb4 the First Amendment lawsuit.
Disney can be as gay at they want to be, they just can’t groom minors.
this country will completely rip in half if this guy gets into power.
cool graphic
Is it me, or is he too focused on only things involving kids. Bizarre.
So much for 'small government' republicans. Every tax payer now knows what makes Ron DeSantis tick. If he can pull the tax rug out from under Disney, he will do it to the average American tax payer. You've all been warned...
Facist
😂 the same people bitching about corporations not paying taxes are the ones bitching because a big corporation like Disney has to pay taxes now. What’s even funnier is people actually believe Disney will pay those taxes without raising prices to subsidize the increase.
DeSantis is a POS!!!!!!
Ron still upset that Disney withheld their 100k donation
Is anything in this headline accurate?
When a corporation decides to enter politics, there's a price to pay. They should've never had a self governing district in the first place
If he becomes president will he also go after every company across America that refuse to follow his racist and homophobic ways?....Wake Up American Companies and stop supporting republicans for tax breaks because it comes with strings attached...
Hey DisneyWorld, Puerto Rico is calling...
You watch Disney will say to hell with Florida
Punishing the company? Disney just moved their $1 billion debt over to Florida. Nice going Einstein.
Now the state can pay the highway patrol OT on new year’s Eve for doing traffic control in that area instead of Walt Disney World.
So he has now introduced communism to Florida? It's okay though because Disney's going to have to leave Florida before 2053 thanks to climate change so it doesn't really matter. This will just make them do it a couple decades earlier. Imagine Florida w/out Disney. Poverty x10000
DeSantis IS the modern day Hit-ler. Facist. Racist. Bigot. Homophobe. Transphobe.
Bunch of liberal replies criticizing this move. Is it political revenge? Sure. Will it cost Florida $2B, nope. Will this make Disney more accountable to the public? Yes. Reedy Creek Improvement District is bad. Leftists once again shill for one of
There never was a law that said 'don't say gay'. AP continues to promote the lie. Useless activists, not a news organization.
bUt MuH fReE eNtErPrIsE
He’s become a dictator.
Not many politicians are foolish enough to make an enemy of Disney. Wouldn't such a hugely popular company be a great asset to their state?
Soooo what if Disney shuts down...then what?
So no more Disney Pride Day or anything Why doesn’t Disney just close it down and see how much revenue will be lost
Ah just another instance of cancel culture. political differences being used to attack a private business, how unamerican. This is the party of small govt right? And the party of freedom of speech right? Yeahhhh starting to think maybe all that’s just a bunch of shit lmao
Good deal, go woke, go broke!
haha i love small government
Disney should just relocate, DeSantis just wants to profit from it. You can flip that unstable red state when suddenly one of its major state employers is gone.
As AP continues to repeat the mischaracterization of the law. Bravo. Liars.
If Disney word moved to like Pennsylvania that’d be kinda gang
This guy is a fascist weevil.
He disgusts me.
Dictator DeSantis!
Welcome to the start of fascist America bc people are to coward to stand up to this fool and his minority. This is how the Nazis gained control. It has to stop
Hell leave the tax bill for the next person
Fascist fuck
sMalL gOvErNmEnT!
Disney did human trafficking and that will be known. They had their own police to avoid investigations from real police. People disappeared, the target was single mothers with children always. This is known by the police, not yet by the public. AP knows this too.
He is a bigoted homophobic white supremacy bigot Disney should move the park to another state .
What if Disney just left florida
Power hungry fascist takes control of a private business’s property - FTFY!
he’s prob also trying to send a message to max frost—that he controls orlando and no one else. my opinion: what an insecure big baby bitch. i hope trump keeps coming after him. that is the only thing t is good for right now.
Ah yes, the freedom governor.
AP: another propagandists. Only leftist called the bill 'dont say gay' Its so called, because 'news' outlets dont report news.
cltomlinson What is stopping DisneyStudios from making a kids movie warning against fascist wannabe dictators like DeSantis? We ready. 😏
Alternatively, Ron DeNazi gives Disney huge debt relief and passes it to constituents because he is trying to be a dictator and isn't smart enough. Keep up the small government conservative bullshit. How many pies has fat Ronny put his fingers in? CORRUPTION!!
Disney needs to do the thing. Don’t be a punk Mickey.
Whats crazy here is…people come from around the globe to visit Florida and Disney….they stay for weeks sometimes….you would think he would be more accepting of others and other cultures…
I hope all those who like this fool are ready to absorb and pay the RC debt, because it is all your now Florida have fun.
Fascism in America.
Less government. Got it.
Este gobernador está como los comunistas lo q no lo controla lo destruye
Ron Desantis is Trump 2.0. Trump but better spoken, younger, and more a threat to freedom.
Wait, according to GOP doctrine, corporations are people. So this action, which is punitive due to the don't say gay issue, would violate Disney's 1st Amendment freedom of speech rights.
MAKE DISNEY GREAT AGAIN.
rondesantis Aren‘t you the one who screamed LESS GOVERNMENT?
This is entertaining. How long before Disney is paying its fair share like the far left wants big business to pay
a company should not have their own district
And when Disney leaves for a sweeter deal in another state, Orlando's economy will crater and crime will spike... and it'll be ALL on him.
Awesome go woke, go broke
This is going to be very interesting considering that Disney provides numerous infrastructure items disney provides and pays for in that district. Disney isn’t crying over this, trust me.
He should start taxing all those churches that like getting involved in politics but that wouldn't fit his shitty, right wing, grifter narrative
Good, now it can compete with Universal on equal footing, no tax breaks. Also, 2022 elections should have made realize the 'don't say' catchphrase doesn't work. People know how misleading it is.
What a socialist 😄
'small government'
I don't think fucking with Disney is a great political move.
If they think this plays nationally they are sadly mistaken. Nobody and I mean nobody wants to have a dictator who punishes citizens and companies who disagree with a policy. That shit is so unbelievable and the GOP saying he’s their great whyte hope. Trash!
This will backfire.
at no point did I read any criticism of him being an authentication dictatorial fascist in your article FFS.
There is absolutely nothing 'small government' about the unhinged republican party of today
Supreme irony is when Disney pulls out of Florida.
move to maryland... screw the MAGAts
The new law signed Monday, DeSantis said, essentially makes sure that Disney does not get any special treatment that other theme parks in the state are not receiving. Seems only fair‼️
AP using 'don't say gay'. AP is CORRUPT as usual.
Wait small government what?
I really wish Disney would leave Florida but I know that’s not realistic.
Florida officially has a dicktator.
The so-called 'Don't Say Gay' law? Who calls it that, exactly?
Your catchy intro is basically wrong. Disney came out on top; please report the truth.
Fashboy gonna fash. He has no electoral chance in purple and blue states. Will never be President.
Disney should leave Florida.
I LOVE DESANTIS!
More 'own the libs' posturing. The far right loves to make up problems that don't exist so they can look virtuous to each other by decrying those problems.
The AP is a so-called bullshit propaganda outlet. Hey! Neat! This journalism stuff is easy!
There are probably a few other states that would gladly cut Disney a deal to leave Florida.
still don’t understand why anyone would have a problem with this bill
It’s more correcting a wrong than punishment. The free pass is over.
He's a racist fascist....nothing more
DeSantis launches campaign to the sun! Straight into the sun!
Hey disney I suggest you move to a blue state, perhaps sunny southern Colorado.
Let’s see how long it takes for him to f**k it up.
Florida’s Grand Wizard , sorry, Governor, (Govenor in Arkansas) vs tRump ? Who cries first?
He personally has control?
Just like all republican politicians, DeSantis is in a race to the bottom to see who can be the most racist bigoted mean-spirited bully a hole.
So people in America are really happy that a Governor is attacking the most American institution that overseas people still like.... Idiocracy
Disney should leave Florida. There are many other nice places to open a park. Atlanta? Mexico even. Or expand the one in California.
USA Fascism at work …
Floridians will end up paying hard because of DeSantis' power trip.
Fitting since he's quite a character.
Next up: Ron Desantis' mysterious disappearance..
That’s very democratic and capitalist of Ron. Almost seems like he’s all about American freedom of speech and business decisions unless it opposes his policies and opinions.
Party of small government 😂
I don’t know why every democrat in the state isn’t screaming on every media outlet that he’s raised taxes on everyone who lives in that area. By thousands of dollars each.
Really weird watching the left defend special tax breaks for a multi-billion dollar corporation
Dude is just going full on, unapologetic dictator style....wow
Hey Florida that’s your dictator governor way to go EAQUAL RIGHTS FOR ALL FLORIDIANS
You know for a fact it doesn’t say ANYTHING ABOUT SAYING GAY!!! The word gay isn’t even in the bill. It restricts groomers that “teach” from discussing sex and gender to K-3rd grade! If you have a problem w that, seek help! DeSantis2024
Failed to mention: Disney, a corporation, was wrongly given government powers.
This is the only time liberals will support a law giving more power to a massive corporation lmao
How can directly targeting a company for retaliation for disagreeing with you even be LEGAL
BRAVO Ron DeSantis!!! The next President of the United States!!👍🤙🥇🏆
Say Goodbye to Disney World.
DeScumtis is an evil fascist.
Ooh neat big government treading on a business 🤡
GOPWeaponizedGovernment
About time.
Here's what is going to be interesting-Disney has been very quiet in regards to DeSantis bill.Haven't heard from Disney too much in regards to this. Business-wise they are much smarter than DeSantis. I think we'll see the endgame (saving millions, maybe billion+) in a few months.
That is the most disingenuous header I've ever seen from a supposed news sight.
So, the state is dictating how a private business is allowed to function as well as dictating how private citizens must behave....
Well, it’s in Florida. They have to follow state law, like any other law. Next.
How is it not a first amendment violation to single out a private entity for opposing a matter of public policy and changing the law specifically to punish that entity for doing so?
Perfectly normal use of power.... Florida is a dumpster fire.
DeSantis is the face of Republican Christofascism! This isn't democracy. This shouldn't be happening anywhere in the USA!
Thank you taxpayers of Florida for taking over this payment. I hope Disney stock soars. Im going in April spending my money all at Disney and wearing my Pride pin all week long.
“So called” by whom?
Take that Disney!!!!
SerendipitySays Time for Disney to move then?
This State use to be AMAZING when we were a Blue State. See what happens when Republicans take over
Literal fascist shit.
Capitalism
There is no don't say gay law. And Disney no longer gets to police itself.
There is no such bill in Florida
Seriously🙄, there are much more better things tha this. Let people live the they want and why you are controlling them? It is mind boggling how my tax payer money being wasted. You should be thinking about bring more business to Fl and United people than what you are doing.
Hard to characterize it as a punishment. Disney was kind of operating above the law for decades. That level autonomy is being curtailed so they have to abide by the same rules as everyone else. From Disney's perspective, certainly a punishment
Gay Gay Gay infinity!
So-Called by whom?
Soooo “conservative” of him. Totally a small government guy. Blows my mind that people are okay with this guy. 🤯
There is no 'don't say gay law' You need to delete this tweet for disinformation
You commies are the only people who call it that.
Republicans claim to be the party of free speech, and small government, and fiscal responsibility, yet their actions are the exact opposite. Always. I guess they count on their low-info voters to not know the difference.
Dictator Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis going after companies that disagree with him,Ron DeSantis calls suspension black history teaching in Florida schools, Ron DeSantis using police to go after journalists that disagrees with him just like dictator
Good luck with that. What DeSantis is doing is telling an American citizen what they’re permitted to say. If I’m not mistaken that violates the U.S. Constitution’s 1st Amendment. And if anyone wonders who that American is… it’s the corporate entity of Disney. The Supreme…
FAFO
Where are the freedom of speech warriors? Oh right, they don't actually believe in it. This is the government punishing free speech and it's nothing but cheers from that side.
Screwing his people to own the libs.
Florida can’t afford Disney.
They wanted to get involved in politics yet have their own mini government. Doesn't work like that 🤷
Again, we didn't ask to be drug into a dirty culture war with woke leftists, but since you all decided to f-around, now you all are about to find out.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is another dictator not different trump regime
Ticking off Mickey and Minnie will not win you any votes DeSantis. Unless the legislation you proposed is favorable to Disney. By all accounts it is. That is why Disney is silent.
this is certainly one way to report it. Biased, but alright.
But Disney helped fund the bill…
Party of small govt. stikes again
There is no law by that name, “so-called” or otherwise.
What a monster 👺
You're a so-called 'news outlet'.
So is the AP simping for a huge multi national Corp?
Incorrect.
Thanks! Asshole Fascist/Republicans! Shalom
Yup. Straight up violation of their first amendment rights. And thats not the only example of DeSantis doing so. I have no idea how he got reelected. His biggest achievement has been getting far right headlines to campaign on taxpayer's dime.
This doesn't sound like small government...
There's so much wrong with the headline.
The German Nazis took over Jewish businesses because they were more productive than German ones. DeSantin takes over Disney because it is more progressive than him. This man is DANGEROUS.
And here I thought GOP elected officials were really big on 'private property rights' 🤷 Not that Disney's autonomy didn't need modifying, but it should have been in a thoughtful, strategic way. DeSantis & his allies are too easily motivated by vengeance & power consolidation.
Government controlled business, where have I heard that before? Is there a name for that?
Why does DeSantis always act like a Nazi? GovRonDeSantis GOP
Republicans are the party restricting freedom and propping up big government
Fascist DeSantis.
Whether you’re left wing or right wing everyone should oppose this nonsense. Neither side should support politicians abusing their power to retaliate against people for thinking differently.
Big Government Ron
If he really wants to do good tax the churches
Could DeSantis sound like more of a villain? “Today, the corporate kingdom finally comes to an end. There’s a new sheriff in town and accountability will be the order of the day.” DeSantisIsAFascist DontSayDeSantis Disneyworld
Never thought the AP would be biased with fake news.
That is so awesome! Screw Disney, even Walt would close that park down the way they have evolved
Disney with DeSantis
Disney should shut down and force him to reverse his strategy. It would only take a few days of lost revenue to force his hand. They are literally Florida's cash cow.
'Don't Say Gay' law. Don't exist
So much for Republicans favoring “less government”
Who is the party stifling corporate freedom and innovation now? 🤔
Disney should punish Florida by pulling its entire operation out of the state, the number of jobs lost would cost De Santis how presidential election bid
Fascist tyranny.
⚠️ “He stays!” I’m sorry to break this to you, but this decision is mine, not yours. If I’m saying that I’ll leave the country if I have an opportunity to, I’ll do it. 👍
Just stop.
He's a dictator
Literally no such thing as 'don't say gay' bill. AP is now a tabloid.
This is not going to end well
Got dictatorship?
ahhhh, Government punishment of private speech...just as the founders intended i never want to hear the terms 'constitutional conservative' or 'constitutional originalist' again
Disney needs to put its big boy pants on and remember how much economic power it has in that state. They could destroy DeSatanist if they wanted too.
Disney should announce that due to the actions of RonDeSantis they can no longer offer discounts to Florida residents.
C O N T R O L F R E A K A U T H O R I T A R I A N
Seems pretty “small government” to me 👍
Translation; 'If Disney were My Pillow we'd be praising DeSantis. It's what we do.'
It was never called 'don't say gay' ever. Except for the liberal mouthpieces, of which you are highly placed.
Disney pulls out of Florida, taxes go up and home values drop in the surrounding communities, MAGA Blames Democrats. 🤔
Stop saying Dont Say Gay bill. That’s a flat out lie. Readers please do your own research on this.
punishing the company for refusing to remain neutral and attempting to meddle in politics.
So he took control of a business because he disagrees with them 🤔 Isn’t this cancel culture or government overreach? 😂😂😂😂 America so full of shit
A lot of uninformed bots commenting today.
Wait. Disney had their own self governing district? And people are mad that they don’t have it anymore? So, you’re all actually ok with a companies having their own semi-sovereign land? It baffles me how people can let their hate/emotions cloud their rational thought so easily.🤦🏻♂️
Well, I know someone that just got a lifetime ban from all their parks. 🤣
There is no Don't Say Gay law. Way to go AP, you wonder why trust in the news is so low.
Gonna be hilarious watching the court case for first amendment violation of a company
The governor gave himself authority over Disneyworld because he didn’t like criticism. Where’s the freedom of speech people now?
You mean the law that never said 'don't say gay'. The punishment was for Disney sticking its nose in a good law that prevents sex ed for K thru 3rd grade. Only the degenerates are in favor of that.
Pro business Florida
Performative. “In the 1967 special act that created Reedy Creek, there’s a specific section that says the state of Florida covenants to all bond holders that it will not alter or abridge the powers given to the district.”
Republican perverts don’t want children to have trusted adults to talk to if their family is abusing them.
DisneyWorld should just turn into GayWorld
First Disney, then the rest of the damn pedophile cult. I hope the punishment doesn’t stop there. No rest until every single ABC groomer pays for what they’ve done.
Well one can count on the infrastructure to go downhill now
He is the governor of the whole state, about time Disney stop operating as it's own country.
rule baby rule
Fascist.
Biased alert. so-called 'Don't Say Gay' law.
Think your electric bill, rent, insurance etc are high. Well there goes your taxes! Those counties involved have to pick up the tab.
Good for him. Great for our state. GovRonDeSantis. Best governor ever. 😊 ❤️ 🇺🇸
Disney…take him to court😡
It is time for Disney to close all operations until the governor can personally assure the state that all facilities are up to code. Every ride, every toilet, every outlet, throughout the entire 43 square miles.
It’s known as amusement park equity.
DeSantis needs to be black hooded in the middle if the night and dropped off in the Everglades.
SaintSluggo
DeathSantis is a dictator and worse than Trump because he know how form complete sentences.
Well, at least he will suffer massively if he runs for Prez since that whole process is pretty much run by corporate media.
Good. No corporations should have self governing soverties. Most Americans agree on this, but we do realize the AP has become an extremist pundit organization.
Fake News
Big Government
Lol the party of less government has become the party of ALL government
Maduro with all the criminals things he have done in Venezuela is a better person than this bad Donald impression.
Sounds good!
Disney will be closed by the end of the year I'm betting
It was never the 'so-called'. Corporate media just started calling it that to get clicks. Stop lying.
'Attempting to punish' would be more accurate. My bet is Disney execs and attorneys are smarter than DeSantis and his fellow hillbillies. This endgame has yet to be played out.
So Disney should IMMEDIATELY announce the closure of Walt Disney World and the termination of all employees unable to relocate. A YUGE hit to employment numbers, as well as to tax revenues... and they'll have DeSantis and DeNazis to thank...
There is no don’t say gay law
Im sure this will go over well
He's so emotional. Small dicc move 🤏
'Gives him control' is a left wing propaganda phrase. He's removed Disney's control and returned it to the state. Bias 🚨
Great job framing this the way your Leftist readers demand.
It’s amazing to me that USA has “free press” & y’all still run propaganda like this by choice. I guess the “don’t say gay” law is so effective they couldn’t even put the word “gay” in the bill
I thought they wanted smaller government
Imagine if you just told the truth.
He’s just so gross
Garbage American press continues to side with groomers.
Fascism at work.
Republicans love big government control and love lying about freedom
So how much of a tyrant can a state governor become before the federal government steps in? Or is there a tipping point? If not we need one. He is destroying Florida. DeSantisIsAFascist
Don't really care about DeSantis, but I think it's messed up to give a corporation the ability of self governance, or at least only giving one entity this ability and not others.
This is the right thing to do even if he's doing it for the wrong reasons.
Expected B.S from the swamp
Nice.
Next time Ronnie wants to make a law to punish LGBTQ people and their families everyone better shut up about it OR ELSE
Disney's debt problem is now Florida's debt problem.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, …
He doesn’t care because this mess he’s creating will be for the next governor, he won’t be re-elected governor or win the presidency.
Don't say gay 🤣🤣🤣🤣 AP=🤡🤡🤡
Our very own Vladimir Putin but obese.
So called 'reporters' at AP missed that Disney provided SERVICES to the Disney district. Now Florida is on the hook for streets sanitation etc.
So much layers of bullshit here, no corporation should have the levels of autonomy Disney has. However, DeRacist’s actions all happen for the wrong reasons, so you cant even celebrate it
He's Garbage!
Governmental agents (Desantis) taking revenge on private entities or persons for their opinions is an actual breach of the first amendment.
Disney should leave and set up in GA.
... ‘self-governing district?’ So was Walt Disney World a country within the state of Florida? ... within the U.S.?
nothing in the law says you can't say gay I hate how the media and ppl push the false narrative. Disney needs to worry about them losing billions of dollars more than what lies they want to make up over a damn bill
Disney should end discounts for Florida residents. That should wake people up.
Fascism by definition
This guy is SUCH a hand job
winning
this could turn out really good when desantis gets voted out and disney loses control over its shitty little company town
Go Ron!
Fascist pig
Does this guy just make bills up and approve them himself?
DeSantis doesn't take control, Florida takes control. Read bill before commenting, really changes nothing.
Sounds like Fascism to me
Good, worry about your spiraling finances instead of grooming kids into perverse lifestyles, this should keep disney busy! 😂
Petty, isn't he. It's gonna backfire. FL can live without DeSantis, but not Disney.
Probably Disney should not have been a sovereign entity anyway
Morning_Joe our family visits WDW at least 4 times a year. Next crack in pavement or irrigation head spraying onto roadway…I guess will call Big D now
They say that history repeats itself, the first time as tragedy and the second as farce. Watching the heir apparent to MAGA’s reboot of Nazi Germany start with an Anschluss of Disney World into Florida really puts some ears on that quote LOL.
Ah yes, smaller gov't indeed.
This time the mouse built it's own trap.
Good old 1st amendment loving DeSantis. Lol.
But RonDeSantisFL isn't a fascist dictator Just because he seizes control of land Just because he banned books Just because he's criminalized 'decadent' 'bohemian' activities and lifestyles I'm sure I'm leaving out some evidence of his benign democratic open governance
Hitler DeSantis moving FL to an authoritarian government. As he is moving FL out of the US, good luck to you during the next hurricane season.
The Mouse can run unlimited ads with high production values against him (if they roll that way)
Oh yes, relieving Disney of a huge maintenence expense that the city is now on the hook for will really show em
pattmlatimes What could possibly go wrong with this!?
Don’t get involved in politics that the state you are n vastly opposes. Also it’s NOT punishment. They choose to take sides and now their subsidies (thought the left wanted big business to pay more) are gone.
I encourage people to look up 'bill of attainder.' This is flat-out illegal.
Lol... Enjoy. They used to handle their own affairs, now everyone pays for Disney's Infarstructure
That’s a while lot of new roads and infrastructure that Florida is responsible for. De Santis needs to be removed from the nation.
Interesting if Disney decides to start moving investments elsewhere
Disney rn:
Appreciate you Ronny
Let’s see how conservative core principles are doing in Ron DeSantis’ Florida: • Limited government- GONE • Free markets - GONE • Human dignity- GONE* * Black history can’t be taught. LGBTQ not welcomed. Immigrants (including those from Cuba) are not welcomed.
Apparently Disney needed to be taken over since they thought it was ok to teach kindergartners about sex. 🤷🏻♂️
Not fascist at all.
This is fascism. Plain, simple, and the Republicans goal for America. Punishing a group because they don’t agree with their right wing BS.
The cruelness is the point
So leftists are upset that Governor DeSantis ends special treatment for one of the wealthiest companies. This bill just and special treatment for Disney no other company gets If Disney is going to get involved in political propaganda then they deserve no special treatments.
DeSaten has such a fragile ego, just wait until he hits the debate stage.
He's within his right to control the land that legally belongs to the state of Florida. Disney is within its right to shut down all operations in Florida.
You mean saved them billions of dollars?
This guy sucks
Misleading headline. Do better.
Another PAB governor whose ego is bigger than his...job.
This is crazy
Watch what happens next. The current board members don't get paid. He'll change that. And watch where Disney's infastructure contracts are awarded - most likely his political donors.
“Punishing” says Pravda. “Punishing”.
🖕
DeSantis says a new sheriff is in town and there will be accountability. He's not talking about enforcing environmental regulations or labor laws. He just means that there will be no more backtalk. Disney will fall in line behind his policies or else...
Continuing to refer to the Florida Parental Rights in Education Act as something woke activists have termed it proves your biased, fact less reporting is not to be trusted on this subject or any other for that matter.
LOL, pro capitalism and small government in action!
I hope Disney moves out of Florida as a big eff you to that little troll.
Hey is anyone else having issues with their DeSantis+ streaming app? Every other word is bleeped out.
Lmao
Punishing? You're a waste of time. Nobody believes a fucking word you say. Don't say you weren't warned when your shrinking workforce shrinks even more, even more quickly. Nobody wants to pay to be lied to.
My way or the highway. Makes Huey Long look tame.
Everything I have read….Florida just took over all the debt, will need to provide all social services. This should be fun to watch.
desantis is over-estimating how much disney needs florida 'Disney said it will be reorganizing into 3 divisions: Entertainment, ESPN & parks and experiences. Disney will slash 7,000 jobs from its workforce & plans to cut $5.5 billion in costs' layoffs
Disney should leave Florida and decimate the state's economy, leaving DeSantis in ruins.
The headline is false. The second paragraph of your own article—apparently, correctly reporting that the governor is now required to appoint a commission to determine basic government services to WaltDisneyWorld—conflicts with the first paragraph.
The bill bars instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third grade. There is absolutely no reason to oppose it unless you are desperate to talk to kids about sex, in which case you are a pedophile.
And with that Traitor GovRonDeSantis has made every Floridian responsible for billions of dollars that Disney had been responsible for. Maybe some day Floridians will wake up and see how damaging Traitor GovRonDeSantis has been to Florida.
Is this really about governing Florida or a hostile corporate takeover?
You mean that 'Don't talk to my prepubescent 6-9yr old about sex' bill?
And that is what Putin does in Russia. Takes over private companies and forces them to kowtow to him. I bet he is siphoning the money from profits.
