You wanna pick a fight with the Mouse? You feel lucky, Ronny?
Disney cancels $1 billion dollar expansion; cancels plan to move a division from California to Florida; approximately 2,000 jobs involved; average salary of workers was to be around $120,000.
“Does the state want us to invest more, employ more people, and pay more taxes, or not?” Robert A. Iger, Disney’s chief executive, said on an earnings-related conference call with analysts last week.
DeSantis presumably has lots to do besides “fight woke” and Disney. Disney has lots of lawyers and such whose only job is to look out for Disney. He’d lose the fight.
Personally…I find it weird to be rooting for Disney. A company I consider a prime example of an evil, soulless company that has made our country worse.
But DeSantis and his ilk are so much worse I’m rooting for the evil mouse.
Strange times we live in.
The enemy of my enemy is my temporary ally.
Maxim 29.
Strange times indeed. I make no secret of the fact that I regard Disney as a manifestation of Pure Evil, and all my students know it. So when we talk about what is going on in Florida, having me take the side of Disney is rather concerning to them.
You could tell them you’re rooting for injuries.
Yeah. I hate Disney. But they happen to be on the right side this time.
…as the dog said to the mouse.
It’s a real Hitler or Stalin conundrum.
My Google-fu is failing me, but wasn’t there either a Straight Dope column or a Staff Report about how Disney World attractions like Space Mountain would be impossible without special variances from the county and state governments?
