Mickey farrrr Right WIng Republican

you dont know what you think you know rich fool.. shut up

[garrett]

Ron DeSantis is a Middle of the Road Republican

and by policy he is very Donald Trump, just so you know so alll you're MAGGATs probably will like Ron D fyi and ima Registered Independent a decade or something. Forget but point is he is Middle of the Road Republican, by policy too. And so probably will appeal to more unsure Independents. That actually decides the elections in SWING States which we are, Florida is arguably well imho the MOST important Swing State in the United States on Election day because. If you lose them electoral College votes here in Florida and it is a lot, 13 i think. It takes multiple other States to make up losing Florida since it is for so many electoral College Votes on Presidential Election Day so...

Florida matters on Election Day (Presidential..)

BUMP

Looks like Desantis is actually attempting this: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/n...elf-governance


Hope it works. No private corporation should be its own government.

I want to see Disney World secede

Disney would be wise to adopt a pay as you weigh system.
Lard ass bitches would incur "stress on infrastructure" tolls per ride. Power grid fines and clean up costs related to anyone who has never seen a family of three knees would also keep things even.

[tigerpiper]

I agree with Druff, not because of punishing speech, but because of quasi-government privilege given to a corporation. Ridiculous. Happens all the time with developers, though.

And I'm very liberal! Let's hug it out.

I dont know about anybody else but the fact Disney could've built themselves a nuclear reaction I find just a wee bit concerning (Ok technically Im assuming it would still require the DOE at the Fed level to sign off if it had wanted to). Anyway, the irony is not only did Desantis eliminate Disneys self-governance board it also cut the legs out from under Orange County which is indeed leans left and had a plan to slap Disney with a huge tax bill to fund more leftist bullshit in the county. I do wonder though how this will affect public safety in the zone as Disney originally had its own fire, ambulance, and police around the property, will this continue as is or will it indeed revert to Orange County authority for public safety and what sort of compromise will exist on that part of a necessary tax/support bill to cover those services. If it remains separate will those service employees now become state employees and thus eligible for state retirement system.

Anyone seen this racist BS from Disney yet?

[Dan Druff]

Yes, I just saw that horrible clip yesterday. Amazing what passes as "kids programming" these days. We've come a long way from when I used to watch Popeye, Bugs Bunny, The Superfriends, and Scooby Doo in the 1970s.

Here's a surprisingly good article from CNN, analyzing Disney from a business standpoint, while mostly avoiding any woke/partisan talking points: https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/07/inves...iew/index.html

Bob Iger, who thought he could retire and leave his hand-picked successor Bob Chapek in charge, now has to come back and clean up the mess. Iger is definitely well-respected, but he's also 71, and simply may not have the energy to save this sinking ship.

This comes at a time when Disney theme parks are doing better than ever -- even with the apparent failure of the Galactic Starcruiser hotel. The new Avatar movie has done great, but that's not enough to save Disney from disaster at the moment.

I have a feeling that Iger is going to de-wokeify Disney+, as one of his many moves to right the ship. The success or failure of Disney going forward might be largely tied to streaming, and the last thing they need is to alienate half the country. The woman in charge of that terrible clip posted above is the same woman who bragged last year that she "inserts queerness whenever possible" into Disney programming, and that nobody in the company pushes back against it.

We really do need a day of reckoning where entertainment companies pushing woke propaganda -- especially to kids -- take an economic beating and put a stop to this bullshit. Hollywood has always been liberal, but it's gotten out of control recently.

Streaming subs are up.

Agree that woke trends in youth programming are lame, but industry struggles have nothing to do with gout riddled, geriatric conservative outrage over cartoons.

Just a shortsighted PR stunt from pederast DeSantis, whole brand is to keep snowflake constituents angry.

[FRANKRIZZO]

Couldn't cults then be able to get special status?

[Sanlmar]

I’ll go to Disney right after my next Carnival cruise.

What I do care about is DeSantis protecting my right to own a gas stove.

Is this what they mean by gaslighting?

The streaming unit is actually one of Disney's biggest concerns right now. It's that and the movies which are worrying investors. The theme parks, minus the lol Galactic Starcruiser which is just a 100-room hotel, are doing great at the moment.

The woke programming isn't the main reason for Disney's struggles, but it's an unnecessary drag on any recovery they're attempting. You'll see that in the coming years, that is going to be dialed down. In fact...
