    Yes. A woman died of allergic reactions when eating at a disney-owned restaurant after telling the waitstaff repeatedly about her allergies.

    Her husband then sued the restaurant, because that’s already fucking insane.

    Disney then argued that actually, the court didn’t have jurisdiction because the husband had agreed to arbitration when he signed up to Disney+'s free trial 2 years prior.

    His lawyers seem to actually be worth their money and are fighting this.

      Disney-owned

      Not Disney owned. I know we hate Disney but stop with the misinformation.

        After seeing this comment I had to check how Disney is involved if they don’t own the restaurant. The restaurant is in Disney World (specifically Disney Springs). https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8jl0ekjr0go

        IIUC that does put the restaurant in the special tax district that gives Disney the authority of a county government. But my very cursory search seems to indicate that restaurant safety oversight is managed at the state level.

          Yo what the fuck this is literally in the plot of both shadowrun and cyberpunk as the beginning of the end for state governance.
