For the first time, Disney is seeking damages in the state court case initiated by the governor’s handpicked oversight board.
In the case initiated by the board of supervisors picked by DeSantis to oversee Walt Disney World’s special tax district, the entertainment giant on Thursday filed a series of counterclaims, including for breach of contract and violations of the Florida constitution over its due process and free speech rights. It moved for damages and an order forcing the district to comply with the terms of the development agreements.
Disney was accused of doing some pretty heinous things. How can you just “drop it and move on” when you thought they were operating a global child sex ring? Do conservatives not care about global child sex rings anymore?
🌍🧑🚀🔫🧑🚀 Never did
I thought conservatives loved the catholic church. When did they stop caring?
Bro the KKK hates Catholics. It’s a power structure that exists outside of the national politics, they can’t control it, so it’s the enemy. Always was. The KKK vs Catholic thing goes back to New Orleans and Louisiana racists.
Oh I didn’t know. I was referring to the global child sex ring though.
The mouse kept quiet and let him run his mouth. They didn’t immediately drop the hammer on him, possibly hoping he’d get bored, more likely, biding their time to let him hang himself.
Now that the mouse had bit back, I don’t see them letting it go. I can’t believe I’m on the side of a pretty shitty mega corporation, but I hope the mouse bleeds him dry.
The shitty corporation, actually. There really aren’t many up at that level of shitty. We’re talking about a company that created the perfect “child star to sex symbol” pipeline while simultaneously holding the most family friendly, kid friendly title across most of the world.
Really, the mouse is Satan but that doesn’t mean we need to side with DeSantis either. Pull up a chair, grab your popcorn and watch, no need to root for either of these monstrosities.
I know the mouse is bad, and let not forget the nazi roots, but the worst company out there? Not likely. At least not in my mind. There are plenty of other companies that are actively destroy the plant/humanity, in far more immediate and tangible way than the mouse.
Regardless, I’m not agreeing with Disney, or their practices, but I do want to see them knock Florida bitch down a peg, or 20, preferably all the way down the financial ruin ladder.
What do you call a tycoon who is virulently anti-communist and anti-labor and anti-union? I mean that’s a fascist right? Pretty clearly.
Even Walt’s living niece today (heiress even) has said her great uncle was borderline fascist, and a racist, and an antisemite. Had the Nazis come to America Walt would’ve gladly given them a personal tour of his park before swearing allegiance. Whatever it took to keep his money. That’s not coincidentally the same reason big money always backs fascism.
What I’m saying is, they’re the same picture. Disney and DeSantis are just competing angles of the same philosophy. Disney was happy with DeSantis policies right up until he wanted to affect their bottom line. That was too much. That’s always been the line for them. Always will be.
Pressing on him during his campaign would send a good message to politicians not to try this shit again.
On Monday, he [DeSantis] urged Disney to “drop the lawsuit,” saying he’s “moved on.”
He’s moved on; The Mouse has not…
The Mouse has a long memory, too.
The Mouse’s lawyers sends their regards.
Sorry, you paid for the ride, and now you’re going in the teacup.
Never go against Disney when money is on the line. Doubly so when your state depends on Disney money.
If you mess with the mouse, you get the ears.
Hmmm do I side with government fascists or corporate fascists for this issue?
Corporate fascists. One only hurts an industry reducing wages and overworking workers while the other actively encourages the loss of rights and murders of minority groups and is looking to expand they’re influence to the whole country.
I feel guilty for finding it so satisfying
DeSantis is currently the greater of two evils. For now, I cheer on the mouse.
The hope is that Disney becomes so occupied with getting its pound of flesh (and DeSantis has so much to take) that it’ll forget to
bribelobby congressmen to extend copyright protections another dozen years. DeSantis loses, Disney loses, everyone else wins.
What a wet noodle of a man.
Couldn’t take on Disney. Won’t be able to contend with Trump. Wants to run the country?
Desantis? more like defuqtis.
I hate that the fascist has me rooting for a mega corp.
Don’t mess with the mouse. He’s more capitalist than you’ll ever be, Ron.
