Even then they sometimes don't realize it. My wife had a friend who went on a long rant about saving the precious embryos, every child is sacred, and the friend was so happy for her rainbow baby. (The use of that term is important.)

When pointed out why her kid was a rainbow baby, and how her having treatment for her miscarriage was now considered illegal in some states, the friend promptly blocked my wife on social media.

That won't help them if they have a medical emergency and no doctor is willing to risk running afoul of new laws in order to treat them.

Lol. If they have a medical emergency, the corporate jet will medevac them out. Rich people don't have to face consequences. Lmfao.
 
Iowa GOP is going full Kansas. Unfortunately they were one of the few to actually see the red wave materialize so they have no incentive to slow down, and most of their bills are backloaded, so the full effects won't be felt for another 4-6 years.

I'll just say in glad I'm no longer in state government, because the new AG is full on cuckoo. And I say that as someone who worked with her husband for a couple of years and got along well enough despite political differences.

Wasn't it? The Darkies were kept in their place, the womenfolk contented themselves with their needlepoint and white men were free to run everything however they saw fit. What fault could you possibly find with that time period?
 
Desantis has taken over Disney tax board

I hope everyone in area loves their new expenses that the dictator will install.

scum of the earth. Sending a hit squad with guns to home of someone who dared report accurate Covid stats, imprisoning black felons who had the right to vote. Absolute jackbooted thuggery because Disney didn’t want to support the bigotry law

Waiting to see if Disney moves to some other state and leaves Florida as South Alabama.

They'll never shutter the theme park. Too much has been invested to just Six Flags N'awlins it. And where are they going to go? Georgia? Arkansas? Texas? Pushing to buy land, they wouldn't create anything worth visiting for almost a decade. Even if they keep FLA open to pay for DisneyHills Appalachia.

Corporate offices... They may lessen the staffing in them, but they're not going to shutter those either.

The cheapest route, and the most likely solution, is they're just going to throw Brinks trucks at whatever sane D (or potentially R) candidate who will repeal DeSantis' shit.
 
To build Disney World from scratch you are talking a bill in the $100+ BILLION range when all is said and done. Even for the mouse, that bird ain't flying...
 
I wonder if Disney would even notice if they just said "fuck it, we're closed for 6 months" (and hopefully continued to pay employees in the area). I mean most of their cash flow has to be the movies anyway. But I imagine it would really stick it to the local business and the state with all that sweet sweet tourism money and sales tax dollars. Maybe enough so that it would put pressure on the state to reverse course.

In the meantime I can't imagine they wouldn't file lawsuits to block this

Actually the profit from movies is pennies on the dollar compared to what the parks bring in.

The park in Orlando makes about $80 million per day.

That has to be for all parks worldwide combined. Stat I saw was 29 billion in revenue for "parks, experiences, products" for 2022 (which is 80 mil/day 365 days a year). I'm sure Orlando is a majority of that however.

​​​​​Media was 55 billion. After reading more it looks like media is the largest share of revenue but as RaceBoarder already pointed out, "parks, experiences, products" is responsible for most profit. Still, I would think Disney has some options here to eventually come out back on top/in control.
