The States: Where We Wish Texas Would Secede Already

BTW someone on Twitter brought up an interesting point...Flo(R)ida screwing with Di$ney means ESPN is not going to look too kindly on that state nor is ABC. Ask the NHL how being blackballed by ESPN was for them...

There is none. But he thinks it makes him look tough against the wokes and the libbies, and so makes him appealable to the braindead dumbfucks who supported Donnie.

I don't think he considers how much of the Donnie appeal was just Donnie, and not so much that he was just an a&&hole to people.

Donnie the a&&hole is one thing, but does Deathsantis the a&&hole carry that same appeal?

This country has about 100 million morons and/or hard core fascists. It's not a bad bet to dive to the very bottom.

Don't write him off, yet. I find him repulsive, but I found Dump repulsive, too.
 
The one thing Trump had that DeSantis doesn't is the "Cult of Personality". He was a celebrity who had decades of marketing behind the name long before he ever ran for president. I am not sure most people could pick DeSantis out of a lineup...

Not saying he can't win because stupid people vote...but if he does it will be for different reasons than Trump did and if Trump decides to run or endorse someone else DeSantis will be Ted Cruzed fatser than you can say "Lil Marco".
 
I tis funny to see GOP voters talking about how it isn't right that a business can decide for itself what they support and that Di$ney should have never had autonomy. Even a month ago those same whiners said otherwise.

Even better is the clickbaiters pretending this somehow hurts Di$ney. It amazes me people have no clue how business works.

I don't get it. What benefit is there to DeSantis if he succeeds in getting rid of Disney?

He isn't going to get rid of it. Disney World is 43 square miles. 25000 acres. About the size of San Francisco. Double Providence, half of Seattle or Boston. It isn't like the Mouse can just up and move. It would take years and cost tens of billions of dollars to relocate. And where would Disney go?

If you're Disney, you announce later this year that because of the current climate, you're reviewing whether to continue operations in Florida with a decision to be made by early next year. DeSantis only won in 2018 by 22,000 votes. Make a few hundred thousand people balance the thought of their jobs leaving versus waving the CRT flag or whatever nonsense he's doing this week to run as TrumpWannabe 2024. Problem might resolve itself.

Doing more research, this might end up saving Bob Chapek's job. By dissolving RCID the state is relieving Disney of over $1 billion in debt and moving it to the residents of Osceola and Orange Counties. Chapek can easily spin this as a huge win for the company. The only downside for Disney is that it no longer controls the land - it is just another property owner. So if a road needs repairs, Disney can't do it itself, it has to ask the county. When it needs a new fire engine it can't just buy one itself, it has to ask the county. And the county has to pay for these things - not Disney. Another victory for the Mouse.

Oh, and early estimates are that the residents of Orange County will see their property taxes go up as much as 25% next year. Way to Own the Libs!

ETA: Looking over the 2018 election data, DeSantis isn't all that concerned with Orange or Osceola counties. He lost both by 20 points. Not exactly key to his re-election campaign.

You really need to read previous pages in the thread buddy ;^)

Really? Lots of places have 43 square miles of real estate sitting idle? Preferably near a major transportation hub. With a workforce of 80,000 people ready to hire. And good weather all 12 months of the year.

Yes. It is called Mexico.
(Oh please imaginary being in the sky MAKE THIS HAPPEN.)

Las Vegas is right there and sports franchises threaten to move there all the time.
 
Yep. That's three options right there. I think one of the biggest mistakes I made in life was entrenchment. I should have structured my life to be more mobile.
 
LOL. Disney is going to pack up the small city it has in central Florida and relocate it to Cuba or Mexico. If Disney wanted a theme park in Mexico it would already have one. But diplomatic relations with Cuba are excellent with a solid history. Can't see a problem there.

Vegas won't work because it would cannibalize the park in Anaheim. Preferably this mythical place would be east of the Mississippi. And in America. And someplace this Don't Say Gay and other political BS aren't going to be a factor.

So 40+ square miles of real estate
Good weather year round
80000 employees
In the United States
East of the Mississippi
Near easy transportation
Agreeable business and political climate
