Disney Vs. DeSantis: Why Florida’s Governor Took On America’s Media Giant 

agree. You don't duck with the mouse house, they have the lawyers and the money to trap you in court forever or until they get their way.

Didn’t they singlehandedly change copyright law so they could keep Mickey Mouse out of the public domain? If they can win at a federal level, I doubt Ron has a chance.

Perhaps federally but locally, they are showing their limits. Although it's likely this legal battle is all just a visad to cover up how poorly the company is performing.

@@RubiaStorm Isn't Disney having to cut over 5 billion in addition to thousands of jobs from across the company? Seems to be performing very badly.

What constitutional rights? The special tax benefits that Disney had for 50 years?

@@zoobrizz The rights conservatives have been fighting for my entire life. The rights of businesses to engage in politics. All Disney did was state an opinion in opposition to a piece of legislation. If that's all it takes to trigger Republicans than none of our rights are safe.

Disney's constitutional rights were never violated. In any event I thought Liberals hated the fact that corporations were people and had constitutional rights to begin with?

​@@seymourbutts4654 business out of politics. Nationalize it now!

What Constitutional right? I went to law school enlighten us scholar! Oh you can't.

Well the details are still being figured about by a district court. Disney has strapped on a suicide vest on saying that all special taxing districts should be dissolved if theirs is dissolved … all 1800 other districts in Florida. It’ll saddle the state of florida with billions of dollars in debt.

You’re conflating libertarians with conservatives

Why should they? When did those districts get into the political opinion frey?

​@@kurtgrundel4045 Your last sentence makes absolute zero sense my man. I don't know if you mistyped or just misinterpreted what I wrote. As far as why they should they have special districts, are you seriously in favor of ripping away the special privileges those entities have in their respective areas? You honestly would go up to a 65-year-old living life in The Villages and say that retirement community shouldn't have as much of an influence in Sumter County as they currently do? Do you how much tax revenue this state garners from retirees moving down here, how much they pay by living there, and how much of an economic boom The Villages have been for our state? Sorry, but free enterprise is always superior to any economic model that challenges, and private entities absorbing a large swath of the tax base in exchange for them having the right to build properties that make the rest of our lives better is not a net negative for our state. Also, it's not a coincidence that Florida, out of almost every other state in the Southeast, doesn't have to pay an income tax and pays less than 7% I believe in sales tax. It's because when were not waging petty culture wars with private companies, we're incentivizing them to come here, and if it makes economic sense, grant them the special privileges to produce more products/services that make our lives in this state more enjoyable. If we got rid of the Daytona special district, Volusia County residents would pay more in taxes, same thing in Sumter County as it pertains to The Villages, and the same thing for Orange County as it pertains to Disney.

​@@davedthomson It wasn't the problem. They didn't care until Disney spoke out on a law. They were very open about that. Personally, I couldn't care less about the powers held by the District. My interest is in the reason they did it because we supposedly don't allow government to retaliate. Even though we are talking about privileges, that applies to privileges the government grants you. Similarly, the government couldn't take away your driver's license, your fishing license, or your property tax cut because you spoke out against some action of the government.

​@@davedthomson < still lying.

Yes because they don’t want to encourage castration of the little ones.

@@newspin2477 What "underlying law" is not in Disney's favor? I hate to break it to you, but you will be long dead before Disney even considers a bankruptcy.

Sure. Disney is broke . Disney stock hit a new 52-week low this week and is down 48 percent over the past year and down 57%?in the past 2 years. The decline contributed to making the worst year for Disney’s stock since 1974, per Dow Jones Market Data

It's crucial to emphasize that the overarching principle here is that businesses should be unequivocally committed to their primary function: creating economic growth and opportunities. A company, regardless of its size and influence, should focus its energy on its commercial operations rather than meddling in governmental affairs. Indeed, Disney is a significant player, but it is not the sole catalyst for Florida's prosperity. The state's robustness extends beyond a single enterprise, and in the long run, public policies shape business landscapes, not the whims of a corporation. Disney finds itself in a challenging position, not being a software firm that can swiftly relocate at the flick of a switch. Their physical presence, engraved in Florida's soil, restricts them from immediate relocation. This predicament should serve as a pivotal learning experience for the corporate world. "Disney's role is to conduct business, taking care of its operations and workforce, rather than involving itself in government policies, especially those related to children's education." This is a salient reminder for all businesses that their role is to perform commercially, not politically.

Well, he opened the state while Covid. So, he essentiallly created jobs and got people rehired, while other states were closed. So i guess, thanks to Desantis, Disney got to make money quicker than in California.

So because Disney feeds many families, it now has the right to tell you what is wrong or right, what is good for your children or not, what your children should hear or see at schools and other places and that good moral old ways are no longer viable for your children and family?

Other districts don't have the broad powers that the Disney Creek Special district had. There were normal special districts and then there was the disney special district which was in a class of its own.

@@MIKAEL212345 wrong. every district has their own board. if i have the money, i can buy a big plot of unincorporated land and incorporate it as a city and have the same rights to govern it. what desantis tried to do with disney was government overreach.

Nossir... when Desantis voted to dissolve RCID.. it also dissolved 5 other special districts becasue all 6 of these districts were founded before Florida adopted its state constitution. A new district was put into place to replace RCID, and whenever a new district is formed that crosses multiple county lines, the governor appoints the initial members of the board. The changes only serve to put Disney on the exact same playing field as any other corporation. Also, RCID was a legally distinct entity from Disney in the first place, so Disney is only a 3rd party to the change of the districts.... it would be illegal for a private entity to control a government and for that government to issue tax-free municipal bonds that primarily only benefitted the corporation rather than the public good.... so yeah... maybe securities fraud is on the table for Disney too.. especially if Iger keeps talking as if he and RCID are the same thing.

As a Republican I though DiSantis might be a viable alternative to the lunacy of Trump, but this has shown that’s he’s nothing more than a petulant and vindictive child. Man, my party of all these years is a disaster. I’d take Liz Cheney or Mitt Romney any day over these crazy fools.

I highly recommend watching videos from the Legal Mindset channel. He actually practiced law in Florida for special districts and is very familiar with the situation, and he actually says most of these people don't know what their talking about and Disney might actually lose billions from having done illegal stuff in their district because the company basically ran the district.

@@justoncheney7172 they might. But given the fact that Disney Parks made 7.78 billion in their first quarter of 2023, I'd say they can afford to lose.

Disney has too much invested to ever pull out of Florida. There is a zero percent chance of that happening.

Who would choose those states over Florida? There’s a reason most life on earth lives in the tropics.

It's not about the money it's about control. Disney wants to build more parks and hotels in Florida while charging more for each guest. Debt is not what Disney is worried about. The district allowed Disney to do things without having to answer to the voters. The state of Florida now has the power to do things on Disney owned property, such as build a prison, which DeSantis has has threatened to do.

Só Disney acted as a responsible corporate citizen , a rarity these days. And foolhardy Demagogue De Santis jumped in to earn brownie points with his constituency.

Disney responded poorly. They have no legal case here. I made a longer post of my own if you want to know why I believe this. Personally, I agree with the idea that parents should have the right to have more involvement with their children's education, and I also agree that conversations regarding gender identity and sexual orientation should take place in the home, not at school. My kids go to school in Germany... guess what they are doing rather than studying all this stuff? Taking 3 languages, studying advanced subjects like physics as early as Jr. High, taking classes about other topics such as history and geography in a 2nd language. Teenagers who want to go to college in Germany do not get jobs after school.. they actually need to study after school to learn things that actually qualify them to go to that free college.. A graduate of the highest level of high school in Germany practically graduates with an American associates degree...how else do you think a country can afford to send kids to college for free? We are failing kids on so many levels before you even get into cutting off body parts.

@@newspin2477 I don't have to go searching for your post to know why you believe that. You are very revealing here. So let's start with the actual issue which you appear to overlook. Disney does have a very good case. It is a First Amendment case. It made a mild statement in support of its employees and customers and DeSantis, the think skinned culture warrior with fascist tendencies, responded poorly and took a number of steps to retaliate against private speech. (Incidentally, those retaliatory actions by the Florida Governor have already cost the state approximately $1.4 Billion in economic investment from both Disney and other smaller cancelled investments) Additionally, the Disney case includes the Reedy Creek District being reorganized and about 2000 other districts, including Daytona and the Villages, not and the attempt to invalidate previous contracts because the new Board of Desantis appointees are bound by contract law. Even though this has nothing to do with the culture war you refer to (which is the propaganda version not what the law you might be referencing actually says) German system is very good However, I disagree with the divisions into various pathways (Gymnasium, Realschule, or Hauptschule) at such a young age. Having children myself, I prefer the American style of general education and core curriculum...at least when politicians stay out of it (like Desantis should have). I like the German cohort system but given the US has a more mobile population, I could (and have) seen it fail students, especially in urban and suburban areas. The classical curriculum is my favorite (all 4 of my children studied Latin...3 in public schools) but let's face it, Spanish, French, Mandarin, or German is far more useful today. Finally, I disagree with the relative pedagogical value of the German homework emphasis. You are failing your own children by assuming this is about cutting off body parts. It's not. No matter what the propagandists tell you.

@@newspin2477 "I also agree that conversations regarding gender identity and sexual orientation should take place in the home, not at school. " Interesting. Do you suggest that schools should not mention boys or girls, or talk about hetrosexual relationships? After all, those are all aspects of gender identity and sexual orientation. For example 'the very hungry caterpillar' uses the word 'he' on page 4. Should this book be removed from schools?

@@NPSF3000 If I had to pick one versus the other, then ya... change the hungry caterpillar. My kids go to school in Germany... the school libraries over there only consist of books that are actually used in the classroom. If you want a different book, you go to the city library. In the town where I grew up in the USA, the city library is quite literally the nicest building in the city. Maybe schools should focus on teaching kids useful skills that prepare them to contribute to society as adults and leave the rest to the parents.

@@kimc4832 whats that got to do with your comment?

​@@Jaxboy86 he saying DeSantis is a hypocrite.

W

Excellent point

Disney has a RIGHT to speak out, but should be discouraged from being political. Why did they fight against a bill that most parents wanted, which was about removing controversial sexual topics like gender ideology from the classroom? I swear nobody actually read the bill. It was very reasonable and not a right wing thing IMO at all.

@@TheGreatOne428bro your that guy that tried to run me over yesterday What’s up bro

@@bamboom9201 Most companies aren't apolitical, as much as we want them to be. Also in regards to the bill, agree to disagree. I'd rather not get into the weeds about the bill. Because regardless of bill, like you mentioned, they can disagree with it, which is all I'm saying. Have a good one.

Very well said. You can't simply punish one for (s)he disagrees with you. Not even you are a governor. Apparently, DeSantis is leveraging on this cultural campaign at the expense of Florida at large.

Then they should go. Disney stock hit a new 52-week low this week and is down 44 percent over the past year and more than 55% in the past 2 years. The decline contributed to making the worst year for Disney’s stock since 1974, per Dow Jones Market Data cited

@@zoobrizzDo you like polishing Ron DeSantis’s boots or something?

@@spencercarruth9706 He is stating facts. I guess it hurts you.

Disney can literally go nowhere... they barely make enough to sustain themselves as it is... A single hotel in Disneyland might be worth 350 million dollars. They can't just pick up the entire park and move. Also, the underlying laws on this are being ignored by the big media companies. They blow off the state case as if it doesn't matter, but the federal case is based on a cancelled development agreement and the state case is going to prove that the agreement failed to follow state law to be valid in the first place. If the contract is invalid, then there can't be any retaliation for cancelling it.

@@zoobrizz And yet, its stock remains higher than it was back when Frozen demolished at the box office, and in merch sales. Go figure.

Bravo!

Why did that Disney president think she could force her bad parenting on Florida parents? Her 2 children are Frankenstein monsters now.

Yes but with balls is steel

Brilliant response

@@MrVayolence BOOOOO…weak….. utterly woke comeback

Especially as a government, that gives off authoritarian vibes. "Only corporations that donate to me and are anti-woke be allowed to do business in Florida" is his idea.

What private entity was punished? The Reedy Creek improvement district was a special district established well before the current Florida Constitution was ratified. Really creek was a separate entity from the Disney corporation and it was also a government entity making it a public. Disney was also not the only shareholder in the Reedy Creek improvement district there were other companies, most of those companies hate Disney four issues such as it Disney refusing the building easement to their property.

@@woodchuck003 ​​⁠ ​​⁠ yes you are correct and all Laws and regulations were followed when the Reedy Creek district passed the conditions when dealing with Disney prior to Desantis signing the first Bill and appointing his New Reedy Creek district board. Now that Desantis has learned that a private entity has followed his states Laws to the letter but doesn’t like the outcome and is retaliating against that private entity trying to change the Laws seems to be the part you are missing

@@99treb9 Are you referring to the nonsense Disney tried to pull about them until the health of King Charles II; yeah none of that is legally binding due to the simple fact that they had a meeting in secret. As per Flordia statute boards have to give at least 30 days' notice when they meet, this is a part of the state's broad Sunshine Laws ( this is the reason why it's so easy for journalists to get the information need to write a Flordia man article) not only did they not give notice but not enough board members were even present to make anything they did legally binding. This stunt didn't gain Disney any favors, it actually lost them allies, this is actually evidence that the state can use to prove the Federal and State judges that Disney's lawsuits should be thrown out. But if you want to back the lying backstabbing mega cooperation be my guest in the long term you will be disappointed.

Oh....the irony 😂

Good for that previous council for realizing ol' Ron was abusing his authority

They are doing what is right, based on the Bible... Children need to be educated not endocrinated

So, Adam and Eve are the first humans and their kids produced the rest of the mankind by incest among themselves?

Desantis isn't keeping his motivations secret. He's loudly running a presidential campaign as a culture warrior smacking CA corporate elites down, associating Disney with "wokeness" and portraying himself as defending conservative values. Given he's aiming for the presidency little things like how he is scaring away future corporate investment in the state he's governor of, or how florida tourism could be impacted by politicizing it just don't matter to him.

​@@big6ta960children should not be indoctrinated by the bible

​@@big6ta960how is reading Buybull homosexuality is a sin and they will burn in hell cuz sky daddy love them that much ( which have no evidence whatsoever) is not indoctrination, while telling kids homosexuality in completely normal and we can see it every animal practicing it from small ant to big elephants is indoctrination?

@@newspin2477 this district isnt new

@Tori yeah it is. Florida government passed a bill to dissolve every district before 1968 when the Florida constitution was signed. This dissolved 6 districts, including Reedy Creek. Then, a new district, the Central Florida tourism oversight district was founded. This is done. Reedy Creek is officially gone... the government can justify this in many many ways, not that they have to because all pieces of state government fall under state jurisdiction. That's how all state governments work. There is federal government, and there is state government. All smaller bodies of government fall under the state government umbrella. To suggest the state doesnt have power to manage its own government is silly and this is just one of many reasons the law fully favors florida here.

@@newspin2477 De Sanctimonious replaced Disney's board with people HE picked to run Disney ! ! That is government appropriating a business for it's own purposes. Don't think that other businesses aren't taking note of this policy.

Pauline Larson every time a new district is formed (like the cftod) if the borders cross multiple counties then the governor appoints the first board, so it's not like a unique situation except that the new district covers the same borders that rcid did before it was dissolved. Also, I think you have it backwards on who is appropriating who... rcid was a government body under control of a private company. The Florida government taking back control of the Florida government putting things the way they were supposed to be. No private business is supposed to control the government where they operate.

Anything would be better than what we currently have!

he has my vote, sorry

​@@timtim4664 we have you, that's why

Guaranteed that over time, he wins all of these legal battles with Disney. I'm not sure if it'll be in time to win him an election in 2024, but there's a ton of misinformation on this legal situation. I made a long comment of my own if you want to hear why I believe this.

Or that other guy that lives there.

he is for sure one of the most popular fascists.

He is very popular here in Florida, but most people here also have very bad political education. Politics in Florida is just fear mongering and yelling idiotic slogans. It's kind of depressing.

I agree. Little Hitler Desantis is Trump 2.0. No one wants the corrosive dictator.

I guess he's loved for making grown up decisions, even for the grown ups.

I just figure that they are drunk, high or totally delusional.

An opportunist. When he is stopping them from indoctrinating something to children, he is trying to indoctrinate something to a big corporate.

That’s what a governor supposed to do !

Like discussing woke ideology to our children.

No one’s discussion woke ideology to anyone fruit cake. Banning books about gender, race, history..geez I can’t believe this anti-free speech party

@@therainenetwork3510 you can't even define what "woke ideology" means because it's a made up boogey man. Also, I didn't realize teaching kids about inclusion was worse and deserving of censorship, than the right which regularly encourages literal genocide against an entire community and then says they're allowed to say that under 1A.

Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences.

@@matthewledford7209 Freedom speech doesn't cover sexual abuse whether it be physical or verbal. Make no mistake. Disney's push for woke ideology on children is child abuse not freedom of speech.

Oh STFU.. no one wants Disney to become an LGBTQ propaganda machine for our children

Yes! And nor should he win!! He just causes his state a BILLION dollar project and over 2000 jobs!! All because he SPECIFICALLY targeted Disney, the states #1 employer!!! Not to mention the business and all the workers surrendering this area that could have benighted. And then there’s his wrongful book banning, homophobic and racist behavior!! Thank God I don’t have kids in school in Florida!! Ron is wrong on SO many levels, and now he thinks he’s gonna be president?!! Think again!! 🙄

R.I.P

A lot of Florida agrees with him on this. Also, a lot of the money numbers they present in the video are skewed. They said Disney was going to invest a billion in an office complex they are now ditching. It wasn't a billion dollar project, it was 860 million. Also, it was subsidised by the state which was going to cover over 500 million for it, so Disney was only putting in a little over 300 million. "Disney was planning on investing over 17 billion in the next decade." A lot of business say stuff like that but then don't. What a company plans to do and actually do are quite different. Also Legal Mindset channel covers the fact that Disney is most likely going to lose these cases. He practiced law dealing with special districts and Florida and knows what he's talking about.

Tina Turner, aka Anna Mae Bullock, has passed away at 83. 🏠 She died peacefully at her home in Küsnacht, Switzerland after a long illness. 🎶 Tina was a true music icon and role model, captivating millions of fans and inspiring generations of artists.

so you let a corporation do whatever they want?

Because politics is all theatrics so it comes off like a play

Because like most MAGGAT's, he's just a Drama Queen.

Lol😅

Look at those TN “senators” and we can talk about theatrics 😂

BECAUSE HE ISN’T GOOD WITH VOICE PROJECTION. his laughing also seems forced

Trump is going to prison

Way off

Way off, DeSantis will accuse Trump of being pro-woke.

Well trump is losing on that battle. Disney doesn’t stand for conservative values or principles. I would say they (leadership) probably despises republicans!

Between Republicans, DeSantis will dig in on Trump for supporting vaccines.

People visit Florida because it has nice vacation locations. Never heard anyone from California say they're going to Florida for Disney. It's always to check out the beaches or a cruise. Disney makes its money off the repeating customers that go every week, meaning it's locals.

@@Noblewar and the locals live there because Disneyworld is located there?

@@Noblewar California has DisneyLand...That's the biggest reason Californians don't say they are going to Disneyworld in Florida California also has nice vacation locations including some very very nice beaches and cruises. Californians go to Florida for two reasons: visit family or Caribbean stopover. Disney actually loses money on the locals. They get season passes and if they are anything like people I know in California: a season pass to Disneyland requires just under 8 visits to "pay for itself" . It's May and many of those Disneyland passes are paid for and Disney will "lose" money on them for the rest of the year.

@Ernesto Orozco no, they live there because they like the states' benefits. The same reason Pelosi bought a house there.

@P McLaughlin it's not money loss. They say that to get tax write offs. The gate price is not their main source of profit, its the sales while inside. That's why a lot of companies give free tickets away and why season passes for everything exist. Most people that visit Florida are old too. Lol like I said, vacations and cruises are why people visit. Just like people don't come visit California for Disney, it's to check out beaches, bay area, etc.
