Proof?really? One of them is a man attempting to rule by fiat, break contracts and punish a company for not towing his PERSONAL MORAL line regardless of legal standing,

When he was in Congress, he was further right than Ryan on economic stuff, opposing progressive taxation and wanting to phase out SS and Medicare/Medicaid. His 2011 book also attacked Obama for meeting with foreign dictators and saying "we sometimes make mistakes." Also claims that the Constitution was instituted to prevent "redistribution of wealth through the political process." Maybe he was just blowing with the wind then too? But that raises the question of what the guy really thinks and would do with more power. We've already seen him try to use his power to silence critics.
whats scummy about it? It's literally the thing the Republicans always cry about wanting to do. To limit business opportunities to those they dont agree with.The only difference was Disney was punished for PROVIDING a service. California punished CVS for denying services to others. So it boils down to whats more important to YOU. Denying service or providing.So because one guy does something worse it's ok to ignore a scumbag move by someone else?
Got it.

They pay the most taxes in the State of Florida, more than any other business. Also the largest business.Are you purposefully being dense? I'm not a business expecting special perks.
I guess everyone isn’t trying to leave Cali after all.And most of those employees complained harshly about the planned move, set up in 2021 during what Disney Parks chief Josh D'Amaro called Florida's "business-friendly climate," The New York Times noted.
Ron winning the battle...against jobs in Florida.
Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) is scrapping a near-$1B office campus it planned to build in Florida, as well as related plans to relocate some 2,000 of its California workers to the offices, citing "changing business conditions."
Reading between those lines, though, it's part of the ongoing feud with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis over what Disney has called "targeted retaliation" against the company through crackdowns on its special taxing district.
The planned Lake Nona Town Center was set to bring more than 2,000 jobs to the Orlando region, at an average salary of $120,000. Many of those employees would have come from a Southern California department known as Imagineering, which works with Disney's moviemakers to develop theme park attractions.
And most of those employees complained harshly about the planned move, set up in 2021 during what Disney Parks chief Josh D'Amaro called Florida's "business-friendly climate," The New York Times noted. Meanwhile, Bob Iger, who recently returned as CEO, was much less enthusiastic about the Lake Nona development than Bob Chapek -- who took over from Iger as CEO in 2020 before his firing last year.
Now D'Amaro says business conditions are changing, and "I hope we're able to" continue plans for $17B in construction at Orlando's Disney World. But he's now looking at moving some 200 employees that already relocated back to California.
Meatball NeroNeeds to work on that nickname though. Ron DeSanctimonious just doesn't work well.
I think Ron is getting more popular

If they did not have the special district, my property taxes would be double to triple what they are now, based on various reports/studies.
There is a reason, White Boots Ron, never touched the tax portion of the special district, because 2 counties would have revolted and f the two counties being the 5th and 15th largest in population in Florida, could fuck up a Senate or Governor race, because the whole county would turn on him.
This shit might be playing to the MAGA crowd outside of Florida, but he is getting killed in Florida. He fucked up home owners insurance, by protecting the insurance companies. People are pissed he is constantly dealing with Disney and not taking care of shit that effects their wallet, like insurance. Disney does not effect their wallet, insurance does.
Hell the candidate he supported in the Jacksonville mayor race just took a giant L this week. If you know Florida, a Democrat mayor winning Jacksonville, is a big deal, and ever bigger deal when she beat the doors off a Desantis approved Candidate.
He should have stuck to the gay and tranny stuff, and banning books written by Black Hall of Fame baseball players that talk about segregation, Disney just embarrassed him again, with a legal maneuver again. I guess that is what you get, when you spend tax dollars on your old roommates law firm to represent Florida.

Disney was going to bring 2000 employees to Central Florida, but now scrapped that plan. I bet local businesses and builders near by are super happy about losing 2000 potential customers, because The Manlet Meatball got mad someone disagreed with him.
