heh

Really wonder if she'll come across this video. And if she does, will it spark any thoughts and second thoughts?

It also goes to show you, certain people are just wired this way regardless of education, class, etc.

How does an ex cult member end up married to a scotus justice, one might ask.

[hockeylover]

are they like... cancelling disney?

 

[Bleedsblue&white]

Disney should pull out.

Just like DeSantis' father should have done.

Crushing Disney would be the one good thing DeSantis has ever done, but I suspect this is just posturing on his part.

 

[hockeylover]

Um, don't have any numbers but... wouldn't crushing Disney have a pretty large impact on Florida's economy?

almost certainly, yes.

 

[hockeylover]

Meh, okay good. Go for it.

They aren't the only theme park in the state and their impact is likely overblown because they got so many concessions when Disney World was planned out that the state probably doesn't get much out of the deal. The deal Disney negotiated with Florida is a lot like how pro sports stadiums get built: the costs and debts are held publicly while the profits are held privately.

DIsney is likely 10x as impactful as the next biggest theme park (Universal). I think Disney brings in 70+ billion dollars to the economy. 400,000 jobs. Over 5 billion in state tax.

Your statement above is hilarious.

• $75.2 billion annual economic impact for Central Florida.
• 463,000 jobs.
• $5.8 billion in additional state tax revenue.

Disney World remains Florida's biggest political power 50 years later (tallahassee.com)

Yep, Disney World is a tourism monster. Largest single destination on the planet.

Barely notice it gone. Central Florida would still have lots of drawing power with Lego World.
