Central Florida homelessness increased in 2022 due to high rents, according to the Homeless Services Network. The number of homeless people on any given day rose, and the situation is expected to worsen before improving. This...
DeSantis has very poor political instincts. He is a very unlikeable guy who seem to like to play the villain. Not a good look.
Imagine being dumb enough to learn literally everything you know about someone from his opponents and thinking you have any idea what the person is actually like.
I am 100% team Disney I think DeSantis is a terrible human being who has no business governing anyone. That's being said this has nothing to do with DeSantis. Disney internally started canceling that project almost a year ago because of the backlash of the staff that didn't want to move to Florida from California.
Nothing to do with Desantis? What are you talking about. You think nobody wants to move there because they don’t like the beaches? They don’t want to love there because of Desantis.
The decision was made prior to Chapek saying anything about Ronnie's weird gay bill. It just wasn't public.
The imagineers didn't want to leave CA for CLbor anywhere else. They wanted to stay in CA.
Disney is cancelling plans for a one billion dollar office complex to be built in Florida, due to changing business conditions. 2,000 white collar jobs will be lost. Ouch!
They took a woke position and the public reacted. Disney’s issues stem from their own actions. Parents are indirectly doing to Disney what drunks are doing to Budweiser. Taking a controversial position comes with a price.

If that is the case, it is even more of a beautiful body slam on DeSantis. Disney slams DeSantis, makes him look really inept and hurtful to the state, and it doesn't cost Disney a thing!
It's a win/win for Disney and DeSantis continues on his path to loserville. I guess DeSantis ain't so tough after all.
If you took the worst qualities of Marjorie Trailer Grease and stirred them up in a blender with Lauren Boebert's intellect with the goal of producing a lestrun poster. The result would be Ghost of Disco.

If you weren’t outraged about AOC bragging about squashing the Amazon HQ project in New York City then please sit your a$ down and stfu about DeSantis and Disney pulling plug on project in Florida. You were all silent about AOC's sabotage.

Whataboutism
Yeah all those Floridians are fed up with DeSantis and moving to NY and Illinois...
Since the pandemic Florida has added 655,000 residents while California has lost about the same number. I’d call that winning. The Republicans top prospect is far outshining the Democrats top prospect (Newsom with his great hair and $31.5 billion budget shortfall).

No, he just had to listen to DeSantis.
DESANTIS LOSES AGAIN!
New College has an alternate graduation ceremony as a slap in the face to DeSantis.
Graduates at the New College of Florida held an alternative commencement ceremony Thursday evening in protest of Gov. Ron DeSantis’ conservative takeover of the college earlier this year.
To take away all the political angles here - I know, I am no fun... - I don't see any company investing in building new class-A office assets in this environment. Any excuse to get out of it or stall groundbreaking would be a Godsend to Disney right now.
I'm sure this definitely doesn't have anything to do with the company's financials or the fact that their valuation dropped $20 billion after their last earnings
Honest question, how does this really hurt Florida much? They don't have state income tax. And this is a business complex, not a new tourist attraction bringing in people to spend money. Tourism (people visiting Florida and spending their money there) is more important to Florida than having white collar jobs in Florida.
The main place it hurts is the missed construction labor work that it would take for a few years to build it all. But you're not going to miss the income tax for those 2,000 workers because it doesn't exist. You'd only miss their property tax, big whoop.
