I just don't want to die alone, that's all. That's not too much to ask for, is it It would be nice to have someone care about me, for who I am, not about my wallet.

Smells like convenience and hypocrisy.

Corporations don’t publicly disagree. They spend a ****-ton on lobbying. That was Disney’s mistake. Normally they spend millions in Florida to get what they want.

Spey...are you mad that DeSantis is against wokism? Are you mad that those crumby Disney authoritarian executives who also play footsy with Chicoms are under attack, mainly from consumers I would hope for creating a new Magic Kingdom where there are no Boys and Girls? Where maybe Micky is trans and Miney is a lesbian?
Does that all make you sad?

No Frank, I am not surprised in the least. When it favors his beliefs Draconian measures from a Dictator are just fine. I feel sorry for Robert about the massive property tax increase he will see if Disney stays open, or the massive unemployment rate if they bail.

Realistically the bill has multiple problems. If you read the initial special districts bill, and the new bill, the new bill is illegal. Also freedom of speech is being violated. As there are many religions that accept all people with open arms I think a case could be made that freedom of religion is being violated due to extreme interference with members of certain churches.

If this does happen DeSantis has lost. Based on the massive tax increases that will be needed or the massive unemployment, there will be a recall election and he will loose.

I doubt that he cares, he is aiming for the presidency. He has no interest in governing Florida in the best manner for the people of Florida. He is walking a slippery slope. In either of the above scenarios in my opinion he has no chance to carry a presidential election in Florida.

It will be interesting to watch this play out. Floridians loose in all scenarios other than the courts overruling this. Actually the 2020 and 2022 elections will be very interesting. Much of the south is alienating working proffesionals due to overriding a woman's right to self determination of her body and decreasing minorities ability to vote. This will ultimately cause a brain drain to the south due to relocation. This will then trigger loosing a significant percentage of jobs due to corporate relocation. There will be massive tax losses causing there to be many even poorer southern states. Mind you, all of this is only my opinion, but the above seems very plausible to me.

I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

Ima go out on a limb here and say absolutely none of that happens. There will be no mass individual or corporate migration back to Cali, New York, and the rust belt.

Rfenst is just gonna need to find that extra $86K per year in property taxes or move to Massachusetts.

HD, I doubt that many other than the looney left want young children exposed to sexual education in any form at school. Read the bill, even an accurate synopsis of it. There are other parts that are Draconian, Victorian, and homofobic all at once. They need to go. This bill will never fly unless SCOTUS makes decisions on political affiliation as opposed to constitutional understanding.

Also, DeSantis has miscalculated in my opinion, the mouse has deeeeep pockets which they are more than willing to open for PACS during federal elections.
