Like the old saying goes Robert..." don't put all your eggs in one basket". It reminds me of the heavy industry economy that once centered around the steel mills around here, they thought it would never end until it did.
It's not my problem that your high-priced amusement park is a centerpiece of your economy and suffering from the economic slowdown and further still in the coming recession. Bidenomics for the WIN! Record high energy costs, high transportation cost, and high inflation in general, isn't going to convince many families to push the button on scheduling that already pricey vacation at Disneyworld.

There's also the saying, "Go Woke, Go Broke!

I don't know of any major metropolitan area that is/was not overly dependent on some industry/industries. Industries need to exist near sources of labor and major cities have that. It's certainly not the golden standard of diversification here, but is still better and very different from the steel industry. Steel is a fungible good. Traveling to Orlando's theme parks and beaches is so much less so.

I find it ironic that the colors red, white, and blue stand for freedom until they are flashing behind you.

Theory? Where have you been Frank? Disney is WOKE. it's no longer the place for wholesome family friendly entertainment for the children. It's the place for LGBQ+ grooming.

How about this latest tidbit?

The symptoms of paranoia can include:
Being defensive, hostile, and aggressive.
Being easily offended.
Believing you are always right and having trouble relaxing or letting your guard down.
Not being able to compromise, forgive, or accept criticism.
Not being able to trust or confide in other people.

Paranoia is terrible mental illness Frank. Have sympathy for Ray as well as alarms.

It would not be fair to point out Ray's mental illness without mentioning mine. I suffer from clinical depression, clinical anxiety, clinical OCD, and clinical OCPD.

‘The Corporate Kingdom Has Come To An End’: Florida Legislature To Strip Disney Of Self-Governing Status



The Florida Legislature announced Friday that it plans to strip the Reedy Creek Improvement District (RCID), where Walt Disney World is located, of its self-governing status.

DeSantis signed legislation stripping the company of its special tax status in April, following the company’s public opposition to the Parental Rights in Education Bill, which DeSantis signed into law.

“This company had a deal unlike any company or individual in all of the state of Florida, probably anywhere in the United States,” DeSantis told Tucker Carlson Tonight at the time. “They were self-governing, they had extraordinary powers, they could build nuclear power plants, they didn’t have to go through permitting processes and obviously a lot of tax benefits. And that’s just inappropriate.”

A notice was placed on the Osceola County website on Friday, saying that Disney’s self-governing status in the RCID would be replaced with a state-run board. The RCID is located in parts of Osceola and Orange counties. The company would also be required to pay $700 million in accumulated debt, according to sources in the governor’s office, Fox reported.

“The corporate kingdom has come to an end. Under the proposed legislation, Disney can no longer control its own government, will live under the same laws as everyone else, will be responsible for their outstanding debts, and will pay their fair share of taxes,” Communications director Taryn Fenske said in a statement.

“Imposing a state controlled board will also ensure that Orange County cannot use this issue as a pretext to raise taxes on Orange County residents.”

Disney had held its self-governing status since 1967, when Florida created the Reedy Creek Improvement District, allowing Disney to act as its own quasi-governmental territory. Under this status, Disney was allowed to build roads and buildings without state authorization. Since residents of Orange and Osceola County, where the theme park is located, did not pay taxes for these services, some were worried that residents would be on the hook for an enormous sum of money should the special status be revoked. The state’s decision to set up a state-run board is meant to address these concerns.

Disney did not respond to the Daily Caller’s request for comment by time of publication.

Um...we already did.

Disney suffered the worst blow not only at the box office but also on Wall Street. Their streaming services lost over a billion as well.

Now, Americans love a good comeback but Disney would have to renounce the woke garbage, stop the kiddie grooming and get serious about their business. To date...they raised ticket prices.

No, I am talking about the Reed Creek District bonds. Desantis says that is Disney's bill, a state commission has been set up to adress this. As fae as I can find the bonds now fo to the 2 counties according to the law. It is an expense over 1B. That needs to play out. In addition the services also must be paid for the ex-district, fire, police, infrastructure and so on. Disney lost, but Florida may also.
