This isn't about shareholders. It's about political statements that some folks in the Florida government don't like.
This discussion is unavoidably political in the generic sense, there are dollar limits as to how much corps can contribute are there not, how much is the platform , position, presence worth, when "Disney" expresses an opinion?
