Is there a reason you can’t consolidate all of your reply’s into one post instead of making an individual post for each person/post that you reply to? If you did that, the number of posts in this and other threads would easily be reduced by 50% or more.

Thank you in advance for your kind consideration.

When I go to Disney it is a showcase, the roads, buildings and just about everything else is top notch. I compare this with just about everything else I see that local governments accomplish and there is no comparison, Disney does it better on all counts. The little kingdom runs well, no governing entity in Fl. does as well. Maybe that is why Tallahassee really wants to get in on some of the action. It's all about control and $$$$$. Don't get me started on interstate route 4.

I'm SHOCKED that you're not demanding that they "pay their fair share"...
I am sorry to disappoint you.

Ah, like the judge that recently reverse the feds mask mandate that was said to be NOT QUALIFIED by the ABA. Yeah, those judges. Wonder where she came from. She is obviously the best of the best.

Because someone would probably bitch about that, as well...

Yes, the ABA, which has ZERO political bias...

Then, I guess the whole "the rich must pay their fair share" is pointless?

Now, I just gotta' get rich and I'm set!

Default HB3c

From what I read, HB3c does affect some parts of The Villages. Read about the other sp2cial districts beside Reddy.

Have not read the entire thread...

Why not add a tax on Disney to cover their infrastructure cost savings on services transfered to the counties. They will primarily continue to be for Disney's benefit.

Seems there are multiple options to do so.

Is there anything in life that is not political? Well, maybe butterfly photo's, but I have faith someone here could find something about them that is political

I stand by my comment. if someone wants to criticize my comment they need to have something more meaningful than just a "short word salad" and then boring laughing memes. Try harder and be more thoughtful, thank you!

That's basically why there's even this new rule in the first place. It exists to rile people up and create mobs against teachers, against public education, against the LGBTQ+ demographic, against anything that doesn't fit a certain political agenda. That way, when anyone says "but that's unfair" the mob can be a mob, and bully anyone who disagrees into complacency. Eventually, people stop fighting, and we end up with restrictions and reduced freedom for all - except the few who make the rules.
